A fume hood, or fume cupboard, is a local ventilation device designed to protect users from hazardous fumes, vapors, and dusts in a laboratory. It features a fully enclosed workspace with a transparent front sash, which can be adjusted to control airflow and create a negative pressure zone. This setup captures and contains contaminants effectively. The hood's exhaust system removes and filters harmful substances, maintaining a safe environment by expelling toxic fumes either outside or back into the lab, depending on the hood type.
An air shower is used in cleanrooms and controlled environments to Remove Contaminant, Maintain Cleanliness and Improve Cleanroom Integrity, Enhance Hygiene.
A static pass box (also known as a pass-through hatch or transfer hatch) is a critical piece of equipment used in cleanroom environments to transfer materials or small equipment between areas of different cleanliness levels without compromising the cleanliness of either area.
A dynamic pass box is an advanced piece of equipment used in clean room environments to facilitate the safe and contamination-free transfer of materials between areas of different cleanliness levels. It is designed to provide an added layer of protection compared to a static pass box by using controlled airflow and filtration.
A vertical laminar air flow cabinet is used to create a sterile working environment by providing a continuous flow of HEPA-filtered air in a vertical direction. This ensures that the workspace is free from airborne contaminants, making it ideal for applications that require a controlled and clean atmosphere.
A horizontal laminar air flow cabinet is designed to provide a controlled, sterile environment by directing HEPA-filtered air horizontally across the work surface.
A bio safety cabinet (BSC) is essential for providing a controlled environment to protect laboratory personnel, the environment, and the samples from potential biological hazards
