What are fume hoods, and how they are
different from laminar hood
The Fume hood is a ventilated room that removes harmful chemical gases and volatile vapors
from the laboratory and provides only personal protection. Biological safety cabinets (or
biosafety cabinets) use HEPA filters to provide environmental, personnel, and product protection.
Depending on the application, the filtered air can be recirculated or exhausted, making it suitable
for handling dangerous particles such as bacteria and viruses.
Without these toxic substances, staff, regardless of scientists, pharmacists, researchers, or other
professions, cannot perform certain tasks or complete tasks. They can be mixed, matched, added,
deleted, or researched, and these factors are "necessary evil" for some professions and businesses
to thrive. Fortunately, protective safety equipment is provided to prevent workers from being
exposed to harmful substances. A Low hood is different from fume hood in various things.
Both are designed to safely handle specially designed scientific risks, but differ in the exact type
of protection provided, the airflow, and the appropriate use.
Here are some general points to consider if you need to choose a lab “hood”.
Please note that improper selection or use of equipment can have serious health and safety
consequences.
Protection
To know the kind of security you need is the first pace in choosing the correct lab inclusion.
Biosafety cabinets protect the environment, personnel and products, while range hoods protect
personnel only. The safety is also an important factor in Lowhood also.
