Fume Hoods provide safe air quality solutions for students, researchers, scientists, and employees in laboratory facilities for schools, universities, government, biopharma, and more. They are the first line of defense against airborne contaminants in the lab environment. A chemical laboratory fume hood keeps harmful fumes from escaping into workspaces by providing localized filtration and ventilation. At H2I Group, we offer laboratory furniture and fume hoods that provide the perfect solution for your laboratory’s operational and air quality needs.
We offer a wide variety of fume hoods from top manufacturers, including ducted and ductless models to accommodate your space and installation requirements. The main difference between a ducted and a non-ducted laboratory fume hood lies in how they handle the air and contaminants generated during laboratory procedures. Both types of fume hoods are designed to protect lab workers from harmful fumes, vapors, or particles that may be produced while working with hazardous substances. A ducted lab fume hood is a more traditional and common type of fume hood you see in laboratories. It is connected to an exhaust system through a ventilation duct that directs the contaminated air outside of the building. A non-ducted lab fume hood utilizes filtration systems to purify the air before recirculating it back into the laboratory.
Our extensive experience includes testing, certification, and chemical assessments to ensure your facility has the right equipment for handling chemicals safely. At H2I Group, we have developed strong relationships with multiple manufacturers and vendors to ensure you get the right fume hood for your space depending on your budget, location, and specifications.
Lab fume hoods play a critical role in ensuring the safety of lab users and maintaining a healthy working environment. They safeguard lab personnel, minimize the risks associated with handling hazardous materials, and contribute to overall lab safety, compliance, and productivity. It is essential to use and maintain lab fume hoods correctly to ensure their effectiveness in providing a safe working environment for everyone involved in laboratory operations.
