Ask these questions while thinking of buying a fume hood
Air filtration solutions such as fume hoods, biological safety
cabinets, and ventilation are important safety features in a
laboratory as they protect lab users from vulnerable situations.
Hence, before purchasing one, it is vital to realise the specifications
required for your laboratory objectives.
Here are the 5 questions that you must ask your laboratory
furniture manufacturer -
1. How will the unit be deployed for application? Will the fume hood
suffice, or you would also require a biological safety cabinet?
2. What is the capacity requirement? That is if you require more
than one unit to incorporate the processes that will take place in
your laboratory.
3. How often will the fume hood be used? How will it help you to
save on the energy costs?
Vanguard’s fume hood will give you energy savings by up to 80%
with automation features that ensure safety and ease of use.
4. What is the requirement of your lab workers? What kind of hood
would they need?
Vanguard’s fume hood contains patented laminar air-curtain
technology delivering exceptional spill-free performance.

5. Where should the hood be placed in the lab? This is because the
noise of the hood should not disturb other lab workers.
Fume hoods and other ventilation systems can be energy
absorbents for your laboratory. Owing to this, it is a great idea to
purchase new equipment in order to boost efficiency. If you have
some specific applications for a fume hood, then you can buy
ductless fume hood. It also saves energy.
When we say about efficient fume hoods, Vanguard is the world’s
first synchronised supply hood, and an independent containment
system. With the modular design, you may experience the
simplicity and uniformity in operating the hood.
