Floor-Mounted Fume Hood
Floor-Mounted fume hoods(or walk-in hoods) are used where taller apparatus is required for equipment is rolled into the hood. These hoods provide a minimum 78″ of interior working height.
Radioisotopes Fume Hood
Isotope hoods are designed for use with radioactive materials. The radioisotopes hods have type 304 stainless steel cove corner seamless welded construction – for easy cleaning and decontamination.
Perchloric Acid Fume Hood
A perchloric acid hood has the general characteristics of a bench-top hoods, but the interior lining is coved and welded seamless stainless steel.In perchloric acid hood non-reactive and corrosion-resistant material is extended all the way through the exhaust system.
