Many employ \u201cby-pass\u201d designs, which enable consistent airflows in the enclosure for various sash positions. Low airflow designs provide user protection while minimizing energy costs.<\/p>\n<p><b>Biosafety and PCR Enclosures<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Hybrid models enable handling of sensitive materials while protecting the user. Airflow is HEPA filtered entering the cabinet and again upon exit, or discharged to the outside. Applications include manipulating dangerous but sensitive biological materials, e.g. Class II, Type A2 cabinets.<\/p>\n<p><b>Extractor Systems <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Provide localized ventilation at the contaminant source. Extractor arms can be easily positioned to remove fumes or airborne particulates. Often used when the fume source cannot be readily moved to a conventional hood or when fumes are innocuous, e.g. bad-smelling without being chemically dangerous. May vent to outside or recirculate into the room through a filter.<\/p>\n<p><b>Vented Enclosures <\/b><\/p>\n<p>These hoods enhance fume removal by partially surrounding the fume source. Some models direct forced airflow to afford further protection. Low-flow ventilation systems enable delicate operations, e.g. weighing while maintaining personal protection. May vent to outside or recirculate into the room through a filter.<\/p>\n<p><b>Ductless Fume Hoods <\/b><\/p>\n<p>These enclosures pass contaminated air through a filter(s) before returning air to the room. Use for locations where outside ventilation cannot be achieved. These can eliminate very high percentages of particulates and biological hazards. Select airborne chemical levels can be reduced to safe levels as verified with monitoring protocols.<\/p>\n<p><i>View a selection of <\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coleparmer.com\/Category\/Fume_Hoods\/1885?referred_id=5618\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><i>fume hoods<\/i><\/a><i>.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Protect workers from fumes and vapors with appropriate ventilation.
