Types of fume hoods vary in how they operate. Balance enclosures may be ducted to the outside or connected to a HEPA and\/or carbon filter to exhaust back into the laboratory. Ductless fume hoods pass contaminated air through a filter(s) before returning air to the room. These fume hoods are used in locations that do not have outside ventilation. Ducted fume hoods have ventilation to the outside and provide the most rigorous protection, especially for chemically dangerous fumes.<\/p>\n<p>Extractor systems offer localized ventilation at the source of contamination. Extractor arms can be positioned to remove fumes or airborne particulates. These may vent to the outside or recirculate into the room through a filter. A specialty type of enclosure\u2014the PCR enclosure\u2014is designed for PCR experiments and shifts HEPA-filtered air downward.
