Flexible Fume Hood
A Flexible Fume Hood refers to a laboratory safety device designed for adaptability and mobility, often featuring movable or adjustable components to suit different experimental setups and locations. These fume hoods are engineered to capture and remove hazardous fumes, vapors, and particles from laboratory processes, ensuring user protection and air cleanliness.
Key Features of Flexible Hoods
- Ductless operation — Air is filtered and recirculated back into the room (no external ducting required, making installation simple and portable).
- Highly adaptable filtration — Quickly swap or stack filters to handle liquids, powders, multiple chemical families, or even cleanroom-level particle control in one unit.
- Safety monitoring — Real-time sensors for air face velocity, filter saturation (chemical and particulate), alarms, and optional app connectivity (eGuard).
- Energy-efficient & eco-friendly — Lower operating costs than traditional ducted hoods (no conditioned air is exhausted outside).
- Compliance — Meets standards like AFNOR NFX 15-211 (Class 1/2), ASHRAE 110, etc., for containment and filtration performance.
- Sizes — Available in various widths (e.g., 32", 39", 48", 71") and configurations (benchtop or mobile)
Other Interpretations of “Flexible Fume Hood”
- Portable/mobile ductless fume hoods → Fully wheeled units that can be moved between rooms (common in schools or multi-use labs).
- Fume extractors with flexible arms/snorkels → Localized extraction arms (sometimes called “flexible fume hoods”) that position a capture hood exactly where needed, rather than a full enclosure.
