Perhaps the most important investment you will make in constructing your laboratory is your choice of fume hood. From a safety perspective the fume hood is the first line of defense a researcher has against noxious fumes. When selecting a fume hood, look for one that has been tested to ASHRAE standards. A fume hood should be built with rigid frame construction, with low vibration and sound levels. In addition, the inclusion of Radius corner posts and air foils plus easy operator control of interior baffle settings assure a high level of comfort, safety and efficiency. What are some of the key factors that you look for when comparing fume hoods?
