AMS Global Fume Hood (FH) is designed to provide personnel, environmental and product protection. Air flow is drawn around the operator into the front grille of the cabinet, which provides personal protection.

A fume hood is typically a large piece of equipment enclosing five sides of a work area, the bottom of which is most located at a standing work height.

Types of Fume Hood

  • Super Structure Benchtop Type
  • Table Type Fume Hood
  • Ductless fumehood

The principle is the same for all types: air is drawn in from the front (open) side of the cabinet, and either expelled outside the building or made safe through filtration and fed back into the room.

This is used to:

  • protect the user from inhaling toxic gases (fume hoods, biosafety cabinets, glove boxes)
  • protect the product or experiment (biosafety cabinets, glove boxes)
  • protect the environment (recirculating fume hoods, certain biosafety cabinets, and any other type when fitted with appropriate filters in the exhaust airstream)
