Esco laboratory fume hoods

Laboratory fume hoods serve to control exposure to toxic, offensive or flammable vapors, gases and aerosols. Fume hoods are the primary method of exposure control in the laboratory. The laboratory fume hood is a type of local exhaust ventilation system (engineering control). A typical fume hood is a cabinet with a moveable front sash (window) made out of safety glass. A properly used and properly functioning fume hood exhausts hazardous gases, dusts, mists, and vapors from a confined location and helps protect workers from inhalation exposure.

Disclaimer: Esco Frontier® is UL classified.  Due to the custom nature of the range, some options do not qualify for the UL label.

Frontier® Perchloric™ Fume Hoods
Esco Frontier Perchloric Fume Hood is designed to be used when handling hot perchloric acid, hot nitric acid, or for routine use of perchloric acid. Do not handle sulfuric acid, acetic acid, organic solvents, or any combustible materials in perchloric acid hoods.

This specialized fume hood is built with stainless steel internal surfaces (including the work surface) and a wash-down system of water spray nozzles dispersed throughout the hood. When heated, perchloric acid vaporizes and condenses on hood, duct and fan components. In addition to being highly corrosive, condensed vapors can react with hood gaskets, greases and other collected materials to form explosive perchloric salts and esters. Therefore stainless steel surfaces enhance cleanability and a water wash-down removes any explosive compounds that might have formed on the internal surfaces.

Key Benefits:
⦁ UL classified
⦁ Smooth coved corners
⦁ Built in wash down system
⦁ Excellent aesthetics
⦁ 5 degree sloped front
⦁ Superior containment at 0.3m/s
⦁ High energy savings

Frontier® Acid Digestion™
Esco Frontier® Acid Digestion™ is designed to handle very concentrated acids at high temperatures. This specialized fume hood is built with unplasticised polyvinylchloride (u-PVC) known for its superior chemical resistance while the sash window is made of polycarbonate to prevent etching.
Key Benefits:
⦁ ASHRAE 110 and EN 14175 compliance assures maximum operator safety.
⦁ Full uPVC or PP interior for excellent chemical resistance and avoid immediate corrosion.
⦁ 5° angled front of the sash reduces glare and reflection for operator comfort.
⦁ Superior containment at 0.3 m/s results to high energy savings.
Frontier® PPH™ Fume Hood
The Frontier® PPH™ Fume Hood provides the highest level of protection and containment against highly corrosive chemicals. Its full polypropylene interior and exterior makes it metal-free, therefore suitable for sensitive work such as trace metal analysis.

Key Benefits:

⦁ Excellent aesthetics
⦁ 5 degree sloped front
⦁ Unique perforated baffle design
⦁ Superior containment at 0.5m/s
⦁ High energy savings
Frontier® Radioisotope™
Esco Frontier® Radioisotope™ Fume Hood is designed to be used when handling radioactive materials. This specialized fume hood is built with stainless steel internal surfaces (including the work surface) with coved seamless welded corners for easy cleaning and decontamination. Frontier® Radioisotope™ fume hoods have been engineered to provide maximum safety while using low level Alpha and lower level Beta particles. In addition, these hoods provide containment performance similar to that of high performance low velocity fume hoods.

Key Benefits:
⦁ UL classified
⦁ Smooth coved corners
⦁ Reinforced worksurface
⦁ Excellent aesthetics
⦁ 5 degree sloped front
⦁ Superior containment at 0.3m/s
⦁ High energy savings
