FUME HOOD
A fume hood is a ventilated enclosure used in laboratories to safely handle hazardous or volatile substances. It works by drawing air away from the user and venting harmful fumes, vapors, or dust through a filtration system or exhaust duct. This protects laboratory personnel from inhaling toxic chemicals and helps prevent fire or explosion risks. Fume hoods are essential safety equipment in chemistry labs and must be used correctly—with the sash at the proper height and minimal obstruction inside—to ensure effectiveness.

Ductless classroom demonstration fume hoods are specialized safety enclosures used in educational labs to protect users from hazardous fumes or vapors during chemical demonstrations, without requiring external ducting.
Laboratory working station furniture is specially designed to support scientific research and experimentation. It includes workbenches, fume hoods, storage cabinets, sinks, and service fixtures. These furniture pieces are made from durable, chemical-resistant materials like epoxy resin, stainless steel, or phenolic resin. Key features include modularity, ergonomic design, and integrated utilities such as gas taps and electrical outlets. Proper lab furniture ensures safety, efficiency, and organization in laboratory environments.
A lab chair is a specially designed seat used in laboratories to provide comfort, support, and mobility during long working hours. It often features height adjustment, chemical-resistant materials, ergonomic design, and wheels for easy movement. Lab chairs are essential in ensuring safe posture and reducing fatigue for technicians and researchers in clinical, chemical, and research labs.
A Biological Safety Cabinet (BSC) is a ventilated laboratory workspace designed to protect the user, the environment, and the materials being handled from exposure to biohazards and infectious agents. It uses HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters to clean the air entering and exiting the cabinet. Unlike chemical fume hoods, BSCs also maintain a sterile environment for sensitive biological samples. There are three main classes (I, II, and III), with Class II being the most commonly used in microbiology and biomedical labs.
A Pathology Workstation is a specialized lab setup designed to support safe, efficient handling and examination of biological specimens, such as tissues and fluids. It typically includes ventilation systems, lighting, microscope platforms, and sample storage. Used in histopathology and clinical labs, it helps pathologists perform grossing, staining, and slide preparation with ergonomic design and contamination control.
