Campanas de laboratorio for the laboratory

Ventilated enclosures that protect the operator from harmful vapors, gases and particles when handling chemical substances, capturing and either exhausting or filtering the contaminated air. They are available ducted to the outside and ductless (with activated carbon filtration), in addition to flow hoods that protect the sample.

campanas de laboratorio guide

Safe handling of volatile reagents and hazardous substances in research, quality control, chemistry and process laboratories, where personnel must be protected from inhaling contaminants.

How to choose campanas de laboratorio

  • It depends on whether ducting to the outside or ductless filtration is needed
  • The type of substances handled
  • The size of the work area
  • The construction material
  • The face airflow and the monitoring provided. Specific values come from the catalog (Sanity)

Frequently asked questions about campanas de laboratorio

Ducted or ductless hood?

A ducted hood exhausts vapors to the outside and is the benchmark for intensive chemical use or highly hazardous substances; a ductless hood filters the air with activated carbon and recirculates it, with no construction work required, making it ideal when use is limited and the compounds are compatible with the filter. The decision starts from your actual chemical inventory.

How often are the filters of a ductless hood replaced?

It depends on the substances, frequency and concentrations of use; manufacturers provide saturation guidance and sensors or monitoring programs. The key points are to validate that your chemicals are captured by that filter type and to keep a usage log.

What face velocity should it have?

Common practice is around 0.4-0.5 m/s with the sash at working height: enough to contain vapors without turbulence. It must be verified on site after installation and periodically thereafter.

Does a fume hood protect me when handling biological agents?

No: biological agents require a biosafety cabinet with HEPA filtration. A chemical hood protects against vapors and gases; they are different pieces of equipment for different risks.
