PERFORMANCE FEATURES
AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Performance Features
Labconco has combined its patented (U.S. Patent No. 6,461,233) fully featured,
containment-enhancing Protector Hood design with Neutrodine filtration
technology to deliver a multi-use fume hood that requires no ducting. The
Protector Filtered Hood provides safety, energy savings, and adaptability to ever-
changing lab spaces.
The Protector Filtered Fume Hood is designed to meet the needs of the laboratory
scientist at OSHA-approved velocities from 60 to 100 feet per minute. The
filtered fume hood has been designed to effectively contain toxic, noxious, or
other harmful materials when properly installed. A fully featured by-pass hood
with Neutrodine universal filter technology enables this filtered hood to maintain
safe airflow with excellent filtration efficiency. Accessory Sash Reduction Wings
are also available. Airflow is diverted behind the front panel and under the air foil
to help control fluctuations in face velocity, which occur as the sash is closed.
The filtered hood is SEFA 9 compliant as a DH3 for ductless hoods and ductless
enclosures with back-up safety filters.
The Benefits of Filter Technology
1. Neutrodine filtration takes the guesswork out of carbon filter choices
allowing simultaneous handling of solvents, acids and bases with one
comprehensive filter.
2. Backup secondary filter provides added safety after breakthrough and
until filter change can occur.
3. Sensor package detects filter saturation detection, temperature, sash
position and user identification. Alarms sound when unsafe conditions are
detected.
