Collection: Laboratory Ventilation
Lab1st Laboratory Ventilation including Biological Safety Cabinet, Fume Hood and Laminar Flow Cabinet.
A Biosafety Cabinet (BSC)—also called a biological safety cabinet or microbiological safety cabinet—is an enclosed, ventilated laboratory workspace used for the safe handling of materials contaminated (or potentially contaminated) by pathogens and requires provision biosafety level. Several different types of BSCs exist, distinguished by the degree of bioprotection they provide. According to the level of personnel, environmental and product protection provided, the biosafety cabinet is classified into 3 classes: Class I, Class II and Class III.
A Laminar Flow Cabinet or tissue culture hood is a carefully enclosed workbench designed to prevent contamination of semiconductor wafers, biological samples, or any particle-sensitive material. The air is inhaled through the HEPA filter and blown towards the user in a very smooth laminar flow. Because of the direction of the airflow, the sample can be protected from the user, but the user cannot be protected from the sample. Lab1st provides horizontal and vertical hoods, and there are many different types of cabinets with various airflow patterns and acceptable uses.
A Fume Hood—also called fume cupboard or fume closet—is a local ventilation device designed to limit exposure to hazardous or toxic fumes, vapors, or dust. It is a specific type of air ventilation system equipped with powerful and energy-efficient fans and high-quality filtration media. Lab1st provides both duted and recirculating (ductless) fume hoods.

Biological Safety Cabinet
Lab1st Biological Safety Cabinets provide personnel, product and environmental protection. The design improves laboratory safety practices and process accuracy.
Lab1st BSC-series cabinet is to serve as a tool to protect the laboratory researchers and the environment from particulate and aerosol hazards. All exhaust air is HEPA-filtered as it exits the biosafety cabinet, removing harmful bacteria and viruses, and discharging them directly into the laboratory, or into an exhaust system through the optional canopy connection.
Laminar Flow Cabinet
Laminar Flow Cabinet
Lab1st laminar flow cabinet is a work bench which can filter out harmful particles in the air and create a laminar, unidirectional and sterile airflow in the work zone, which acts as an effective solution for samples, equipments and any particle sensitive materials. It can be used in a multitude of settings like hospital, laboratories, pharmaceutical industry and so on.
Lab1st provides vertical and horizontal 2 types laminar flow cabinet. In a vertical laminar flow cabinet, the filter is at the top of the cabinet and the sterile air vertically passes through the work zone. In a horizontal laminar flow cabinet, the filter is on the back of the cabinet and the filtered air horrizontally passes through the work zone.
Fume Hood
Fume Hood
A fume hood is a special type of air ventilation system equipped with powful and energy-efficient fans and high-quality filtration media. The hood primarily functions to enact as a safety engineering control and provide protection from fumes, particulate and dust against personnel. Secondarily, these fume hoods are built to protect users from application hazards such as fires, chemical spills and adverse reactions. The principle is the same for both types: air is drawn fron the front (open) side of the cabinet, and either expelled outside the building or made safe through filtration and fed back into the room.
Lab1st provides both ducted and recirculating (ductless) fume hoods. Ducted fume hood should connect to a remote exhaust system to safety ventilate outside the building. It employ multiple filters (optional) and a strong fan. It is suitable when there is a potential for being exposed to high volumes of particulate and toxic fumes. Ductless fume hood capture and remove contaminants and send clean, filtered air back into the lab without the need for external venting. Its air filtration systems are designed to keep harmful airborne contaminants away from the operator's respiratory zone while they work within the hood.
