Laboratory Fume Cupboard with Extraction Fan
₹77,450.00
The StemAids Laboratory Fume Cupboard with Extraction Fan is a ducted chemical safety enclosure designed to remove harmful fumes, vapours, odours, gases, and airborne contaminants from the laboratory working area. It is suitable for chemistry laboratories, schools, colleges, pharmaceutical labs, research facilities, industrial quality-control laboratories, testing labs, and institutional science laboratories.
Product Description
The StemAids Laboratory Fume Cupboard with Extraction Fan provides a controlled workspace for handling chemicals that may release fumes or vapours during experiments, heating, mixing, reagent preparation, sample digestion, solvent handling, acid handling, and routine laboratory processes. The extraction fan draws contaminated air away from the user and directs it through a ducting system for safe discharge outside the laboratory.
The fume cupboard is designed with a front sash, work chamber, chemical-resistant worktop, exhaust collar, internal lighting, and extraction fan system. It helps protect laboratory personnel by maintaining inward airflow at the front opening and reducing the risk of fumes spreading into the room.
Important Note: This is a chemical fume cupboard, not a biological safety cabinet. It should not be used for infectious biological materials, radioactive substances, explosive reactions, or highly toxic chemicals unless the complete system design, ducting, airflow, filtration, and safety controls are approved by qualified laboratory safety personnel.

Safety and Handling Guidelines
- Use the fume cupboard only after confirming that the extraction fan and ducting are working properly.
- Do not use the fume cupboard if airflow is weak, reversed, unstable, or not verified.
- Keep the sash as low as practical during operation for better user protection.
- Do not store unnecessary chemicals inside the working chamber.
- Do not use for explosive reactions unless the hood is specially designed for that risk.
- Do not use for biological containment unless the equipment is specifically certified for biological safety.
- Keep ignition sources away when working with flammable solvents.
- Use suitable PPE such as lab coat, gloves, goggles, and face protection where required.
- Follow SDS instructions for every chemical used inside the fume cupboard.
- Do not place your head inside the hood while work is in progress.
- Clean spills immediately using approved spill-control procedures.
- Schedule periodic airflow testing, duct inspection, fan maintenance, and sash inspection.

FAQ
1. What is the StemAids Laboratory Fume Cupboard with Extraction Fan used for?
It is used to remove chemical fumes, vapours, odours, gases, and airborne contaminants from laboratory work areas through a ducted exhaust system.
2. Does this fume cupboard require ducting?
Yes, it is a ducted fume cupboard and must be connected to a suitable external exhaust ducting system.
3. What is the role of the extraction fan?
The extraction fan creates airflow that pulls contaminated air from the work chamber and discharges it through the duct system.
4. What is the recommended face velocity?
Many laboratory fume cupboards are designed around a face velocity of approximately 0.4 to 0.6 m/s, depending on the applicable safety standard and laboratory design.
5. Can it be used for acid handling?
Yes, acid handling is possible when the fume cupboard lining, worktop, ducting, and fan material are compatible with the acid vapours being used.
6. Can it be used for solvent handling?
Yes, solvent vapour handling is possible when ventilation, airflow, fan type, ducting, and fire-safety precautions are suitable for the solvent risk.
7. Is this a ductless fume hood?
No, this is a ducted fume cupboard. It removes contaminated air through external ducting instead of recirculating filtered air back into the room.
8. Is it suitable for school and college laboratories?
Yes, it is suitable for educational chemistry laboratories when installed correctly and used under supervision with proper safety procedures.
9. Can chemicals be stored inside the fume cupboard?
The work chamber should not be used as a chemical storage area. Only chemicals required for the current procedure should be kept inside during work.
10. What should be checked before use?
Check fan operation, airflow direction, sash movement, worktop cleanliness, duct connection, and chemical compatibility before starting work.
11. What happens if the airflow is weak?
Stop work immediately and do not use the fume cupboard until the fan, ducting, airflow path, and exhaust system are inspected and corrected.
12. How should the fume cupboard be maintained?
Clean the worktop regularly, inspect the sash and seals, verify airflow, service the extraction fan, check ducting, inspect the work chamber lining, and document maintenance according to laboratory SOP.
