FH1000(E) BioBase – Chemical safety hood for laboratories
The BioBase FH1000(E) chemical fume hood is an essential device for ensuring operator safety when working with volatile or toxic chemicals. Designed to effectively protect the user from exposure to harmful vapours, it creates a physical barrier and a controlled air flow that quickly evacuates dangerous fumes to the outside. Thanks to its ergonomic and robust design, it fits perfectly into any laboratory environment, whether for chemistry, biology, environmental analysis or industrial research.
This hood stands out for its nine-speed adjustable ventilation system, offering precise control of the air flow according to experimental requirements. This flexibility allows you to work on low-emission operations as well as processes that produce more concentrated vapours. Control is provided by a microprocessor combined with a clear LED display, ensuring easy reading of parameters and intuitive operation. Even in the event of a power failure, a memory system retains the settings to avoid unnecessary reconfiguration when restarting.
The structural design of the FH1000(E) prioritises durability and resistance to demanding chemical environments. The exterior is made of 1.0 mm cold-rolled steel coated with antibacterial powder paint, while the interior is made of compact laminated panels capable of withstanding moderate acids and bases. The worktop, made of chemical-resistant phenolic resin, provides a reliable and easy-to-clean surface, essential for maintaining a high level of hygiene and safety.
The hood is equipped with a 5 mm tempered glass front window, adjustable in height to facilitate access to the work area while maintaining the necessary protection. The integrated polypropylene centrifugal fan ensures constant air flow and low noise levels, not exceeding 68 dB, to maintain acoustic comfort in the laboratory. Installation is simplified thanks to a five-metre PVC exhaust duct.
On a practical level, the FH1000(E) has integrated waterproof sockets for powering instruments with a total power of 500 W, as well as a polypropylene sink and a water tap. Its working surface height, set at 900 mm, allows for an ergonomic position for the user, whether sitting or standing. Its compact yet spacious design offers an internal working area of 790 × 600 × 870 mm, optimising both safety and comfort.
This chemical fume hood is a reliable solution for any laboratory that wants to guarantee the safety of its operators while maintaining an efficient and ergonomic working environment. Versatile, robust and easy to use, it is an essential piece of equipment for handling chemicals that require effective containment and controlled air extraction.
