  1. The Science Behind How Laboratory Fume Hoods Protect Researchers Containment of Hazardous Substances Laboratory fume hoods operate on the principle of containment, effectively capturing and containing hazardous substances released during experiments. Airflow and Ventilation Control Fume hoods rely on a carefully engineered airflow system. The hood creates a negative pressure zone, drawing air and fumes away from the researcher and into the exhaust system. Face Velocity and Safe Working Conditions Face velocity, the rate at which air is drawn into the fume hood, is a critical factor. Maintaining an optimal face velocity ensures efficient containment. Filtering and Purification Many fume hoods are equipped with filters to further enhance safety. These filters capture and neutralize airborne contaminants, providing an additional layer of protection. www.santechlab.com
