Down with fumes in laboratories

Labcaire Systems Ltd

Containment of fumes is vital for any laboratory complying with Health and Safety procedures and COSHH regulations.

Labcaire's latest range of Downflow workstations and benches are easy to install, simple to use and offer unrivalled levels of worksurface level operator protection for many applications.

The Downflow workstations achieve fume containment by a down draught flow of air through the work surface followed by passage through state-of-the-art carbon filtering. This means all fumes are handled inside the unit without the need for external ductwork. In addition to this there are no front screens to hinder work accessibility making the workstations ideal for industry, forensic science, pathology laboratories and many other applications.

Standard downflow units are available in four different sizes ranging from 1 to 2 metres or several units can be joined together to form a continuous run of working area. Models are available with ventilated sinks, large working areas, wash down facilities, formalin dispensing stations and almost any option you would care to think of.

If a standard model is not quite what you require, then Labcaire’s team of qualified engineers can design and manufacture a cost-effective bespoke system just for your needs. Over 50% of Labcaire`s customers need something a little bit different, it is therefore important to be able to offer exactly what they need. Recent specific requests include benches that are height adjustable and for systems to be manufactured entirely from stainless steel.
