The best fume hoods in the world will not work unless they are connected to a properly designed laboratory ventilation system. The ventilation system is very complex. Therefore, to know whether the fume hood works normally, we must look at it from the overall point of view. We have to test all the components to verify that they follow the instructions. Surprisingly, many fume hoods around the world, even in Europe and the United States, do not operate safely. But the only way to be sure is to test them in the lab where they are installed.

 

What happens when the fume hood can't work normally? The function of fume hood is to capture, contain, dilute and discharge pollutants. When the fume hood can't work normally, pollutants will leak, which means that pollutants will spill into the laboratory. It's bad for health and dangerous.

 

ASHRAE 110 tests show whether pollutants have spilled into the laboratory through a series of data. The test will let you know if there is a problem.

 

If you smell chemicals in the lab or you suspect there is something wrong with the fume hood, you need to test it.
