The world's best fume hoods 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 an overall perspective. We must test all components to verify that they execute as instructed. Surprisingly, many fume hoods around the world, even in Europe and the United States, can not operate safely. But the only sure way is to test them in the laboratory where they are installed.

What happens when the fume hood doesn't work properly? The function of the fume hood is to capture, contain, dilute and discharge pollutants. When the fume hood cannot operate normally, the pollutants will leak, which means that the pollutants overflow into the laboratory. This is harmful to health and dangerous.

ASHRAE 110 test shows whether pollutants overflow 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 laboratory or you suspect there is something wrong with the fume hood, you need to test.
