Thermo Fisher Scientific launches energy efficient fume hoods

Published: 7-Apr-2009
Containment Manufacturing

Thermo Fisher Scientific’s Hamilton Infinity fume hoods are designed to address requirements for safety, energy efficiency and aesthetics. With low-voltage LED lighting, minimal exhaust static pressure, and variable air volume (VAV) compatibility to minimise exhaust air when the sash is down, the fume hoods provide energy efficient hazard containment. A full-height slanted front viewing area and side viewing panels enable simple and easy monitoring of samples, while a flush sill enhances safety by eliminating possible glassware tripping hazards.

In addition, the Hamilton AutoSash technology maximises laboratory safety by ensuring correct sash positioning. An extra trough is positioned at the front of the unit to catch any spills. The optional GreenFumeHood technology uses Neutrodine filters in place of traditional carbon filters to eliminate emissions. Complete user assurance and filter replacement is provided through the Microsoft gGuard Communications package, which offers real-time remote management capabilities. www.thermo.com/hamilton
