The Protector XStream Laboratory Hood takes containment, safety and energy savings to the extreme. This general chemical, high performance fume hood was independently tested and challenged well beyond the SEFA-1 standards. With a face velocity of 40 fpm and sash fully open, the Protector XStream was subjected to 50 fpm cross drafts, NIH protocol, and tracer gas measurements in the chest of the mannequin. In all scenarios, the Protector XStream allowed 0.00 ppm average level of tracer gas outside the fume hood. Although your safety officer will determine the actual face velocity setting for your laboratory, the ability of this hood to contain under these adverse conditions sets a new standard of safety. Safety is foremost, but energy savings is equally impressive. Although face velocity is a factor, it’s the volumetric rate (CFM) that determines the energy consumption. Operating a 6' Protector XStream at 60 fpm face velocity, with the sash in its fully open position, requires only 690 CFM. Regardless of your desired operating face velocity, the Protector XStream yields the lowest required CFM of any hood.

Protector Premier Laboratory Hoods incorporate a sleek interior with a molded one-piece fiberglass liner, the signature feature of Labconco’s leading line of fume hoods since 1961. The one-piece liner of specially-formulated, fiberglass-reinforced polyester offers corrosion and fire resistance and easy clean up. Without seams, the interior has fewer points of deterioration for longer life. These hoods are suitable for providing personal protection needed for general chemistry applications involving fumes and vapors. They meet the SEFA-1 standard of a low velocity, high performance hood and may be safely operated as low as 60 fpm. Choose from hoods designed to be used with a remotely-located blower or hoods that include a built-in blower — the only high performance hood with built-in blower available anywhere. Explosion-proof hoods with built-in blower are available for laboratories with potentially explosive/flammable atmospheres (Class 1 Div I or II)

The Protector XL Benchtop Laboratory Hoods are general chemistry hoods that offer superior design flexibility. They are available in widths from 3 to 16 feet and three depths to meet a variety of installation and application requirements. These hoods incorporate containment-enhancing features allowing them to operate at face velocities as low as 60 fpm and meet the SEFA-1 standard of a low velocity high performance hood

The Protector XStream I-S Laboratory Hood takes containment, safety and energy savings to the extreme. With integrated sash position blower controls, this hood was designed for use with Intelli-Sense Multi-Speed Blowers. As the sash is raised or lowered, sensors alert the blower to change speeds to maintain a safe face velocity. That face velocity is displayed on the factory-installed Guardian™ Digital Airflow Monitor for users’ peace of mind.

The Protector Echo Filtered Fume Hood requires no ducting and is available in 4', 5', 6' and 8' widths. Neutrodine® Unisorb Filtration Technology offers comprehensive molecular filtration. eGuard® communication software offers real-time monitoring on the user’s phone or computer. From a remote location, data such as usage authorization, filter saturation detection, sash position and temperature may be observed and managed. Erlab-proven Neutrodine® Unisorb Filters are the heart of GFH Filtration Technology. Benchtop models include a fiberglass panelized liner with optional side windows, or with optional side and back windows. Models are available for carbon-only, carbon with acid sensor, carbon with formaldehyde sensor, or HEPA-only filtration. Filters are sold separately. To determine if your application is right for a Protector Echo, please request a Chemical Assessment from a Labconco specialist who can recommend the appropriate enclosure for your application

Protector XL Floor-Mounted Laboratory Hoods (sometimes called Walk-In Hoods) accommodate laboratory procedures that require oversized equipment or maximum working height. Models with vertical-rising sashes meet the SEFA-1 standard of a low velocity high performance hood and may be operated as low as 60 fpm. Models with horizontal-sliding sashes have a loading height of 73.5” (186.7 cm), suitable for applications requiring tall distillation racks, extraction apparatus or large drums

Protector PVC Acid Digestion Laboratory Hoods feature washdown systems, integral work surfaces and drainage troughs so that they may be thoroughly rinsed after each use. Their liners of Type 1 unplasticized polyvinyl chloride are designed to withstand reaction from strong acid. These hoods feature Lexan® polycarbonate sashes, which are recommended for applications involving the use of acids including hydrofluoric acid but not perchloric acid. The Lexan material does not fog or etch when exposed to hydrofluoric fumes.

Protector PVC Perchloric Acid Laboratory Hoods feature washdown systems, integral work surfaces and drainage troughs so that they may be thoroughly rinsed after each use to prevent the accumulation of potentially reactive perchloric salts.
