Hoods and Bio-Safety Cabinets
At MIDSCI, we provide a wide range of hoods designed to safeguard your team and workspace when working with hazardous fumes, vapors, and particulates. As a critical engineering control in any research laboratory, our laboratory hoods ensure proper airflow and containment, protecting both personnel and experiments from contaminants while maintaining compliance with ANSI, ASHRAE, and SEFA safety standards.
Whether you need compact benchtop enclosures, ductless hoods, or large walk-in configurations, MIDSCI offers flexible solutions for academic, industrial, and other settings.
Types of Hoods Available
We offer a full spectrum of hood solutions tailored to your unique applications and safety requirements:
Ducted Hoods
Connect directly to a building’s ventilation system and ductwork for effective removal of hazardous chemicals and vapors.
Ductless Hoods
Equipped with advanced filtration systems that recirculate clean air back into the lab, ideal for labs without permanent HVAC integration.
Chemical Hoods
Designed for working with corrosive, flammable, or other hazardous substances, featuring baffles and optimized face velocity for maximum safety.
Perchloric Acid Hoods
Specialized wash-down systems safely manage perchloric acid fumes and byproducts.
Radioisotope and Biosafety Cabinets
Incorporate HEPA air filtration for enhanced protection when handling radioisotopes or biological samples in cleanroom environments.
Variable Air Volume (VAV) Systems
Maintain consistent face velocity by automatically adjusting airflow based on sash height, improving safety and energy efficiency.
Walk-In Hoods
Large-scale solutions designed to accommodate bulky equipment and high-volume processes.
