Could ductless be the smarter choice for your lab?

Ductless fume hoods capture chemical vapours with advanced filtration rather than venting conditioned air outdoors—so you get fast, no-ductwork installation, lower HVAC load, and the freedom to place or relocate units as your needs change. For well-defined applications and known chemicals, modern ductless systems provide robust user protection while avoiding outdoor emissions and building constraints. If you’re aiming for energy savings, scalability across rooms or leased spaces, and rapid project timelines, it’s worth exploring our ductless technology.

Chemical storage cabinets — the essential partner to your fume hood

Keep reagents out of the airstream and under control. Our chemical storage cabinets help you segregate incompatibles (acids/alkalis/solvents), contain spills with integrated sumps, and ventilate or filter when required. Choose corrosion-resistant interiors for acids, spark-safe solutions for flammables, and dedicated pesticide cabinets. Formats include under-bench, tall and wall-mount units with adjustable shelves and clear safety labelling. The result: freed-up hood space, lower HVAC burden, cleaner audits and safer workflows. We’ll help you match capacity, ventilation and materials to your inventory and local requirements.
