Chemical storage cabinets
Labman Instruments is official distributor for Erlab and Exacta ductless and ducted chemical storage cabinets for Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg.
Erlab and ductless filtering storage cabinets
Erlab is the pioneer and global market leader in ductless filtration technology, offering advanced solutions for safe chemical storage without external ducting.
Ductless storage cabinets provide a sustainable and efficient alternative to traditional vented chemical storage units. Instead of exhausting contaminated air through the building’s ventilation system, these cabinets use activated carbon and/or HEPA filtration to capture hazardous vapors internally, ensuring clean air recirculation within the lab.
The main advantages of ductless storage cabinets include:
✅ Energy savings – No loss of temperature-conditioned air, avoiding thousands of euros in annual HVAC energy costs per cabinet
✅ Environmental protection – No toxic chemical emissions released into the atmosphere
✅ Greater scalability – Storage capacity is no longer limited by the lab’s ventilation infrastructure
✅ Maximum flexibility – No fixed connection needed to ventilation systems, making relocation or reconfiguration quick and easy
✅ Stable containment performance – Consistent airflow and filtration efficiency, ideal for safe, pressure-stable chemical storage

Frequently asked questions
What is a chemical storage cabinet?
A chemical storage cabinet is a specialized enclosure designed to safely store hazardous chemicals in laboratories, preventing leaks, spills, and exposure. Chemical cabinets can be ventilated or non-ventilated, depending on the stored substances and safety requirements.
Why is proper chemical storage important in a laboratory?
Proper chemical storage protects laboratory personnel from exposure to hazardous fumes, prevents chemical reactions between incompatible substances, and ensures compliance with health and safety regulations. It also extends the shelf life of chemicals and minimizes environmental risks.
What chemicals require a ventilated storage cabinet?
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), corrosive acids, flammable solvents, and toxic vapors typically require a ventilated storage cabinet. Proper ventilation helps prevent harmful vapors from accumulating inside the cabinet and the laboratory environment
How do I choose between a ducted and a ductless chemical storage cabinet?
Choosing between a ducted and a ductless chemical storage cabinet depends on the types and quantities of chemicals you store, the laboratory ventilation design, maintenance preferences, and installation constraints. Ducted cabinets are preferred for high volumes and aggressive vapors; ductless cabinets are suitable for flexibility and filtered recirculation. Ductless filtering storage cabinets can help your laboratory reduce energy consumption and environmental impact.
How does a ductless chemical storage cabinet work?
A ductless chemical storage cabinet uses a filtration system, typically activated carbon or molecular filters, to capture and neutralize hazardous vapors inside the cabinet. Clean air is then recirculated back into the laboratory, eliminating the need for external ductwork and reducing air laboratory air consumption.
How often should filters be replaced in a ductless chemical cabinet?
Filter replacement in a ductless chemical cabinet typically occurs every 12 to 24 months, depending on the chemical types, usage intensity, and manufacturer’s recommendations. Regular monitoring and periodic filter saturation tests are essential for maintaining safety.
Can chemicals be stored inside a fume hood?
Generally, large volumes of chemicals should not be stored inside a fume hood, as this can disrupt airflow patterns and reduce the fume hood’s effectiveness. Dedicated under-bench storage or ventilated cabinets are better solutions.
What fire resistance ratings are available for Exacta chemical storage cabinets?
Exacta offers cabinets certified to EN 14470‑1 Type 30 and Type 90, meaning they maintain safe internal temperatures for at least 30 or 90 minutes during fire events.
Can Exacta cabinets handle storage of both acids and flammable liquids?
Yes—Exacta’s range includes specialized models with sealed partitions or separate configurations for acid storage and flammable storage, minimizing cross-contamination and hazard risk.
Do these cabinets offer built-in spill containment?
Absolutely. Exacta designs feature integrated spill trays and sump pallets that capture leaks, helping you comply with spill retention regulations.
