Effects of Modular Ventilation Systems on Internal Air Quality of Flammables Cabinets

11 Jul 2017

Flammable liquid storage cabinets are used in a variety of applications to effectively separate substances with volatile vapors from sources of ignition, as well as protecting personnel. The following application note presents the Air Science Vent-Box as a new type of modular ventilation system, designed to protect personnel from chemical vapors found inside of standalone chemical safety cabinets.

Fumehoods and Biological Safety CabinetsFume hoods and biological safety cabinets are used to provide personnel, sample and environmental protection by limiting exposure to hazardous materials either by venting or enclosing hazardous sample space. Fume hoods include filtered and ductless fume hoods, general ducted fume hoods, laminar flow cabinets and cabinets for powder weighing. There are three classes of biological safety cabinet, dependent on the level of protection provided. Class I provide personnel and environmental protection, class II provide product, personnel and environmental protection. Class III provide the highest level of protection and are designed for use with high-risk biological agents. Other ventilated workspaces for the laboratory include glove boxes, glove bags, anaerobic and hypoxic workstations. Find the best fume hoods and biological safety cabinets in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.VolatilesVolatiles are a group of compounds that have a low boiling point and evaporate at room temperature. Volatiles, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), can be used to determine shelf-life of food samples. GC-MS is typically used to analyze volatiles.Vent-boxSafety
