Esco Ductless Fume Hoods
Esco Ascent Ductless Fume Hoods provide protection to both laboratory personnel and the environment from toxic fumes and are quickly becoming a viable alternative to conventional fume hoods. Unlike conventional fume hoods, these hoods filter out chemical fumes and recycle air directly back to the laboratory, providing energy savings, personnel and environmental protection, convenience as you do not have to deal with complicated ducting systems, and mobility, since ductless hoods are independent systems which do not require connection to extraction systems.
