Specialized Capture Hoods for Research Laboratories
Our portable laboratory capture hoods are designed to provide laboratories with the flexibility and efficiency needed to maintain a safe environment while conducting specialized tasks. Whether dealing with hazardous chemicals, fumes, or particulate matter, our hoods offer a reliable and cost-effective solution. Here’s how they stand out in delivering value:
Tailored for Various Lab Applications
Our capture hoods are highly versatile and suitable for various laboratory tasks. Our hoods offer targeted protection, whether handling solvents, weighing powders, conducting tissue fixation with formaldehyde, or performing DNA/RNA extraction. They’re also ideal for processes like drug formulation, anesthesia gas use during surgery, and soldering, making them a comprehensive tool for labs requiring effective contaminant control across multiple applications.
Where Ventonamics Capture Hoods help in rodent work
- Anesthesia & surgery (isoflurane, electrocautery smoke): Capture waste gas and smoke at the source.
- Cage changing & bedding handling: Reduce dander, dust, and odor.
- Perfusion, necropsy, tissue work (formalin/solvents): Control vapors at the bench.
- Odor control during cleaning/disinfection: Pull off-gassing away from breathing zones.
Enhanced Worker Protection
The primary benefit of our portable capture hoods is the direct protection they offer to lab personnel. If inhaled, harmful fumes, vapors, and dust can cause serious health risks. By capturing these contaminants right at the source, our hoods create a safer working environment, reducing exposure to toxic chemicals and airborne particles. This prevents acute symptoms, like dizziness or irritation, and guards against long-term health problems such as respiratory issues.
Mobility and Flexibility
Unlike fixed ventilation systems, our capture hoods are designed to be portable. They can be easily moved between workstations, offering flexibility for labs with constantly changing setups. This saves you time and money, as Our capture hoods are designed to be portable, unlike fixed ventilation systems. They can be easily moved between workstations, offering flexibility for labs with constantly changing setups. This saves you time and money; you don’t need to invest in multiple fixed systems. Whether you need to manage fumes from solvent handling in one area or control powder dust in another, our hoods are lightweight and easy to position wherever needed.

Cost-Effective Ventilation Solution
Installing a permanent exhaust system in a lab can be prohibitively expensive in installation and maintenance. Our portable capture hoods provide a cost-effective alternative. They can be quickly connected to existing local exhaust points or paired with separate filtration systems, requiring minimal setup and operational costs. Our hoods are affordable upfront and reduce long-term energy costs by requiring less airflow than traditional, large-scale systems.
Quick and Simple Setup
Our capture hoods are designed with ease of use in mind. They can be connected to various local exhaust terminals, such as building exhaust drops, making them convenient for different lab layouts. Setup is fast, allowing your team to get to work without unnecessary delays. This is especially beneficial for labs that frequently change workflows, as our hoods can be repositioned with minimal effort, providing immediate protection where needed.
Adaptable and Efficient for Different Contaminants
Our capture hoods are engineered to handle a wide range of contaminants. From volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released during solvent handling to particulate matter from powder weighing, our hoods capture harmful substances before they can spread through the lab. This ensures a cleaner, safer environment for lab staff while maintaining the integrity of sensitive processes.
Improved Compliance with Safety Regulations
Our portable capture hoods help labs comply with important safety regulations, including OSHA standards for exposure to hazardous chemicals. By effectively controlling contaminants at their source, our hoods reduce the risk of fines or violations, keeping your lab in line with health and safety guidelines. Investing in our hoods ensures that your workplace remains a safe and compliant environment for all laboratory personnel.
