When it comes to furnishing research labs with their necessary ventilation equipment, it can sometimes feel like a "zero-sum-game" trying to balance system performance and safety with cost and convenience. With this balancing act in mind, below we will do a brief comparison of ducted vs ductless fume hoods for your research lab space.

Laboratories are becoming increasingly necessary as more and more products require the controlled conditions that only labs can provide. For the purposes of advanced manufacturing, every process from research, to testing, to development, to cleaning must be conducted with precision and accuracy.
Within these environments, lab fume hoods serve as an integral safety feature to help maintain facility air quality. While fume hoods are typically the first line of defense against hazardous vapors in these settings, they're by no means the only defense.
