Esco Ductless Fume Hoods Esco AscentTM 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, as ductless hoods are independent systems which do not require connection to extraction systems. Esco ductless...

Esco Nanocarb™ Filters Esco’s Nanocarb™ activated carbon filters are constructed in order to ensure maximum filter efficiency, retention capacity and operator protection. Esco’s research scientists and engineers, working in consultation with world-leading authorities on adsorption science, have developed the following set of unique technologies: • Optimized retention capacity (i.e. the total weight of chemicals the filter can retain, usually as a percentage of its own weight) considering that activated carbon may have an increased adsorption capacity by weight, yet poorer overall filtration performance...

Esco Chemical Guide You might have concerns over which filters to choose for specific chemicals, as there are hundreds of different types of activated carbon in the world, each made for different specific applications. Esco's Chemical Guide is a list of most commonly used laboratory chemicals and reagents, arranged in alphabetical order. Each chemical has been thoroughly studied by Esco's research scientists and engineers, and its suitable Nanocarb™ activated carbon filter indicated. Note: Each Esco AscentTM Ductless Fume Hood is delivered with a Chemical Guide. Moderate adsorption, need frequent...

Save Expensive Lab Ventilation Costs and Energy Comparison between Conventional Fume Hood and Ductless Fume Hood Conventional Ducted Hood Ductless Fume Hood (Integrated Fan & Filter) Efficient carbon filtration system means potentially complex ducting systems are not required. External Exhaust Blower Compact integrated fan is sufficient to overcome the pressure drops across carbon filters. Initial Capital Costs No exhaust means conditioned air is not drawn out of the lab. Expensive make-up air system with chiller/ heater and dehumidifier is not required. Net Initial Capital Cost Savings: US$...

Touchpad data entry buttons permit control settings and access to diagnostics, default settings and hierarchical menus. Color coded indicator lamps display green for primary function (fan operation) and blue for secondary function (fluorescent lights and electrical outlet). A graphical interface indicates hood performance. Digital read-out with alpha-numeric display indicates all input, status and alarm functions. All functions can be user activated through touch-pad programming access; see Operations Manual. SentinelTM Microprocessor Control System, Programmable Sentinel™ Microprocessor Control,...

General Applications for Ductless Fume Hoods Education • Esco Ascent ™ Ductless Fume Hoods are useful for secondary and post secondary education, science classes and in laboratories where activated carbon filtration offers safety from selected aerosols and vapors. • From the clinical laboratory to the pathology department, ductless fume hoods offer protection against small quantities of formalin vapors and other chemicals used in histopathology and other processes. • Hoods are easily assembled, portable configured for high visibility to improve classroom participation. • Installation costs are...
