Laboratory Canopy hood

Canopy hoods are ventilation systems specifically designed for laboratory environments. Unlike fume hoods, which fully enclose the workspace, canopy hoods are open-faced enclosures suspended from the ceiling or mounted on walls. Their primary function is to remove:

Heat: Canopy hoods are ideal for venting heat generated by large equipment like ovens, autoclaves, and heat baths.
Steam: They effectively remove steam produced during various laboratory procedures.

Odors: Noxious or unpleasant odors can be safely vented out of the laboratory with a canopy hood.
Non-toxic Fumes: Canopy hoods can handle low vapor density fumes that are not hazardous.

Here’s a breakdown of the key benefits they provide:

Protects the Environment: By venting out fumes and heat, canopy hoods prevent them from contaminating the lab environment and affecting other experiments or personnel.
Protects Products: They safeguard sensitive experiments or products from exposure to heat, steam, or odors.

Protects People: Canopy hoods help maintain good air quality by removing non-toxic fumes and keeping them away from researchers.

Metrolabs and Canopy Hoods

While I cannot confirm details about Metrolabs’ specific designs, most manufacturers offer variations on the following:

Material: Canopy hoods are typically made from stainless steel for durability and ease of cleaning.
Size: They come in various sizes to accommodate different workstations and equipment.

Mounting: Options include wall-mounted or ceiling-suspended for flexible installation.
Airflow: Adjustable airflow allows for optimal capture of fumes and heat depending on the application.

Lights: Some models may have built-in lights to compensate for the blockage caused by the hood’s structure.

Canopy hoods are not suitable for handling hazardous chemicals. For work with toxic or carcinogenic materials, a fume hood with a sash enclosure is required to ensure user safety.

Galvanized Iron sheet with powder coted Canopy hoods are designed to collect and exhaust corrosive vapors, heat, steam, and odors when mounted over
areas with water baths, hot plates, or portable equipment.
Standard color: Lab White

Stainless Steel Canopy hoods are constructed of type 304 stainless steel and designed to exhaust heat, steam when mounted over water baths, hot plates, or portable equipment.
