Ductless Containment Hoods for Laboratories
Sentry Air Systems’ Ductless Containment Hoods, also known as Fume Hoods, are designed specifically for powder containment applications, such as, powder weighing, capsule filling (tablet encapsulation), compounding creams and a variety of other processes that require containment and filtration. This hood utilizes proper airflow and filtration of hazardous powders, dust and fumes to ensure a safe working environment and protect users from the adverse effects of inhalation.
Ductless Containment Hoods help pharmacists and professionals safely compound, measure and weigh prescription dosages. SAS Containment Hoods provide users complete access to the applications and apparatuses used without the risk of contamination.
Due to serious health risks associated with exposure to hormones and powders involved in pharmaceutical compounding, respiratory precautions should be taken. Pharmaceutical compounding equipment manufactured by SAS utilizes a powerful fan and filtration system that assists in pulling harmful contaminants away from the operator’s breathing zone and directly into the HEPA filter, which purifies the air and redistributes it back into the room as clean air.
Key Advantages of Ductless Containment Hoods when weighing your options to protect your respiratory breathing zone from pharmaceutical hazards include:
- A safer, healthier, breathing zone
- Reduces exposure to harmful hormones and powders
