The system is engineered with a seamless stainless steel interior and reinforced surfaces to support heavy isotope equipment.


HEMCO released the UniFlow Radioisotope Fume Hood, which is engineered to meet requirements for laboratory work involving radiochemicals, according to a company release.

The fume hood is constructed with a welded one-piece seamless type 304 stainless steel interior fume chamber. All corners are coved to allow for easier cleaning. The work surface is welded to the fume chamber liner and reinforced to support weight loads associated with isotope work, such as lead barriers and equipment.

Standard features of HEMCO’s new fume hood include light-emitting diode lighting and a vertical slide tempered glass sash. The hoods are available in 48-inch, 60-inch, and 72-inch widths.

The units can be outfitted with various accessories based on laboratory requirements. These options include service fixtures, electrical service options, cabinets, tables, and exhaust blowers designed to safely remove hazardous fumes or particulates.
