Laboratory spot extractors

Flexible extraction arms that capture fumes, vapours and odours at the source, at benches and above instruments.

Overview

Extraction exactly where it is needed

Not every task needs a full fume hood. Where small amounts of fumes, vapours or odours are released at a fixed point, such as above an instrument, a hot plate or a sample preparation area, a spot extractor captures them right where they are released.

Articulated arms can be positioned close to the source and moved out of the way when not needed. They connect to the laboratory exhaust and are planned together with the bench layout.

For work with highly hazardous substances, a fume hood remains the appropriate control. Spot extractors complement fume hoods rather than replace them.

Key features

Local extraction for benches and instruments

Capture at the source

Contaminants are drawn away close to where they are released.

Articulated arm

Joints let the capture hood be positioned precisely and parked when not in use.

For benches and instruments

Useful above instruments, sample preparation and small heating tasks.

Connected to the exhaust

Planned together with the laboratory exhaust and other extraction points.

Technical information

Configured for your benches

Arm length, mounting position and the number of extraction points depend on your benches, instruments and exhaust. Share your layout and we will recommend a configuration.

Spot extractors suit small, localised releases of fumes, vapours or odours at a known point. For hazardous chemicals or procedures that need full enclosure, use a fume hood.

Depending on the layout, extraction arms can be mounted on a wall, the ceiling or a bench, as close as practical to the point where fumes are released.
