Title : Protector XStream

Content : e Protector XStream Laboratory Hood takes containment, safety and energy savings to the extreme. This general chemical, high performance fume hood was independently tested and challenged well beyond the SEFA-1 standards. With a face velocity of 40 fpm and sash fully open, the Protector XStream was subjected to 50 fpm cross drafts, NIH protocol, and tracer gas measurements in the chest of the mannequin. In all scenarios, the Protector XStream allowed 0.00 ppm average level of tracer gas outside the fume hood. Although your safety officer will determine the actual face velocity setting for your laboratory, the ability of this hood to contain under these adverse conditions sets a new standard of safety. Safety is foremost, but energy savings is equally impressive. Although face velocity is a factor, it’s the volumetric rate (CFM) that determines the energy consumption. Operating a 6' Protector XStream at 60 fpm face velocity, with the sash in its fully open position, requires only 690 CFM. Regardless of your desired operating face velocity, the Protector XStream yields the lowest required CFM of any hood.




Title : Protector Premier

Content : Protector Premier Laboratory Hoods incorporate a sleek interior with a molded one-piece fiberglass liner, the signature feature of Labconco’s leading line of fume hoods since 1961. The one-piece liner of specially-formulated, fiberglass-reinforced polyester offers corrosion and fire resistance and easy clean up. Without seams, the interior has fewer points of deterioration for longer life. These hoods are suitable for providing personal protection needed for general chemistry applications involving fumes and vapors. They meet the SEFA-1 standard of a low velocity, high performance hood and may be safely operated as low as 60 fpm. Choose from hoods designed to be used with a remotely located blower or hoods that include a built-in blower — the only high-performance hood with a built-in blower available anywhere. Explosion-proof hoods with built-in blowers are available for laboratories with potentially explosive/flammable atmospheres (Class 1 Div I or II).




Title : Protector XL Benchtop

Content : The Protector XL Benchtop Laboratory Hoods are general chemistry hoods that offer superior design flexibility. They are available in widths from 3 to 16 feet and three depths to meet a variety of installation and application requirements. These hoods incorporate containment-enhancing features allowing them to operate at face velocities as low as 60 fpm and meet the SEFA-1 standard of a low velocity high performance hood.




Title : Protector XStream I-S

Content : The Protector XStream I-S Laboratory Hood takes containment, safety and energy savings to the extreme. With integrated sash position blower controls, this hood was designed for use with Intelli-Sense Multi-Speed Blowers. As the sash is raised or lowered, sensors alert the blower to change speeds to maintain a safe face velocity. That face velocity is displayed on the factory-installed Guardian™ Digital Airflow Monitor for users’ peace of mind.

Title : Protector XL I-S Benchtop

Content : Protector XL I-S Benchtop Laboratory Hoods are general chemistry hoods that offer superior design flexibility. They are available in widths from 3 to 8 feet and two depths to meet a variety of installation and application requirements. Designed for use with Intelli-Sense Multi-Speed Blowers, Protector XL I-S Benchtop Hoods feature integrated sash position blower controls. As the sash is raised or lowered, sensors alert the blower to change speeds to maintain a safe face velocity.
