I saw this post from Esco Fume Hood's facebook account and it pretty much summarizes what i want to tell you about choosing the right fume hood for your intended application. As you see, there are a multitude of things we can do with our fume hood but that doesn't mean we can just use any fume hood for any chemical analysis you desire. We also need to do the match-making game, ensuring that we perform the analysis inside the right fume hood or else it might end up you compromising your own or everyone's safety. Again, photos are not mine and were lifted from Esco Fume Hood's facebook account.
Laboratory fume hoods serve to control exposure to toxic, offensive or flammable vapors, gases and aerosols. Fume hoods are the primary method of exposure control in the laboratory. The laboratory fume hood is a type of local exhaust ventilation system (engineering control). A typical fume hood is a cabinet with a moveable front sash (window) made out of safety glass. A properly used and properly functioning fume hood exhausts hazardous gases, dusts, mists, and vapors from a confined location and helps protect workers from inhalation exposure.
