Erlab Captair 321 Smart Ductless Fume Hood with Configurable Filtration and Airflow Monitoring

The Erlab Captair 321 Smart Ductless Fume Hood is a compact 30-inch wide benchtop fume hood designed for safe containment of chemical vapors and particulates via configurable filtration technology. It integrates an Airflow meter that maintains air face velocity between 0.4 and 0.6 m/s, ensuring optimal containment performance. The system features a visual and audible flow monitor warning for fan failure, filter saturation, or scheduled working time exceedance, critical for maintaining laboratory safety and operational reliability.

Key technical specifications include:

The hood’s filtration system combines HEPA filters for particle capture with an activated carbon AS filter for effective organic vapor removal, making it versatile for volatile chemical handling, organic compound containment, and applications requiring clean air, such as PCR enclosures and molecular diagnostics workflows. The phenolic resin work surface provides robust chemical and moisture resistance, ideal for bioprocessing and biotechnology research environments requiring contamination control during gene editing or synthetic biology experiments.

Designed without ductwork, the Captair 321 Smart supports flexible placement in laboratory settings, reducing installation complexity and energy consumption while maintaining high filtration efficiency. Its ergonomically slanted thick acrylic viewing panels support comfortable extended use during biomedical engineering or biomanufacturing tasks.

This ductless fume hood is widely adopted in labs focused on clinical diagnostics, cell imaging sample preparation, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines, where essential containment and air quality are critical. Easy filter replacement and user-friendly controls enhance operational efficiency for researchers and lab professionals.

The Erlab Captair 321 Smart ensures compliance with biosafety standards, providing a reliable solution for safe chemical vapor and particulate containment in modern research and biotechnology laboratories.
