Laboratory fume hood

The round fume cupboard, produced by Poll Lab, was created in response to universities’ demand for the environment where experiments could be conducted safely within a chemical laboratory additionally ensuring the preview of the experiments’ course for a group of about 15 students. With a classic design of a fume cupboard it is virtually impossible to ensure a proper insight into a conducted experiment for everybody, even though glass side walls are applied. In a group of 15 people the visibility is not satisfactory for every observer due to a fume cupboard’s opaque corners. People standing behind the conductor of the experiment make it difficult for him/her to move around the lab or reach cabinets. Viewers standing in front of the front window are vulnerable to being injured in case of an explosion (when the window is open). In the case of the round fume cupboard an identical group of 15 people have a full insight into what is taking place inside the fume cupboard. Two people in charge are provided with working space and the way to tables/cabinets situated behind them.
