Esco Pharma’s Glassware Hood (EGH) is a passive cabinet that relies on the facility’s HVAC system to suction vast amount of air through the equipment. 

The EGH reduces the operator’s exposure to hazardous fumes, vapors, and gases by diluting the hazardous vapors using a large amount of air, then drawing it out through the duct of the facility’s exhaust system. 

The inflow of air is utilized to avoid untoward exposure to the operator outside of the hood while the hazardous process is taking place. 

Note: The EGH required airflow volume depends on its intended use and operation. It is critical that the hood be used as it was intended (door open/door closed) in line with the client-specific equipment load and process.

Note: Custom dimensions and specifications can be provided upon client request.

*To be discussed with the client for door specifications.
**Additional outlets require additional electrical supplies.

• What is edge of EGH from other chemical hoods available in the market?

  EGH provides a leading solution by providing a controlled environment for containment of small to large scale designed dedicated equipment for handling of high-risk, flammable, toxic chemicals as it reduces the environment and operator’s exposure to hazardous fumes, vapors, and gases.

• What is the capability of EGH?

  EGH is capable of containing kilo labs equipment set-ups from small laboratory scale to large scale production. EGH can accommodate oversized apparatus and are available in widths up to 16 feet such as bioreactors.

• What is the difference between Esco Glassware Hood (EGH) vs Floor-Mounted Fume Hood (EFF)?

  One common misconception is that Glassware Hoods and Floor-Mounted Fume Hoods are one and the same. See below how they are differentiated:

  
  
  

  Difference of Esco Glassware Hood (EGH) vs Floor-Mounted Fume Hood (EFF)	EGH	EFF
  Application	Enclosure of laboratory chemical reactors for kilo lab or pilot plants set-up.	Tall apparatus, large containers that require increased height area.
  	Operator, product, and environment protection	Operator protection only
  Dimensions	Internal widths are in increments of 0.8 and 1.0 m. More flexible for adjusting dimensions as per client’s request.	Nominal size ranging from 4 to 8 feet only.
  Construction	Stainless Steel 316/304, Halar (ECTFE), electrogalvanized steel with IsocideTM white oven-baked epoxy po wder-coating, Combination	Electrogalvanized steel with Epoxy-polyester hybrid ISOCIDE™ powder coating
  Filtration	Through HVAC system Optional HEPA/ULPA filters, Carbon filters	Ducted Optional filter integration
  Door Design	High durable heavy duty left right sliding doors	Light duty vertical sliding
