The Pol-Lab Q-Dynamic DSM is a series of fume cupboards with an all-steel structure that avoids wood-based materials, making it easy to adapt to non-combustibility requirements while representing the highest global quality standard with unparalleled ergonomics and a modern look. Available in a range of standard sizes with 900 mm top height, lowered top or no top, and optional side-wall glazing, the cupboards offer a wide range of top and lining materials, additional options and replaceable media panels so they can be adapted to specific user requirements. The slit-designed ventilation system, together with the aerodynamically shaped top and side-panel edges, ensures even flow through the working chamber and effective capture of gases, dust and vapors both lighter and heavier than air, with a standard EN-14175-compliant controller featuring an air-flow sensor plus two 230V sockets, a sink and two cold-water spouts.

Key features:

• All-steel, non-combustible construction with modern ergonomic design

• Standard, lowered or no-top configurations with optional glazed side walls

• Slit ventilation system with aerodynamic edges for even, effective air capture

• EN-14175-compliant controller with integrated air-flow sensor

• Standard equipment includes two 230V sockets, sink and two cold-water spouts

Typical applications:

• Laboratories requiring non-combustible fume cupboard construction

• Facilities needing customizable media panels and worktop materials

• Chemistry laboratories requiring certified EN-14175 fume extraction

The Pol-Lab Q-Optimal DSL is a series of laminated fume cupboards built on a solid steel-profile frame, offering a great cost-effectiveness ratio for laboratories that do not require non-combustible construction. It is available in a wide range of versions and sizes, including standard tops at 900 mm height, lowered tops or no top for low rooms, as well as double-sided and glazed-side-wall configurations, with non-standard orders adapted to specific user requirements. Many types of finishes and configurations, together with ease of modification and installation of additional equipment, ensure all requirements expected of a fume cupboard in a modern laboratory are met.

Key features:

• Laminated construction on a solid steel-profile frame

• Standard, lowered or no-top configurations for different room heights

• Double-sided and glazed-side-wall versions available

• Slotted ventilation system for even airflow through the whole chamber

• Effective capture of gases, dusts and vapors both lighter and heavier than air

Typical applications:

• General chemistry laboratories not requiring non-combustible construction

• Educational and research laboratories seeking a cost-effective fume cupboard

• Facilities needing configurable, easily modifiable fume extraction

The Pol-Lab round fume hood was created in response to demand from universities for a space to safely conduct experiments in the chemistry laboratory while providing a preview of the experiment to a laboratory group of about 15 students. Its distinctive round shape gives an entire class a clear, unobstructed view of demonstrations being carried out inside the chamber, while still delivering the containment and extraction performance expected of a Pol-Lab fume hood. This makes it particularly suited to teaching environments where safety and visibility must be combined for group demonstrations.

Key features:

• Distinctive round shape allowing full visibility for a group of viewers

• Designed specifically for teaching and demonstration purposes

• Effective fume extraction and containment for chemistry experiments

• Suitable for laboratory groups of approximately 15 students

• Part of the Pol-Lab fume hood range built to EN 14175 principles

Typical applications:

• University teaching laboratories running group demonstrations

• Chemistry departments needing visible, safe experiment presentation

• Educational institutions combining safety with classroom visibility

The Pol-Lab Table-Top Fume Hood SQ-L is designed to protect laboratory personnel against toxic, foul-smelling fumes, gases and dust emitted during work with aggressive chemical substances (except explosive substances such as ether with hydrofluoride or silicofluoride compounds), using minimal space and resources. Its frame is high-quality, epoxy-powder-coated steel with a MAX RESISTANCE phenolic-resin worktop, VSG safety-glass side walls in an anodized aluminum frame, and a 20 mm foamed-PVC rear wall, with a single ceiling-mounted fume extractor and deflector ensuring uniform air flow throughout the chamber. The tempered-glass sliding window moves both horizontally and vertically via a counterweight on steel cables for easy access and clean extractors, IP44-rated lighting sits outside the working chamber, and a roof hatch provides safe discharge of any shock wave from an in-chamber explosion.

Key features:

• Epoxy-powder-coated steel frame with MAX RESISTANCE phenolic-resin worktop

• VSG safety-glass side walls and 20 mm foamed-PVC rear wall

• Single ceiling-mounted extractor with deflector for uniform air flow

• Tempered-glass sliding window movable horizontally and vertically

• IP44-rated external lighting and roof hatch for shock-wave discharge

Typical applications:

• Less demanding laboratory work with aggressive chemical substances

• Space- and resource-constrained laboratories needing basic containment

• Table-top setups where full-size fume cupboards are not required

The Pol-Lab Fume Hood DMS-12.00 NS R is adapted for people with disabilities, featuring an electrically adjustable top height so the working level can be tailored to the user, while protecting laboratory personnel against toxic or foul-smelling fumes, gases and ashes arising from work with aggressive and corrosive substances (excluding explosive substances such as ether with hydrogen fluoride or hydrogen silicon compounds). The fume hood is made entirely of powder-coated steel, with an extraction system placed in the upper part of the working chamber and perforated on the rear wall to ensure uniform air flow throughout the chamber. It is not standardly fitted with sinks or taps — utilities are installed on a supporting frame or table beneath the chamber — and, as standard, the window and its frame are electrically raised.

Key features:

• Electrically adjustable top height for accessible, disabled-friendly use

• Entirely powder-coated steel construction

• Perforated rear-wall extraction system for uniform air flow

• Electrically raised window and frame as standard

• Optional sinks and taps installed on supporting frame or table

Typical applications:

• Laboratories requiring accessible fume-hood workstations

• Work with aggressive and corrosive, non-explosive substances

• Institutions supporting inclusive laboratory design
