Ductless Fume Hoods
WHAT’S A DUCTLESS FUME HOOD?
A ductless fume hood is contained ventilation equipment or working space that filters out chemical airborne materials and recycles them back to the working environment as breathable air. It uses activated carbon filters to clean the fumes. Ductless fume hoods usually have a frontal airflow to get the air out at a controlled rate to prevent harmful gases from going out of the workstation.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
There are two filters in a ductless fume hood – the pre-filter and the main filter. Both of them work to remove the contaminants in the fumes. It starts with the ambient air going into the ventilation hood with the gases or vapours produced during the laboratory work. The air in the hood goes through the pre-filter, where some of the impurities are sifted.
Once it has gone through the pre-filter, it goes through the main filters, where other particulates are thoroughly removed. Then, the air goes out from the main filter to the workstation as breathable air.
COMMON APPLICATIONS
Ductless fume hoods are used in various fields. Some of the most common applications are the following:
- Life Sciences
- Forensics, Fingerprinting and DNA
- Educational Purposes
- Clinics and Hospitals
- Dental Laboratory
- Cleanrooms
- 3D Printing
- Archaeology
- Glass Manufacturing
- Mycology
- Soldering
- Pharmaceutical
- Art Restoration
- Production of Glues, Paints, and Solvents

Laminar Clean Bench
TopAir’s advanced Forensic Evidence Drying Hood protects wet or damp evidence from detrimental factors such as potential cross contamination and airborne pathogens.
The hood also creates an effective shield for staff, preventing the operators from being exposed to harmful blood-borne pathogens and harmful bacteria or viruses.
The unit’s UV light performs additional disinfection of the Hood’s interior between sessions. This prevents cross contamination and ensures the integrity of samples for the purpose of DNA testing.
The unit is designed to clean the incoming air streams through pre-filtration and then filter the Hood exhaust air using HEPA filtration.
TopAir can customize the ductless evidence drying Hoods to meet customer requirements.

Cyanoacrylate Fuming Chambers
TopAir’s Cyanoacrylate Fuming Chambers are used to develop latent prints from non-porous surfaces in a safe, controlled environment.
Cyanoacrylate is placed inside the chamber while evidence is easily positioned using the adjustable hanging rods. Starting the cycle triggers the automated system to control the hotplate, humidity, door lock, internal circulation fan and purge cycle.
Its recirculatory design enables the system to operate and setup with no ducting required.
The cyanoacrylate vapors are filtered by a carbon filter. This ensures that no dangerous substances are exhausted in to the atmosphere surrounding the laboratory. Its ductless construction also allows the unit to be easily moved and transported.

VAV System - Auto Air Velocity Control System
TopAir’s advanced VAV system measures the product’s air velocity using a high quality sensor, and adjusts the air velocity speed to the relevant standard. The system enables maximal energy savings, by flexibly adjusting the fan speed (high/low) to changing needs. Further savings are enabled in the area of air conditioning, as the airflow from the room is reduced when the fan operates at a lower speed. This also reduces the fume cupboard’s noise level.
The system keeps the user updated as to the airflow speed at all times and provides alerts on deviations from the required speed to prevent hazardous situations.
TopAir’s VAV System introduces an entirely new concept for intelligent operation of fume cabinets. As a complete solution, all its components are already integrated, configured and programmed – a true plug-and-play system. Rather than separately purchasing a control system, touch screen and frequency inverter, and employing technicians to integrate and install each component, the VAV System offers the customer a full – and much more cost-effective – solution.
The VAV System can be used to renovate an existing fume cabinet, or can be installed in a new fume cabinet. In both cases, it upgrades the fume cabinet into a high-end intelligent system.
The VAV System comprises:
A touch screen including visual and audio indicators for alerts, as well as a mute button.
A unit including sensors and power supply for the screen.
VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) which controls the frequency and voltage supplied to the motor.
Made in the USA, the VAV System is a highly reliable and user-friendly system for setup and use.
The system can be installed in research labs, healthcare facilities, life science companies, universities, and more.
