The LFC Portable Fume Cabinet is a compact, recirculating fume cabinet that has been designed to provide operator safety and ease of use in laboratory applications. Cabinets are supplied with an open base and can be positioned over an existing utility, such as a sink, or supplied with a trolley and removable work surface for portability. 

How LFC Works 

Capture of fumes is achieved by inward airflow at a velocity of > 0.5 m/s and air is moved upward through carbon filters that can be specifically tuned to suit the application. The carbon filters scrub the contaminated air and recirculate clean air within the laboratory. The standard activated carbon filter is suitable for use with a wide range of common laboratory fumes.
