Ductless Filtering Fume Hood

Whether you are working with liquids or powders, Erlab's advanced filtration technology will keep you safe.

For over 50 years, Erlab is the trusted brand for safety, expertise in research & development, and design & manufacturing of ductless filtering fume hoods that provide superior filtration to keep you protected during your chemical processes.

Smart Technology: The new Captair Smart ductless filtering fume hoods are designed with a simple and innovative way of communication to let you know the hood is protecting you and in optimal working order. Smart Technology uses Smart-Light Communication to quickly see that the hood is operating safely so you can focus your attention on what is most important: your work.



Superior chemical filtration

For use with acids, bases, and solvents
Erlab's products feature the BE+ filter, the most advanced molecular filtration technology available for ductless filtering fume hoods. Multiple chemical types can be adsorbed at the same time, so you are no longer limited to application-specific filters or the inability to quickly adapt to new lab processes.

Safety is our first priority: Filtration and containment performance comply with the AFNOR NFX 15-211 standard (Class 1 and 2).


For use with fentanyl and unknown powders
Because this is an application that requires the use of hazardous liquids and powders, the filtration used is a combination of dual H14 HEPA filters and a broad-spectrum carbon filter.


For use with particulates
These workstations feature HEPA H14 filters to provide an ISO Class 5 work environment. The HEPA H14 filters guarantee 99.995% filtration efficiency for particles larger than 0.1µm


Activate the power of the Smart technology

Each unit comes with Smart TechnologyTM – an exclusive set of tools that is comprised of smart-light communicationTM, chemical sensors, real-time status, and the eGuard app.

Smart-light communication is a soft band of light on the unit that lets you know the unit is operating safely. The band of light will slowly pulse to let you know if the air flow is compromised, if there is a fan failure, or there it is time to change your filters.
