Overview
Air Science builds the Purair BASIC as a recirculating hood made of a control head and a stainless steel enclosure. Air is drawn through a filter and sent back out, so no ductwork is needed, and LED lighting illuminates the work area.
Skipping ductwork makes it easier to place in a small lab, and touch controls and lighting come built in. Planning must allow for the filter, since the right main filter must be added, and the listing gives no airflow or weight data.
Who it's for
Laboratories that cannot install ductwork and work with small volumes of chemicals. Work that needs ducted exhaust or a stated airflow rating needs a different style of hood.
Pros and cons
- No ductwork required
- Built in LED lighting
- Stainless steel enclosure
- Filters sold separately
- Airflow rating unstated
Performance notes
A recirculating hood pulls air across the work area and through a filter before returning it to the room, so protection depends on the filter matching the substances in use. A filter must be installed before use, and the listing does not name the chemicals it covers.
