Fume Hoods

The state-of-the-art fume hoods in the Monash Pharmacy labs enable the safe handling of harmful vapours and volatile chemicals for pharmaceutical chemistry, pharmaceutical biology, and pharmaceutics research and teaching activities. These specialised ventilation devices utilise constant airflow to capture and remove fumes, preventing exposure while allowing clear visibility of ongoing experiments. With adjustable sashes, automatic flow alarms and sensors, robust construction resistant to acids/solvents, and fire suppression features, the fume hoods foster productive lab work compliant with the most stringent safety standards. Additional accessories such as base cabinets, light fixtures and service fixtures integrate seamlessly with the hoods to enable proper chemical storage and utility access. By facilitating safe usage of the diverse organic solvents, acids, and chemical reagents essential across experiments, the advanced fume hoods are indispensable to impactful drug discovery, delivery system development, pre-formulation research and other cutting-edge projects undertaken in each research category at Monash.
