Protector® Premier® Laboratory Hoods incorporate a sleek interior with a molded one-piece fiberglass liner, the signature feature of Labconco’s leading line of fume hoods since 1961. The one-piece liner of specially-formulated, fiberglass-reinforced polyester offers corrosion and fire resistance and easy clean up. Without seams, the interior has fewer points of deterioration for longer life.
Like the Protector XStream Hoods, Protector Premier Hoods incorporate many containment-enhancing features including Clean-Sweep™ technology and the Eco-Foil™ air foil. Testing confirms the Protector Premier Hood meets the SEFA-1 standard of a low velocity, high performance hood and may be operated as low as 60 fpm. These hoods are offered for use with a remotely-located blower or with a built-in blower — the only high performance hood with built-in blower available anywhere.
