Compact point-source extraction for the laboratory bench
Benchtop Exhaust Hoods
Not every bench needs a full fume hood. A benchtop exhaust hood — desktop exhaust hood, canopy hood for overhead service — captures the fume at its source with a compact, light chamber that sits on the bench and ducts away what the process makes. For point-source extraction — a hot plate, a small bath, a staining station — it is the economical answer. WSHLAB builds three desktop exhaust materials: 8mm welded PP for light corrosive extraction, 1.0mm cold-rolled all-steel with anti-bet liner for general service, and brushed stainless with a 304 interior for clean and food work. All three run 1200, 1500 and 1800mm widths at a compact 750mm depth and 1500mm height, with tempered glass sashes and exhaust volumes of 1152-1843 m³/h. Use them where the chemistry is local and light; step up to a full ducted fume hood when the work spreads across the bench. Tell us the source and the chemistry and we will specify the capture that fits — without overselling the hood.

TECHNICAL DATA
Engineering the exhaust hood series
The chamber trades depth for proximity: 750mm deep, 1500mm high, with the tempered glass sash, LCD control panel and LED lighting of the full hood series. Bodies are 8mm welded PP, 1.0mm cold-rolled steel or brushed stainless with 304 liner; the exhaust plenum exits at 1152, 1497 or 1843 m³/h by width, matched to standard duct diameters.

Applications
Where benchtop exhaust hoods work
Local extraction for defined bench sources.
Staining and drying benches in histology
Small acid etching and cleaning steps (PP)
Soldering and light thermal processes
Odour control at decanting and pouring stations
Any bench source too small for a full fume hood
PERFORMANCE & SELECTION
What is a benchtop exhaust hood?
A benchtop exhaust hood is a compact ventilated enclosure for point-source fume extraction: the chamber is shallower and lighter than a fume hood's, the exhaust demand is lower, and the unit sits directly at the source — a hotplate, a small bath, a staining or drying station. Capture still follows the same rule: air moving into the opening fast enough to entrain the contaminant and hold it.
- Compact chamber for point-of-use capture
- 1200/1500/1800mm widths, 750mm depth
- Exhaust volumes 1152-1843 m³/h
- Tempered glass sash, LCD panel, LED lighting
CONFIGURATION & COMPATIBILITY
Materials: PP, all-steel, stainless steel
The material follows the fume. Light corrosive extraction runs in welded 8mm PP with a 5mm PP liner — acid vapours from digestion or etching never touch metal. General service runs in 1.0mm cold-rolled steel with anti-bet liner and LED lighting. Clean and food work runs in brushed stainless with a 304 interior that wipes down and stays compliant.
- PP 8mm: light corrosive fume extraction
- All-steel 1.0mm + anti-bet liner: general service
- Stainless brushed + 304 interior: clean and food work
- All three share the tempered glass sash hardware
