Self-Contained Backdraft Workstations
Self-contained backdraft workstations from Geneva Scientific by TBJ Inc. are engineered to provide efficient source capture ventilation without the need for connection to a building exhaust system. Each unit features an integral blower and filtration module, delivering dependable negative pressure airflow in a compact, self-sufficient design.
Ideal for laboratories, industrial facilities, educational environments, and light production settings, these ductless backdraft workstations simplify installation while maintaining effective particulate control and operator protection.
Integrated Filtration & Blower Performance
Unlike traditional ducted systems, self-contained backdraft workstations include a built-in filtration system and motorized blower assembly. Contaminated air is drawn across the work surface toward the rear plenum, where it is filtered before being recirculated or safely exhausted, depending on configuration.
Available filtration options may include:
- HEPA filtration for fine particulate capture
- Carbon filtration for odor control
- Combination filter systems for multi-contaminant applications
This integrated approach reduces installation complexity and offers flexibility when facility ducting is limited or unavailable.
Key Benefits
- No external ductwork required
- Simplified installation and relocation
- Consistent airflow performance
- Compact footprint for flexible placement
- Available in standard and custom configurations
For facilities requiring centralized exhaust integration, explore our ducted backdraft workstations. For multi-user environments, consider our modular multi-user backdraft workstations to maximize efficiency within shared lab spaces.
