Esco Ascent Max 3ft Ductless Fume Hood E Series Model ADC-3E2
Compact, Energy-Efficient Ductless Fume Hood with Backup HEPA Filter for Laboratory Safety
The Esco Ascent Max 3ft Ductless Fume Hood E Series (ADC-3E2) delivers high-performance chemical fume filtration in a compact footprint, ideal for smaller labs or bench spaces. Designed for handling volatile chemicals, powders, and solids, this ductless fume hood provides operator protection, environmental safety, and mobility without the need for costly or complex ductwork.
Equipped with a main carbon filter and a secondary HEPA filter, the ADC-3E2 is suitable for cleanroom applications and laboratories that require reliable containment, low noise, and energy-efficient operation.
Key Benefits
- Certified Containment: Prevents chemical vapors from escaping the work zone, with auto-purge slots to reduce fume accumulation.
- Energy-Efficient & Quiet: Permanently lubricated centrifugal fans and backward-curved impeller design lower noise and reduce operating costs.
- Advanced Airflow Monitoring: Sentinel Silver microprocessor continuously monitors airflow, displays real-time readings on a bright LCD, and triggers alarms for unsafe conditions.
- Easy Maintenance: Critical components such as fluorescent lamps, motor capacitor, and electronic ballast are mounted outside the airstream for convenient servicing.
- Durable & Clean: Industrial-grade electro-galvanized steel with ISOCIDE antimicrobial coating ensures long-term reliability and minimal surface contamination.
- Extended Filter Life: Nanocarb filters with dual diffuser design maximize efficiency, with optional secondary HEPA or carbon filter for backup protection.
