Esco Ascent Max 5ft Ductless Fume Hood B Series Model ADC-5B2
Standard Ductless Fume Hood for General Laboratory Use
The Esco Ascent Max 5ft Ductless Fume Hood B Series (ADC-5B2) is the standard model in the Ascent Max line, ideal for general laboratory applications such as dilution, mixing, and buffer preparation. It features a main carbon filter for effective removal of chemical fumes while safely recirculating clean air back into the laboratory.
With low noise operation, energy-efficient airflow, and plug-and-play installation, this ductless fume hood is a cost-effective, reliable solution for laboratories seeking safe chemical containment without complex ductwork.
Key Benefits
- Main Carbon Filtration: Efficient chemical fume removal for general lab tasks.
- Certified Containment: Negative pressure airflow and auto-purge slots prevent fumes from escaping the work zone.
- Energy-Efficient & Quiet: Permanently lubricated direct-drive centrifugal fan reduces noise and energy consumption.
- Advanced Airflow Monitoring: Sentinel Silver microprocessor continuously monitors airflow and triggers alarms for unsafe conditions.
- Durable & Hygienic: Industrial-grade electro-galvanized steel with ISOCIDE antimicrobial coating minimizes contamination.
- Flexible Filtration Options: Optional secondary backup carbon or HEPA filter for enhanced safety.
