Labzee Trimming Hoods are specialized ventilation units designed to provide a safe and clean workspace during tissue block trimming and paraffin removal. They actively extract fumes, particles, and odours generated during hot trimming processes using built-in exhaust systems and replaceable filters. These systems support ergonomic trimming surfaces, integrated lighting, and adjustable airflow for enhanced operator comfort. Their durable construction, low noise operation, and compact design make them suitable for routine histology workflows. Our Trimming Hoods are ideal for use in pathology labs, academic institutions, diagnostic centers, and research facilities.

Frequently Asked Questions
1: When is a Trimming Hoods used in histology labs?
It is used during tissue block trimming and paraffin removal to ventilate harmful fumes and particles. The hood provides a safer environment for lab personnel. It is essential in workflows involving heat and wax.
2: Can it filter both fumes and particulates?
Yes, most Trimming Hoods are equipped with multi-stage filtration systems. These include activated carbon and HEPA filters. Replace filters regularly for optimal performance.
3: Can the airflow be adjusted during use?
Yes, airflow settings can typically be controlled to suit different trimming tasks. Variable speed fans improve energy efficiency and noise levels. Consistent airflow maintains clean conditions.
4: When should the filters be replaced?
Filter replacement intervals depend on usage frequency and lab protocols. Most models feature indicator lights or usage timers. Routine inspection ensures effective ventilation.
5: Can it be installed on standard lab benches?
Yes, Trimming Hoods are usually benchtop-compatible and require minimal setup. Ensure proper clearance and access to a power source. Compact models are ideal for small lab spaces.
