We too have the Thermo Shandon hood,on our staining machine,  which has a
charcoal pack, which is saturated quickley, so we may end up encouraging
solvent vapours rather than reducing them
if we do not change them frequently enough

Subject: [Histonet] bench top fume hoods


Hi everyone, 
Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with benchtop fume
hoods.  I'm looking into purchasing one primarily because of xylene,
formaldehyde, and paraformaldehyde and would appreciate any thoughts
about them.  Thanks again for sharing all your wisdom! Sylvia
