Does anyone have information (field studies, containment studies, hands-on experience, references..) regarding Fisher Hamilton's Concept fumehood? From the literature that I've reviewed it appears that this fumehood has comparable or better containment at the low-flow setting of 60 FPM than standard fumehoods at 100 FPM. I'm specifically interested in experience related to the use of "stench" chemicals (TEMED or beta-mercaptoethanol) in these fumehoods. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
