Expanded SHUR/Clean™ Fume Hood Product Line

TBS has been producing fume containment /capture devices on many of our products for years. Because these vapor management systems have so effectively contained tissue processor, slide stainer and coverslipper hazardous fumes, many customers have asked us to offer a line of bench-top fume hoods to help manage routine manual histological processes.

Three popular SHUR/Clean™ Fume Hood styles are now available from stock to manage noxious fumes.  An Active Sloped- Front Fume Hood features hinged sashes for manual grossing and/or staining applications, an Open-Front Passive model accommodates the TBS SHUR/Wave™microwave tissue processor and a Downdraft instrument addresses manual coverslipping vapors.

SHUR/Clean™ Fume Hoods are compact, portable, and reliable.   They are easy to integrate into histology, pathology and cytology work environments at an affordable price.
