The Ascent Max Ductless Fume Hood has a rust and chip-resistant work surface that does not produce particulates as it is made of grade 304 stainless steel. No solid or liquid spill goes beyond the work area because a lip at the work surface's front edge blocks the way. It also has the ability to alert you of unsafe conditions with audible and visual alams with the help of a Sentinel™ microprocessor control. And for a brighter workzone, it comes with a 5000k warm fluorescent light. Maintenance is a breeze as a service panel that opens up at the front makes the Ascent Max Ductless Fume Hood more accessible. The entire structure is coated with Isocide™ that removes within a day 99.9% of surface bacteria.
