Description
Featuring our registered design profiled inlet, the Discovery uses a smooth, sweeping curve at the sash entrance to optimise airflow and containment. This state-of-the-art enhancement minimises turbulence and improves operator protection, even at lower face velocities.
The Discovery offers a modern aesthetic while maintaining the robustness and reliability our customers trust.
Designed with flexibility in mind, the Discovery has a compact footprint and reduced overall height, making it ideal for labs with limited space or low ceilings – such as temporary buildings – without compromising performance. Its streamlined proportions also make it easy to install in existing lab layouts, whether space-constrained or open-plan
Services
Our fume cupboards can be supplied with a range of integrated Broen Uniflex service fittings, allowing you to configure essential laboratory utilities directly within the cupboard.
You can add up to 8 services in total, with a maximum of 2 of any individual service. This gives you flexibility while keeping the layout practical and easy to use.
Once your order is placed, we’ll contact you before manufacturing begins to confirm the exact service configuration, including which services are positioned on the left or right-hand side of the cupboard.
