Congratulations on your purchase of a Labconco Protector® Stainless Steel
Perchloric Acid Laboratory Fume Hood. The Protector Stainless Steel Perchloric
Laboratory Hood is designed to efficiently ventilate procedures using Perchloric
acid. It is the result of Labconco’s more than 50 years experience in
manufacturing fume hoods, and users like you suggested many of its features to
us.
The Protector Stainless Steel Perchloric Acid Fume Hood has been engineered to
provide maximum safety in a laboratory while using Perchloric acid. Usage of
materials other than Perchloric acid is not recommended. Perchloric acid is
a strong oxidizing agent, and should not be used in combination with any
organic material as the possibility of a hazardous chemical reaction or
explosion could develop. The Protector Stainless Steel Hoods offer many unique
features to enhance safety, performance, and visibility.
To take full advantage of them, please acquaint yourself with this manual and
keep it handy for future reference. If you are unfamiliar with how fume hoods
operate, please review Chapter 4: Performance Features and Safety Precautions
before you begin working in the fume hood. Even if you are an experienced fume
hood user, please review Chapter 5: Using The Protector Perchloric Acid, which
describes the Protector Stainless Steel Perchloric Acid Hood features so that you
can use the hood efficiently.
