Fumehood

Description of DIY fumehood About 60 man hours

Inert fiberglass interior

Polycarbonate screen

Fumehood can be made out of wood, but wood can slowly warp over time. Would suggest a steel frame to reinforce and keep everything straight, as well as for mounting points.

Polycarbonate is relatively thermally stable and is shatterproof, wihch is great for safety

The inside is lined with glass fiber, which is fairly inert. The bottom is a glass surface, which is pretty good

The working area of the fumehood has a big "lip", to contain liquids inside the fumehood, as opposed to the fluids getting out

Electrical outlets for the mag stir plate Light switch Switch for extraction fan

Have mounting holes for stainless steel rods, so you hang glassware off them. Plus, it keeps the work surface clean :)

Cooling water in and out Compressed air vacuum inert gas (nitrogen)

Wood boxes with PVC linings are great for holding everything inside
