Presenting the ICI ISOLATOR Series

The ISOLATOR utilizes the most advanced fume hood technology available, combined with well-established architectural principles, to offer a truly distinct form of fume containment worldwide. Many of our standard features are not available in other fume hoods on the market today. The ISOLATOR's greatest strength is safety.

The ICI Scientific Isolator Fume Hood offers the following outstanding features, setting it apart from numerous brands on the market. Although the company provides a wide variety of models to choose from, ICI Scientific should be your first choice for addressing chemical exhaust needs.

• Frame Construction: ICI uses structural pan ends and 6” straps where required to erect the fume hood superstructure, allowing for the replacement of the liners without dismantling the fume hood. This design also makes the ICI hood demountable if field conditions or other factors necessitate it. In contrast, most other hoods on the market use metal channel frame construction or angle brackets, making the lining part of the support system for the main construction of the hood superstructure.

• View Panel: ICI includes a view panel at the top of the hood, enabling users to see inside the entire hood without bending, ensuring a clear view of important operations. Additionally, this panel allows more light into the fume hood, enhancing safety in the event of a fire. This feature is uncommon in most other brands, though it may be offered as an option on some.

• Line of Sight: ICI provides a significantly longer line of sight due to the view panel mentioned above.

• Sash Drive: ICI employs a chain and sprocket sash drive, which comes with a lifetime manufacturer’s warranty. These drives are nearly foolproof, unlike the cable and pulley drives found on most fume hoods. The drive has been subjected to over 1,000,000 cycles without failure.

• Sash Glass: ICI uses tempered glass as standard, which is seven times stronger upon impact than laminated or safety glass. Tempered sash glass will not crack or discolor under sunlight, unlike most other glasses.

• Access Panels: ICI offers Overlay and Positive Lock Fire Containment Access Panels, which provide a tighter seal than most standard gasketed panels, eliminating the risk of the panel falling out of position and becoming a "chimney" in a fire, as might happen with standard gasketed access panels.

• Duct Collar: ICI provides a round stainless steel duct collar at the top of the fume hood, facilitating an easier transition into mechanical systems while minimizing pressure drop at the fume hood.

• Shallow Airfoil Posts: ICI's posts (or sidewalls) for all standard fume hoods are flat with an integral airfoil edge, creating a shallower hood exterior frame. These posts are 5" thick, providing more usable workspace inside the fume hood. This shallow footprint returns valuable real estate to the lab space from a space-planning perspective.

• Certifications: ICI Isolator fume hoods are UL/CSA 1805 listed, ASHRAE 110 certified, SEFA 1 certified, and meet or exceed SEFA 8 standards for chemical resistance.

With its unmatched combination of advanced technology, robust construction, and rigorous safety standards, the ICI ISOLATOR Series sets a new benchmark in fume hood design and functionality. Whether you're looking for enhanced safety features, superior visibility, or adaptable construction, the ISOLATOR offers solutions that meet the highest industry standards and exceed expectations. ICI Scientific continues to be a trusted partner in laboratory innovation, ensuring that your workspace is not only efficient and effective but also a safe and sustainable environment for cutting-edge research and development.
