Featured Innovations in the TopAir Range:

Among the standout innovations now available through Labotec is TopAir’s Polypropylene Fume Hood with an integrated Wet Scrubber. This unit is specifically designed to handle harsh chemicals safely, thanks to its corrosion-resistant polypropylene construction. The built-in wet scrubber effectively neutralizes harmful acid vapours, preventing them from being released into the environment. With four smart water management methods—including pH monitoring and automated replacement options—this hood ensures optimal scrubbing efficiency while enhancing overall laboratory safety.

Another groundbreaking solution is TopAir’s real-time particle monitoring system, which leverages a proprietary sensor and advanced algorithm to provide constant cleanliness status inside clean working areas. This innovation eliminates the need for costly external certification services or expensive particle counters by delivering 24/7 monitoring, instant contamination alerts through a red-light alarm system, and support for ISO 5 compliance. It’s a powerful, cost-effective tool that provides lab professionals with greater control over their cleanroom environments.

By combining proprietary technologies with deep industry expertise, TopAir delivers flexible and scalable solutions for modern laboratories. Their emphasis on customization ensures that even niche laboratory requirements are met without compromise.

With Labotec now representing TopAir in the Southern African market, customers can expect expert consultation, localised support, and reliable access to one of the world’s most respected laboratory safety solution providers.
