Vibration-isolated stand with free-standing hood frame isolates vibrations caused by the hood blower

Non-isolated (one-piece) stand

The Universal Hood's bottomless design allows it to be placed on virtually any work surface. For optimal performance, however, Terra recommends one of these hood stands, available in two designs (see descriptions below).

Both designs feature raised lips to hold the hood securely in place. All frames (whether isolated or not) are made of rigid square tubing with a white epoxy finish, and include stainless steel scuff sleeves to prevent scuffing along the bottom leg support. The work surface stands 32" (813 mm) above the floor. Be sure to select the size (large or small, single or twin) to match your hood.

Choose the work surface to suit your application (see ordering table). Subsurface polypropylene plenum chambers are available for perforated benchtops on a custom basis. These plenums (designed according to your specific requirements) serve two important functions: during chemical processing, they collect hazardous spills; and during laminar flow operations, they eliminate air-flow deflection towards the operator (an important concern when hazardous fumes may be present).

Vibration-Isolated Stands feature a two-part work surface and hood frame to isolate the work area from blower vibration, which can interfere with microscope operation.

Spill Trays, for Universal Hoods

These trays are ideal for containing spills. Available in stainless steel or polypropylene to meet various material compatibility requirements, each features a 0.5" (13 mm) lip (custom sizes available).
