Filter Replacement

At Safelab, we design, manufacture, and supply an extensive range of high-performance carbon and HEPA filters for ductless fume cupboards, serving not only our own systems but also a wide range of products from other leading manufacturers. Each filter is designed for specific chemical groups, ensuring targeted protection and optimal performance.

We manufacture our activated carbon filters on site, giving us full process control and traceability.  Critically, we use a high quality activated carbon, with ISO 9001 certified batch-to-batch consistency of adsorption capacity and particle size. The microporous structure of our activated carbon results in an extremely large surface area, promoting adsorption of airborne contaminants at high capacity.

Tailored Filtration – Built Around Your Needs

Every laboratory is different, that’s why our experienced in-house chemist works closely with customers to evaluate their requirements and specify the most suitable filter:

  1. Clients provide us with a list of the chemicals they use
  2. Our technical team identifies the most suitable carbon filter type
  3. We manufacture and supply a filter matched to those needs

This tailored approach ensures your fume cupboard delivers optimum containment, efficiency, and peace of mind.
