EKá Fume Hood
India’s First High Performance Fume Hood
Introducing EKá, India’s first high-performance fume hood by LabGuard. EKá addresses the unique needs of CROs and R&D labs, offering 25% more workspace with an ergonomic design that simplifies daily research activities.
It features smooth sash movement, full viewing height, accessible valves, and convenient storage. Engineered for safety and durability, EKá includes a fireproof inner liner, SmartSash system, and chemical-resistant coatings, ensuring long-term protection in harsh lab environments.
Additionally, its advanced VAV system and energy-efficient SmartSash™ technology significantly reduce energy consumption, making EKá the ideal choice for modern laboratories.
User Safety at its Best
A research lab is always prone to accidents. Be it a chemical splash or a fire in an overnight reaction, the fume hood must be equipped to handle these emergencies.
That’s why EKá is armed with numerous safety features. It is fortified with a fireproof inner liner, failsafe devices for the sash, a SmartSash system, built-in fire extinguishers, and a static earthing arrangement.

Maximum Durability
LabGuard exclusively uses Galvanized Iron (GI) for their products due to its superior resistance to harsh lab environments, ensuring long-lasting durability. They enhance this protection with specialized pre-treatment and chemical-resistant powder coatings that pass rigorous salt spray and SEFA-8 chemical spot tests. Additionally, they focus on safeguarding hardware and components exposed to fumes, guaranteeing extended corrosion-free use with proper maintenance and routine checks.

Smart Features
The SmartSash™ is an intelligent system that detects human presence. It sets the sash at a safe working height when it detects an operator and closes the sash if it detects no operator present for over 3 minutes. The automated closure of the sash ensures that the minimum amount of conditioned air is wasted in the lab, giving you the maximum benefit of the VAV airflow system.
Enhanced safety
At its closed position, your fume hood provides you with maximum safety. There is absolutely no chance of leakage of any sort. The SmartSash system gives you enhanced safety as well as maximum savings from your QuantumFlow or VAV flow control systems.
EKá offers various Salient Features which makes #1 choice of the fume hood users in the industry.
