Fume cupboards serve as your laboratory’s first line of defence against hazardous exposure. These systems protect personnel from dangerous chemicals, vapours, and fumes - but only when every component is performing as it should.
AG&G Services provides professional fume cupboard testing, inspection and maintenance services across Australia. We help laboratories, hospitals, universities, and industrial facilities ensure their ventilation systems operate safely and comply with required standards.
Why Does Testing
Matter?
The safety and efficiency of fume cupboards and cabinets depend on mulitple systems working in harmony. If airflow, extraction, or sealing is compromised, personnel can be exposed to serious health risks.
