I always thought these hoods were for sucking away germs or fumes so they didn’t get out into the room. Nope. That’s backwards. Trying to keep the sample clean here.

Yeah intern contaminated by samples is easier to replace than the samples ;)

There's extraction hoods that are aiming to do the opposite, it depends on what you're more concerned about. (doing both, is of course, much more annoying)
