What Huco Lab Solution does

Huco Lab Solution ((주)휴코) is a South Korean manufacturer of laboratory safety and air-purification equipment, founded in 1997 as Korea Machinery and incorporated as a corporation in December 2011. The company designs and sells a comprehensive portfolio spanning five product categories: lab furniture (wall-mounted, central, corner benches, sinks, anti-vibration and work tables), fume hoods (bypass, ductless, air-curtain, walk-in, acid-resistant, explosion-proof, radiation-shielding, canopy and arm variants), bio equipment (Class II Type A2 biological safety cabinets and laminar-flow clean benches), reagent cabinets (sealed circulation, exhaust, and general models), and air purifiers (mobile local exhaust ventilators, gas scrubbers, 3D printer chambers, filter boxes, and blower motors). Its technical differentiation centers on proprietary filtration — including a 4-stage 4H filter system achieving 95.5% harmful gas removal on reagent cabinets, ULPA filters at 99.999% efficiency for biological safety cabinets, and energy-saving designs certified by Korea Conformity Laboratories at 62% power reduction — together with self-developed HM-TX touchscreen controllers and Variable Air Volume control systems.
