<p>A laboratory apparatus, such as a tissue processor, comprises a container (26) for containing material which may emit noxious fumes, the container (26) having a closure (32) moveable between an open position and a closed position in which it closes off or opens a mouth of the container. A fume collecting arrangement is provided comprising vents (36) provided adjacent the mouth or opening (28) of the container (26) and means operable to draw in air, with fumes escaping from the container (26), whilst the closure (32) is in the open position, and to pass the air carrying the fumes to treatment means or to a disposal outlet. The means operable to draw in air may be electrically operated and may be controlled by a switch operated automatically by opening and closing said closure (32). <IMAGE></p> |
