Danish term

punktudsug

Danish to English Other Science (general) Laboratory facilities/equipment
I'm translating SOPs for a lab. I know 'punktudsug' has something to do with (process) ventilation but haven't been able to find a translation for it.

Punktudsug: Det er vigtigt, at punktudsug med spjæld lukkes, når de ikke er i brug. Da vi har mange punktudsug, bruger de en betragtelig mængde luft.

Is it just simply a ventilation point or is there a specific name. Thanks in advance for any help.
Proposed translations (English)
3 +1 local exhaust ventilation, local extraction
4 fume hood // exhaust hood
3 spot extraction

spot extraction

"Spot extraction" seems a fairly common term (1,560 hits)and it seems to me reasonable to speak of a "spot extraction point" in this context.

fume hood // exhaust hood

the samples are processed under a hood that come in different sized but all vent to the outside.
