German term or phrase: Stehkapellen
"Mit dem Ersatz der Stehkapellen im Chromatographie Raum und diversen Modifikationen am Lüftungssystem,"

There is also reference to a Waldner Kapellen being replaced by a Abarcon Kapellen with these each bearing their respective manufacturers.

I understand that Kapellen is a type of laboratory fume cupboard or hood, but cannot pin it down as it is used alone or as Stehkapellen. Scientific slang?

Fume hood; fume cupboard
Explanation:
If you google for Waldner or Abarcon fume hood, wirst du fündig.
I guess the "Steh-" bit means the "standalone" type, rather than a desk/bench-mounted job

translated Kapellen and its derivatives as fume cupboard. My research, including looking into the manufacturers´ product lines, hints at Kapellen being synomous with Abzug, which is definitely a fume cupboard.

canopy fume hoods


Explanation:
A "Stehkapelle" ("Stehkapellen" is the plural.), as opposed to a "Kapelle" (fume hood), is, so far as I can tell, after some Googling, specifically a "canopy fume hood", i.e. just the fume hood without a table.
