Standard Products
Baker standard products are engineered to meet the most common requirements of the general laboratory environment. Consult product literature online or in print for detailed information on features, benefits and performance attributes.

• While configured for standard production, many standard products are available with options and accessories to more specifically match the unit with its application. In addition, the Baker sales engineering staff is experienced in determining the most cost-effective approach to standard product modifications when required.
• If our standard product with options or accessories still does not meet your exact need, please contact Baker to arrange a solution.

Animal Research Products
As a worldwide leader in isolation and containment technology, Baker products are frequently found in the animal research laboratory.

• Baker market research and extensive product testing have brought forth a new generation of biological safety cabinets, clean benches, transfer stations, waste disposal units and cage management products designed exclusively for live animal and mammalian cell culture applications.
• While traditional animal isolation methods have focused on protecting the laboratory animal from airborne particulates and cross contamination, Baker Class II, Type A2 biological safety cabinets now extend this protection to lab personnel and the environment as well.
• Baker developments in ergonomic design offer significant benefits that improve workflow, operator comfort and productivity.
• Our work areas offer easier access, reduced glare and better lighting.
• Airflow systems, HEPA filter configurations, blower/motor assemblies and electronic controls are designed for convenience and safety for principal investigators and staff who manage cages, feeding and daily protocols.

Pharmacy Products
Baker Company pharmacy products have been developed in response to demand for safe, comfortable and cost-effective methods for sterile compounding and preparation of cytotoxic materials in the clinical environment.

• The ChemoSHIELD^® negative pressure glovebox isolator is designed for aseptic compounding of hazardous or potent pharmaceutical compounds, chemotherapy agents and IV admixtures that can be harmful to pharmacy personnel.
• The SterilSHIELD^® positive pressure glovebox isolator is designed for aseptic compounding of non-hazardous pharmaceuticals.

Robotics
The emergence of new, robotically assisted technologies for drug discovery, high-throughput screening and high-volume sample management in a contained environment have resulted in the development of the Baker BioPROtect^® Series walk-in and reach-in biological safety cabinets.

Homeland Security
As the world now struggles to confront the emerging threat of bioterrorism, the United States government is working to find meaningful solutions and proper responses to this crisis.

While public policy continues to evolve, it is clear that empowerment of state and local public health laboratories, police and public safety agencies are forming the first line of response.

In response to increased demand from divergent markets, The Baker Company offers consultative and technical sales assistance, containment products and information compiled from company, industry, government and public health sources.
