The Baker Company's New ReadySAFE™ Technology Saves Energy, Increases Lab Efficiency

(September 2009) SANFORD, ME -- The Baker Company's SterilGARD® e3 high-efficiency biological safety cabinets are equipped with an industry-first idle mode that is instantly safe upon resuming standard operation. The ReadySAFE mode allows the cabinet to substantially reduce its energy consumption when a worker is not sitting at the cabinet—useful during meetings, lunch breaks, and overnights.

The technology allows the user to close the sash and operate the cabinet at a reduced airflow that provides personnel, product and environmental protection while using less 50-75% less energy. When the view screen is reopened, the motor immediately speeds up to provide proper operating air flows. Because there is no need to re-sanitize the work area, the instantaneous, automatic protection dramatically increases laboratory productivity. When operating in the ReadySAFE mode, cabinets meet or exceed NSF/ANSI Standard 49 Class II and ISO class 4 criteria. www.bakerco.com
