FAQ: Biological Safety Cabinets Biological Safety Cabinets (BSC's)


26. I noticed that Baker uses safety plate glass in its cabinets rather than tempered glass. What's the reason for this?

The advantages of both kinds of glass have been carefully evaluated by Baker engineers. Tempered glass tends to shatter, while safety glass will crack but typically does not shatter. Given the nature of the laboratory environment, it's our determination that this characteristic provides better safety protection for Baker users. - Updated: July 31, 1999
