MILFORD, Mass. (1 March 2010) - Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in serving science, today introduced its most energy efficient Thermo Scientific 1300 Series A2 Biological Safety Cabinets to date. The new models, thoroughly tested and certified by NSF, are available in both the coated interior and one-piece stainless steel interior options. Both offer a reduced airflow using a smaller eight-inch aperture to extend the life of the HEPA filters by 20 percent while requiring only 180 watts to operate. Lower airflow exhaust also minimizes the cost of laboratory air exchange when these cabinets are thimble-ducted for hazardous applications.
The full line of 1300 Series A2 also employs a unique SmartFlow™ airflow compensation system that maintains a safe environment for the user. This feature is combined with Digital Airflow Verification, which independently monitors product and personnel protection and alerts the user if safety is compromised. The lower airflow requirements of the 1300 Series A2 can reduce noise levels to as low as 62 dB(A), resulting in a more comfortable working environment within the laboratory. These best-in-class features provide superior containment, comfort and convenience, making the 1300 Series A2 range an excellent choice for the user and the environment.
