An upgraded series of biological safety cabinets is now available for use in biotech and life science laboratories.

The Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. (Milford, MA, USA) 1300 Series A2 line of biological safety cabinets has now been enhanced by the addition of two new models. The newly available 0.914 m and 1.52 m cabinets join the previously available 1.22 m and 1.83 m versions.

The new models feature "SmartPorts" that provide clean, easy, and safe access for routing vacuum tubing and cables through the sidewall of the biological safety cabinet. The 1300 Series A2 biological safety cabinets are available with choices of stainless steel or "SmartCoat" interiors and 20.3 cm or 25.4 cm work apertures.

The standard ergonomic features of the Thermo Scientific 1300 A2 series, such as its sloped front sash, a shelf to keep waste disposal and laboratory supplies within easy reach, and a spacious, unobstructed work area, have been further enhanced by the new "Ergolign" laboratory saddle stool that reduces back pressure and optimizes working posture for high efficiency.
