Product catalog summary
Overview: The NCB™ e3 Class II Type B1 Biological Safety Cabinet is engineered to surpass the National Cancer Institute's standards for a General Purpose Clean Air Biological Safety Cabinet. It incorporates advanced design features to enhance containment and reduce cross-contamination and exposure to chemicals, vapors, and gases.
Specifications: The cabinet ensures all exhaust air is directly removed from the work area via a dedicated exhaust duct. It utilizes dual supply HEPA filters to maintain particulate-free positive pressure areas. The ExchangeSAFE™ Sealed Access Filter Exchange System facilitates safe and efficient filter changes.
Airflow System: The cabinet uses a unidirectional airflow pattern, with approximately 60% of air drawn into the exhaust plenum and 40% recirculated through the primary-supply HEPA filter. An air barrier at the front access opening prevents the escape of harmful agents.
Construction and Safety: Constructed with corrosion-resistant stainless steel, the cabinet features airtight seals, GFCI-protected outlets, UL-listed electrical systems, and a slanted viewscreen for user comfort. Its double-wall design captures contaminated air under negative pressure, enhancing safety.
Energy Efficiency: The StediFLOW™ motor technology reduces energy consumption, extends filter life, and minimizes heat output. The cabinet is suitable for biosafety levels 1, 2, and 3, requiring an external exhaust system.
Performance and Testing: Tested to meet NSF International Standard 49, the cabinet includes features like a momentum air curtain and high-velocity return air slots for enhanced containment. It can handle increased filter loading without significant air delivery reduction.
Technical Specifications: Detailed dimensions, weight, power consumption, and exhaust requirements are provided for models NCB405 and NCB605. Construction details include materials and design features for optimal performance and safety.
Options and Accessories: Available options include different viewscreen sash openings, exhaust duct collars, UV germicidal lamps, and ergonomic accessories.
Plumbing Connections: All external plumbing connections to the petcocks must be made through the back or top of the cabinet, ensuring zero clearance with adjacent walls or equipment.
Stand and Work Surface: The unit includes a stand with telescoping legs, allowing the work surface height to be adjusted between 31½" and 40".
Viewscreen Guide: Features a counterweighted pulley system for easy movement.
Electrical Specifications:
  • The unit is certified by Underwriters Laboratory (cULus) for electrical, fire, and personal safety.
  • Adjustable timers for fluorescent lights, outlets, and optional UV lights operate in 15-minute and 1-hour intervals.
  • Work area includes two GFCI-protected duplex outlets with drip-proof covers, protected by a self-resetting circuit breaker.
  • Comes with a 16' power cord and plug (NEMA 5-20P).
  • If equipped with a UV light, it has a safety shutoff feature when the viewscreen is raised.
  • Externally mounted fluorescent light fixture provides an average of 100 foot-candles illumination at the work surface.
Purchase Specifications: Designed for use with volatile chemicals and radionuclides in microbiological studies, provided they do not interfere with the work when recirculated in the downflow air.
Warranty: The Baker Company offers a 36-month warranty in the U.S. (12 months internationally) against defects in material and workmanship, with repairs or replacements provided free of charge. This warranty excludes any improper use, installation, service, or testing.
