Esco Micro has signed an exclusive distributorship agreement with Wakenyaku in Japan for the distribution of Esco's internationally certified Labculture Class II Type A2 biosafety cabinet
Esco Micro is the first company outside of Japan to have a Class II biosafety cabinet certified to the JIS K3800 standard.
JIS K3800:2000 is the Japanese standard for biosafety cabinets based on the US NSF49 standard requirements.
However, the Japanese standard requires a more stringent microbiological testing procedure.
Labculture Class II Type A2 biosafety cabinet offers numerous functions and unique features, such as the superior Ulpa filters with 99.999% efficiency, antimicrobial Isocide coating, ergonomic sloped front and Accuflow microprocessor-based motor-speed controller, and laminated shatter-proof safety glass.
Esco Labculture Class II Type A2 Biosafety cabinet series have been certified to the European standard for microbiological safety cabinets, EN12469:2000 in 2004 and to the US Standard of NSF 49 for Class II biological safety cabinets in 2005.
Esco is now one of 11 biosafety cabinet manufacturers in the world to be certified to the stringent NSF49 standard.
Esco Biotech is a highly focused manufacturer of laminar flow, biohazard safety and other Hepa/Ulpa filtered cabinets for the laboratory with a history of quality cabinets since 1978.
