Baker High Velocity Return Air Slots Reduce Backwash

The Baker EdgeGARD® clean bench design includes patented high velocity return air slots which minimize particulate contamination created by backwash common in conventional clean bench construction. All Baker clean benches and laminar flow cabinets employ a patented cabinet design with high velocity return air slots which are proven effective in significantly reducing the effects of backwash.

  • High velocity slots are located along the front edge of the work surface and along the side walls of the work area.
  • Air is drawn into these slots at 1,000 FPM ensuring that no unfiltered air enters the work area. Slots radically reduce particle counts from backwash created by the introduction of work pieces or operator's hands into the work stream.
  • Slots recover air at all leading edges of the work space, and recirculate the air through the HEPA filter to reduce the particle count.
  • Slots help extend filter life by reducing the proliferation of dirty air into the filter intake.

Air Cleanliness Classification

In Federal Standard No. 209E (last revised Sept.11,1992) the United States Government provides requirements for three classes of air cleanliness. Classifications are based on particle counts taken at a location within the clean bench which will yield a particle count of air as it approaches the work location. It is important to note that government classifications reflect performance when the bench is "at rest," or free of materials or work activity within the hood.

Air Cleanliness Classes, Federal Standard No. 209E
Class 100 Particle count not to exceed a total of 100 particles per cubic foot of a size 0.5 micron and larger.
Class 10,000 Particle count not to exceed a total of 10,000 particles per cubic foot of a size 0.5 micron and larger, or 65 particles per cubic foot of a size 5.0 micron and larger.
Class 100,000 Particle count not to exceed a total of 100,000 particles per cubic foot of a size 0.5 micron and larger, or 700 particles per cubic foot of a size 5.0 micron and larger.

Baker NCB-C Surpasses Class II, Type B1 Criteria

Biosafety Cabinets with Unique HEPA Air Filtration

Baker has developed the Model NCB-C® to exceed typical Class II, Type B1 criteria, with unique design features proven to enhance containment while inhibiting cross contamination and exposure to chemicals, vapors and gases.

  • All exhaust air is removed directly from the work area (direct exhaust) and pulled through a dedicated exhaust duct into the facility’s separate exhaust system.
  • Vapors and gases emitted from vessels or work behind the air split (approximately half way back from the cabinet front) are removed and not recirculated.
  • Dual HEPA supply filters assure that all positive pressure areas are free of particulate contamination. Recirculated air is HEPA-filtered immediately below the work surface before it is passed through a HEPA supply filter above the work area.
  • In accordance with the NCI specification, unfiltered air in the Baker NCB-C® cabinet flows under negative pressure in dedicated ducts.

Approximately 40% of the descending air is pulled forward where it mixes with room air entering the perforated front grille. This air passes through the HEPA supply filter directly below the work surface, then is circulated under positive pressure through a duct to the top of the cabinet, then through another HEPA supply filter, where the process is repeated.

Class II, Type B2

Class II, Type B2 cabinets are total exhaust cabinets, widely used in toxicology laboratories and similar applications where chemical effluent is present and clean air is essential.

  • There is no recirculation within the work area.
  • Room air enters through a blower/motor in the top of the cabinet and passes through a HEPA supply filter into the work area as the vertical unidirectional airflow.
  • Descending air is pulled through the base of the cabinet through the perforated front and rear grilles.
  • Simultaneously, air entering through the perforated front opening is pulled through the grille and exhausted immediately.
  • 100% of the air is pulled into the facility exhaust system for appropriate treatment.
  • Type B2 cabinets must be hard-connected to an exhaust system.

Class III Total Containment Cabinets

Class III biological safety cabinets are gas-tight, designed for use with high risk biological agents. Class III cabinets provide the highest level of personnel, product and environmental protection. Because of the sensitive nature of most procedures performed within a Class III cabinet, Baker builds each BSC system to exact customer specifications.

Typical applications include:

  • Working with emerging diseases or diseases marked for near eradication.
  • Weighing and diluting chemical carcinogens.
  • Working with high concentrations of low to moderate risk agents.
  • Working with large amounts of low to moderate risk agents.
  • Use of equipment or instrumentation generating high aerosol volumes.
  • Maximum containment of highly infectious or hazardous experimental materials.
  • An extra level of safety not available in Class I or II cabinets.

Baker Performance Exceeds Federal Minimum Standards

In tests conducted by The Baker Company, the Baker EdgeGARD® clean bench, with patented high velocity return air slots, has been proven to reduce backwash. Tests were conducted under conditions at and beyond minimum standards established in Federal Standard No. 209E.

  • Tests on the EdgeGARD® (Model EG3220) were conducted with the high velocity return air slots uncovered (normal), and covered (to simulate a conventional laminar flow clean bench).
  • Comparative tests were conducted with the EdgeGARD® in three modes:
    • Empty and operating (federal minimum standard).
    • Operating with a commonly used piece of equipment in the air stream (Baker standard).
    • Operating while work was being performed in the work area (Baker standard).
Baker EdgeGARD® Clean Bench  With High Velocity Return Air Slots Covered To Simulate Conventional Clean Bench With High Velocity Air Slots Uncovered To Deliver Maximum Protection 
 Operating, Empty (Federal Minimum Standard)  Particle count within Class 100 limits Particle count within Class 100 limits 
Operating, With Common Equipment In Hood (Baker Standard) Particle count exceeds limits of Class 100 and Class 10,000 air quality performance Particle count within Class 100 limits due to performance of high velocity return air slots
Operating, Work Being Performed In Work Area (Baker Standard) Particle count exceeds limits of Class 100 air quality performance  Particle count within Class 100 limits due to performance of high velocity return air slots

Smoke Tests Prove Unique Performance of Baker Clean Bench

Results of extensive testing by The Baker Company are illustrated by smoke tests conducted at the front of the hood.

  • When a beaker is placed in the air stream of a conventional laminar flow clean bench (shown, EdgeGARD® with return air slots covered), the resulting airflow interruption creates a backwash of smoke into the work area.
  • With high velocity return air slots uncovered, introduction of smoke into the work area is prevented.
  • Only Baker offers patented high velocity return air slots for maximum protection.

Ongoing migration of all internal documentation into a paperless approach and expanding the product information available on our website is part of our commitment to preserving natural resources too.

Test Results and Conclusions

The performance of different Class II cabinets is distinctly different when considering filtration, ventilation, air exchange, and airflow.

  • The airflow in a Type A1 or A2 cabinet is not well suited for work with hazardous vapors.
  • When even minute amounts of hazardous vapors are present, it is recommended that the Type B2, 100% total exhaust cabinet be used.
  • If vessels containing hazardous materials which may vaporize are placed in a Type B1 cabinet, the container should be placed toward the rear third of the work surface, but not so far back as to block the flow of air through the rear grille.

Test Result Summary

Toluene vapor test results illustrate distinctly different vapor return patterns for each cabinet type

Cabinet Type Test Result
Type A Cabinet Vapor concentrations in the downflow air reached a constant value which did not significantly change as the vapor generator was moved from front to rear of the work surface. 
Type B1 Cabinet Significant changes occurred as the vapor generator was moved from front to rear of the work surface. With the generator placed in front, the amount of returned vapor paralleled the performance of the Type A cabinet. With the generator placed in the rear, returned vapor paralleled performance of the 100% total exhaust cabinet (Class II, Type B2). The downward curve illustrates the variance in vapor concentration related to location from front to rear.
Type B2 Cabinet In the 100% total exhaust cabinet, no air is recirculated and all vapor was removed.
Type A2 Cabinet Vapor concentrations in the downflow air reached a constant value which did not significantly change as the vapor generator was moved from front to rear of the work surface.

NSF Classification of 2002

Cabinets previously classified as Class II, Type A/B3 are now classified as Class II, Type A2. These biosafety cabinets may be exhausted to the room, or connected to a facility exhaust system via a "canopy" connection (NSF recommends a canopy connection for cabinets exhausted to the outdoors). The Class II, Type B3 classification no longer exists for new units.

It is important to understand differences in cabinet Type in order to select the proper cabinet for your application.

New NSF Classification, Adopted 2002 Previous NSF Classification General Description
A1 Class II, Type A
  • 70% air recirculated; 30% exhausted from a common plenum to the room;
  • 75FPM intake;
  • may have biologically contaminated positive pressure plenum
A2 Class II, Type A/B3
  • 70% air recirculated; 30% exhausted from a common plenum to the room;
  • 100FPM intake;
  • biologically contaminated plenum under negative pressure or surrounded by negative pressure
A2 Class II, Type B3
  • 70% air recirculated; 30% exhausted from a common plenum to a facility exhaust system;
  • 100FPM intake;
  • biologically contaminated plenum under negative pressure or surrounded by negative pressure
B1 Class II, Type B1
  • 40% air recirculated; 60% exhausted from cabinet;
  • exhaust air pulled through dedicated exhaust duct into facility exhaust system;
  • 100FPM intake
  • all biologically contaminated plenums are negative to the room or surrounded by negative pressure plenums
B2 Class II, Type B2
  • 0% air recirculated; 100% exhausted from cabinet
  • exhaust air pulled through dedicated exhaust duct into facility exhaust system;
  • 100FPM intake
  • all ducts and plenums are under negative pressure
  • all contaminated ducts are under negative pressure or surrounded by directly exhausted negative pressure ducts or plenums

Note: All Baker biological safety cabinets provide containment and protection from airborne particulates for personnel, the work area, and the environment. Depending on the Type and nature of the exhaust configuration, and whether the exhaust system is treated or untreated, this containment and protection can extend to vapors and gases as well.

Class II Protection From Particulates From Vapors and Gases
Type A1, Type A2 Personnel, work area (products) and environment
  • If exhausted to room: none; not for use with vapors and gases
  • If exhausted to facility exhaust system, protects personnel 
  • If exhausted to a treated facility exhaust system protects personnel, the work area and the environment
Type B1 Personnel, work area (products) and environment Offers more protection to personnel and the work area the closer the vapor source is located toward rear of work area; (offers protection to the environment if exhausted to treated system)
Type B2 Personnel, work area (products) and environment Offers protection to personnel; (offers protection to environment if exhausted to treated system)

Biological safety cabinets can be differentiated by a variety of design and performance factors. These include face velocity, air recirculation proportion, contaminated plenum pressure and exhaust function.

Class II, Type A1 and Type A2 Biological Safety Cabinet

HEPA-filtered exhaust air in the Type A1 and A2 cabinet may be recirculated into the room or exhausted to the outdoors through a canopy exhaust connection.

  • Offers product, personnel and environmental protection.
  • Minimum intake air velocity:
    • Type A1 - 75 FPM;
    • Type A2 - 100 FPM.
  • HEPA-filtered downflow air is a portion of mixed downflow and inflow air from a common plenum.
  • Biologically contaminated ducts and plenums:
    • Type A1 under positive pressure to the room
    • Type A2 under negative pressure or surrounded by negative pressure

Class II, Type B3 Cabinet

The Class II, Type B3 classification has been eliminated by NSF. This cabinet is now called a Type A2 ducted to the outside..

Class II, Type B1 Cabinet

By definition, Baker Model NCB-C® Class II, Type B1 cabinet meets the ventilation design characteristics established by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) for a General Purpose Clean Air Biological Safety Cabinet (Class II, Type B Safety Cabinet, 6 July 1976). The Baker NCB-C Class II, Type B1 exceeds the NSF Standard with unique design and features offering significant advantages in both particulate and gas/vapor containment.

  • Offers products, personnel and environmental protection.
  • The cabinet exhausts approximately 60% of the circulated air through a HEPA exhaust filter.
  • The remaining 40% of the air is recirculated to the work area through a HEPA supply filter.
  • HEPA-filtered downflow air comprised of uncontaminated recirculated inflow air.
  • Minimum intake air velocity of 100 FPM.
  • Exhausts most of contaminated downflow air through a dedicated duct exhausted to the outside after passing through a HEPA filter.
  • All biologically contaminated ducts and plenums are under negative pressure or surrounded by negative pressure ducts and plenums.
  • Type B1 cabinets must be hard connected to an exhaust system.

Baker NCB-C Surpasses Class II, Type B1 Criteria

Biosafety Cabinets with Unique HEPA Air Filtration

Baker has developed the Model NCB-C® to exceed typical Class II, Type B1 criteria, with unique design features proven to enhance containment while inhibiting cross contamination and exposure to chemicals, vapors and gases.

  • All exhaust air is removed directly from the work area (direct exhaust) and pulled through a dedicated exhaust duct into the facility’s separate exhaust system.
  • Vapors and gases emitted from vessels or work behind the air split (approximately half way back from the cabinet front) are removed and not recirculated.
  • Dual HEPA supply filters assure that all positive pressure areas are free of particulate contamination. Recirculated air is HEPA-filtered immediately below the work surface before it is passed through a HEPA supply filter above the work area.
  • In accordance with the NCI specification, unfiltered air in the Baker NCB-C® cabinet flows under negative pressure in dedicated ducts.

Approximately 40% of the descending air is pulled forward where it mixes with room air entering the perforated front grille. This air passes through the HEPA supply filter directly below the work surface, then is circulated under positive pressure through a duct to the top of the cabinet, then through another HEPA supply filter, where the process is repeated.

Class II, Type B2

Class II, Type B2 cabinets are total exhaust cabinets, widely used in toxicology laboratories and similar applications where chemical effluent is present and clean air is essential.

  • There is no recirculation within the work area.
  • Room air enters through a blower/motor in the top of the cabinet and passes through a HEPA supply filter into the work area as the vertical unidirectional airflow.
  • Descending air is pulled through the base of the cabinet through the perforated front and rear grilles.
  • Simultaneously, air entering through the perforated front opening is pulled through the grille and exhausted immediately.
  • 100% of the air is pulled into the facility exhaust system for appropriate treatment.
  • Type B2 cabinets must be hard-connected to an exhaust system.

Class III Total Containment Cabinets

Class III biological safety cabinets are gas-tight, designed for use with high risk biological agents. Class III cabinets provide the highest level of personnel, product and environmental protection. Because of the sensitive nature of most procedures performed within a Class III cabinet, Baker builds each BSC system to exact customer specifications.

Typical applications include:

  • Working with emerging diseases or diseases marked for near eradication.
  • Weighing and diluting chemical carcinogens.
  • Working with high concentrations of low to moderate risk agents.
  • Working with large amounts of low to moderate risk agents.
  • Use of equipment or instrumentation generating high aerosol volumes.
  • Maximum containment of highly infectious or hazardous experimental materials.
  • An extra level of safety not available in Class I or II cabinets.

Our Company: Committed to Ongoing Sustainability and Process Improvement

Baker is proud of its use of sustainable business practices. Low-energy light fixtures installed throughout our factory offer brighter light while using 50% less energy. Painting operations were overhauled from solvent-based to the more environmentally-friendly powder-based paints, practically eliminating harmful VOC emissions and toxic waste. Ongoing migration of all internal documentation into a paperless approach and expanding the product information available on our website is part of our commitment to preserving natural resources too.

Giving back

One of Baker's core philosophies is that we all have a responsibility to the community where we live and work. That’s why Baker is a proud supporter of the annual United Way workplace campaign. Every year, Baker employees contribute to the United Way of York County through voluntary payroll deductions that are matched by Baker. We are proud to be recognized with a Gold Participation Award year after year.

Employee giving also spreads to other areas in the community. Efforts include a yearly food drive for the York County homeless shelter, and also for the animal shelter in nearby Kennebunk. And, during the winter holidays, Baker supports a “Christmas Angels” effort for the Salvation Army, granting children's holiday wishes by purchasing clothes and toys.

Promoting Lab Safety and Environmental Protection

Baker also has a history of supporting our wider scientific community. Baker contributed significantly to the entire laboratory field around the globe through the founding of The Eagleson Institute, a nonprofit foundation dedicated to promoting the principles and practices of laboratory safety through seminars, online videos, scholarships, lectures and a worldwide referral service.

Our Company: Committed to Ongoing Sustainability and Process Improvement

Baker is proud of its use of sustainable business practices. Low-energy light fixtures installed throughout our factory offer brighter light while using 50% less energy. Painting operations were overhauled from solvent-based to the more environmentally-friendly powder-based paints, practically eliminating harmful VOC emissions and toxic waste. Ongoing migration of all internal documentation into a paperless approach and expanding the product information available on our website is part of our commitment to preserving natural resources too.

Classification is an important consideration in the selection of any biological safety cabinet. Over the years, the scientific community has adopted commonly accepted classification criteria to differentiate containment capabilities and performance attributes. Biological safety cabinets are divided into three classifications. Baker designs and manufactures all of these types of biosafety containment cabinets.

Use Contract Number GS-07F-0460Y
