TheSafe,EnergyEfficientSolutionforModernChemistry

Ductless Fume Hoods

Esco Ascent Ductless Fume Hoods provide protection to

both laboratory personnel and the environment from toxic

fumes.

Esco Ascent Ductless Fume Hoods are

quickly becoming a viable alternative

to conventional fume hoods. Unlike

conventional fume hoods, these hoods

filter out chemical fumes and recycle

air directly back to the laboratory,

providing energy savings, personnel and

environmental protection, convenience as

you do not have to deal with complicated

ducting systems, and mobility, since

ductless hoods are independent systems

which do not require connection to

extraction systems.

Esco duct less fume hoods a re

independently tested by INVENT-UK

for the ability to filter contaminated air

with efficiency and retention capacity

as required by the British Standard BS

7989 and French Standard AFNOR NF X

15-211. Fume containment and airflow

uniformity meet the requirements

of ASHRAE 110-1995, BS 7258,

EN 14175-3 and AFNOR NF X 15-203. The

Esco combination of high performance

and carbon filtration opens new, cost

effective applications for fume hood

technology in schools, classrooms and

laboratories. Associated products include

Esco chemical storage cabinets.

Esco In Vitro Fertilization Workstations

In Vitro Fertilization Workstations

A controlled work environment is of high

priority due to the complexity of the

process. This includes hygienic conditions

to minimize microbial contamination, a

warmed work surface for the sustenance

of biological matter and provisions for the

use of microscopes.

The Labculture IVF workstat ion

incorporates a number of features to

ensure operator comfort and enhanced

productivity:

• Theworkstationinteriorisconstructed

of stainless steel, making the work zone

easy to clean. The interior surface will

not chip, rust or generate particles.

• The ergonomically designedwork

surface with a curved front edge

is designed for maximum operator

comfort.

• Built-inwarmwhite, electronically

ballasted, 5000k lighting provides

excellent illumination of the work

zone and reduces operator fatigue. The

reliable lighting system is zero-flicker

and instant start.

• Theremovableperforatedfilterdiffuser

provides protection to the filter and

improves airflow uniformity.

Laboratory fume hoods serve to control exposure to toxic, offensive or flammable vapors, gases and aerosols.

Pictured: Esco Laboratory Fume Hoods

LaminarTopographyandPerfectProtectionPerimeter

Laboratory Fume Hoods

The laboratory fume hood is a type of local exhaust ventilation system (engineering control). A typical fume hood is a cabinet with a moveable front sash (window) made out of safety glass. A properly used and functioning fume hood exhausts hazardous gases, dusts, mists, and vapors from a confined location and helps protect workers from inhalation exposure.

Esco fume hoods have been independently tested by INVENT-UK to pass the American standard ASHRAE 110-1995 and British Standard BS 7258 (determining fume containment capability). They have also been successfully tested for fume containment specified in the European Standard EN 14175-3.

Esco Reliable Solution for PCR Process

PCR Products

Esco PCR products are used in genomics, proteomics, molecular biology and forensic sciences where DNA amplification is required.

Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is an

in vitro method of nucleic acid synthesis

useful in the detection and analysis of

DNA and RNA in cell and molecular

biology investigations. Through PCR,

a small, unique segment of DNA can

be specifically replicated, exponentially

amplified and easily analyzed. Because

PCR depends on repeated cycles of

heating and cooling within a sample

block, rapid temperature ramping, precise

temperature control, block uniformity

and flexible segment programming are

essential performance attributes of a

Thermal Cycler.

Esco offers a choice of Conventional

Thermal Cycler and Real Time Thermal

Cycler models designed to meet critical

requirements for all kinds of PCR

processes, such as, Gradient PCR, Touch

down PCR, High throughput PCR, in

situ PCR and so on, using a variety of

PCR tubes, strips, plates and slides. The

Swift thermal cyclers use state of the art

Peltier temperature control technology

to achieve and maintain precise control

and fast ramp rates with minimal over

or under-shoot for process speed and

accuracy.

Esco real-time and programmable thermal

cyclers, shaking micro incubators and

accessories fulfill an emerging demand

for complementary products found in

the same laboratory environments as

the company’s clean air and laminar flow

line.
