Baker ChemoSHIELD CS600 Negative Pressure Biosafety Cabinet for Laboratory Use

The Baker ChemoSHIELD CS600 is a negative pressure biosafety cabinet designed specifically for laboratory environments requiring stringent air containment and isolation. This barrier isolator supports critical workflows in molecular diagnostics, bioprocessing, and biomanufacturing by providing a controlled, contaminant-free workspace.

• Airflow and Containment: Operates with a 375 CFM airflow rate through an 8-inch duct diameter, entirely dependent on the facility's exhaust system, eliminating internal blowers and reducing maintenance complexity. Air recirculation is 0%, ensuring 100% exhaust of hazardous particles.
• Workspace Dimensions: Interior workspace measures 46" (W) x 24" (D) x 25⅜" (H), offering ample room for safe handling of biological materials and gene editing procedures within a confined negative pressure environment.
• Physical Specifications: Cabinet footprint is 75" x 35¾" with adjustable height from approximately 85" to 93½". The unit weighs 310.26 kg (684 lbs), designed for stability and durability in clinical diagnostics and synthetic biology labs.
• Lighting and Visibility: Provides well-distributed illumination with 45-50 foot-candles ensuring clear visibility during live-cell imaging, fluorescence analysis, and other sensitive biotechnological applications.
• Maintenance and Operation: Free of onboard motors or blowers, relying fully on external exhaust infrastructure, reducing operational noise and maintenance frequency. Regular preventative maintenance, including filter replacement, is recommended to maintain optimal performance.
• Applications: Essential for molecular cloning workflows, synthetic biology research, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines where containment of hazardous vapors and aerosols is critical.

This cabinet’s negative pressure design is widely adopted in biotechnology and clinical laboratory fields to ensure operator protection and sample integrity during chemo-agent and pathogen handling. Its reliance on facility exhaust systems makes it ideal for integration into existing biocontainment infrastructure.
