Biosafety cabinets for coronavirus research – available from American Instrument Exchange

Click here to see our current inventory of used and refurbished biosafety cabinets.

Since last weeks’ post on biosafety cabinets we’ve gotten calls from several labs looking to quickly acquire a fully tested, ready-to-go Class II Type A2 biosafety cabinet in order to begin testing for coronavirus.

We have hundreds of biosafety cabinets in stock and available, including 3’, 4’, 5’ and 6’ wide models from a variety of manufacturers including The Baker Company, Nuaire, Labconco, and more. Prices range from around $4,500 for smaller, older models to $9,500 for more recent date-of-manufacture models. All our biosafety cabinets include new HEPA filters and most include stands.

Our best selling models include the Baker SG403 and Baker SG603. Though these are not the newest model on the market they have an earned reputation as dependable, top of the line products. We are also big fans of the Baker SG604 – an updated, energy efficient model that provides up to 60% increased operating efficiency. We’ve also been selling lots of Nuaire NU-425-400 and NU-425-600 units. These are workhorses and a cost-effective solution to quickly getting a fully functioning, ready to use biosafety cabinet into your lab.

Installing new HEPA filters saves our customers both money and time. At a cost of up to $1,000 per set the filters themselves are expensive, and after factoring travel and labor cost the installed price can be significantly higher. Unlike untrained or inexperienced personnel, our trained and skilled technicians have decades of experience handling delicate HEPA filters and can install them quickly and with little risk of damage.

The sooner we receive an order from you the sooner we can begin installing filters and getting the biosafety cabinets tested, packed, and shipping.

Please call or email us today for more information on current inventory and availability. Thanks!

Used Lab Equipment Boston – March 2020 recent arrivals

Click here to see the used and refurbished lab equipment from American Instrument Exchange.

As usual we’ve been selling biosafety cabinets like crazy for the past few months, so we’re constantly resupplying our stock of Baker SG403 and SG603 models as well as NuAire NU-425-600 units and Thermo 1300 series units. We’ve also had some other nice equipment coming in – see some of the highlights below!

We’re really excited to have an Avestin Emulsiflex C3 homogenizer in stock. Avestin products are well designed, reliable, and effective, and on top of all that Avestin is a great company to work with. All of their employees are both knowledgeable and friendly. We always recommend that customers contact Avestin for installation and training. We actually had one of their technicians come by our shop to take a look at this C3. It’s a lab scale, electric motor driven, high pressure homogenizer that rapidly reduces particles and droplets from micron to nanometer sizes. The Emulsiflex C3uses a dynamic homogenizing valve. The benefit of a dynamic valve is that the samples are processed at a constant homogenizing pressure. This produces very uniform liposomes and micro emulsions with a narrow particle size distribution. We’ve replaced a gauge and some fittings and this unit has now been fully tested and is ready to ship!

Another unit we’re excited about is the Esco Airstream horizontal laminar flow clean bench. This unit is a 6’ wide model and includes the stand and a new filter. It features built-in tempered glass sides, external rotor motor system, variable speed control. The interior surface will not chip, rust or generate particles. The spillage-retention work top design with a recessed central area ensures that all liquid spills are contained. The high quality ULPA filters, utilizing an improved mini-pleat separation technique to maximize surface area, improve efficiency and extend filter life. Filters operate at a typical efficiency of >99.999% at 0.1 to 0.3-micron sizes, providing superior product protection over conventional HEPA filters.

If you’re looking for a large capacity glass door refrigerator, you should consider this True GDM-69 three door model. We received a few of these and their all in very nice condition. Each unit has a 62 cubic foot storage capacity, temperature range from 0.5°C to 3.33°C, and low-e thermal glass sliding doors.

And speaking of large storage capacity, this Darwin DB052 refrigerated incubator is a great option. With 52 cubic feet of storage space and a temperature range from 4°C to 60°C, this unit can be used for a variety of different applications requiring temperature stability for sensitive sample storage. The stainless-steel exterior is easy to clean and looks sleek, too.

We also have a Thermo Scientific MaxQ 8000 incubator shaker in stock. This model features a HEPA filter that ensures the air inside the chamber remains clean and reduces cross contamination, feature a slide out platform that provides convenient 100% sample access. Temperature range is 10°C above ambient up to 60°C, with a 2.5cm orbit on the shaking platform and shaking speed up to 400rpm. The MaxQ 8000 has a fold-down door with ergonomically designed door handle, large quick-release base, and dedicated or universal slide-out shaker platform provide convenient access to your product, regardless of its position on the 29.5” x 18” platform. And the flip-down handle/latch on the quick-release base prevents the shaker from running if the universal or dedicated platform is not secured.

As always we have some nice rotary evaporator systems available, including a Buchi R-215 and an R-210 that recently arrived. All of our rotary evaporator systems include full glassware assemblies with ‘cold finger’ dry ice condensers (water cooled coil condensers are available for an additional cost). Both of these systems include a vacuum controller, vacuum pump, and heating bath.

This isn’t even close to a complete list of all the used lab equipment that has arrived at American Instrument Exchange recently – these are just some of the highlights. You can visit our website for a full list of our current inventory, and of course feel free to give us a call or email with any questions. Thanks!
