Click here to see the used and refurbished Baker fume hoods from American Instrument Exchange.

The Baker Company is known for their top-of-the-line biosafety cabinets and laminar flow clean benches, including the Baker SterilGARD SG403 and SG603 series BSCs, the SterilGARD SG404 and SG604 series BSCs, and the Baker Edgegard EG6252 clean benches. But did you know that Baker also makes terrific chemical fume hoods?

Baker Chemgard-RI

Take the Baker Chemgard-RI, for example. These 6’ wide chemical fume hoods are designed for use in radioisotope applications as well as more general applications to protect personnel from toxic and/or volatile chemicals by continuously delivering airflow away from the user to the work area. These models have a combo sash – glass panels that slide horizontally with a frame that allows all the panels to be raised vertically.  Combo sashes improve both operator safety and energy savings. The formed radii, precision-engineered, 16-gauge, Type 304 stainless steel, coved corners, water-tight welded and polished seams and a coved corner stainless steel work surface, 3⁄4″ deep, continuously welded to interior, allow for radioisotope applications and can be reinforced with lead shielding, or left as an easy-to-clean stainless steel worksurface for general chem applications. In short, the Chemigard-RI hoods are a great option for many labs.

Then there are the Baker Chemgard FH.6 models. These fume hoods also have stainless steel exteriors and interiors along with dual horizontal and vertical sashes. The energy-efficient design of these models reduces backdraft and turbulence as well as minimizes roll effect in airflow, which in turn minimizes concentration of vapors behind the view screen and sash.

So in addition to the more common Mott and Kewaunee fume hoods, please consider a hood from Baker. You can call or email us anytime for more details, including pricing and availability. Thanks!
