INTRODUCTION AND WELCOME
It is a pleasure to welcome you to the growing number of customers who own and operate Baker laboratory
products. As the inventors of the laminar flow biological safety cabinet and the leaders in the field, Baker
people take special pride in providing a product that is designed for maximum performance.
Your new SterilGARD
®
e
3
cabinet includes many unique features which are included to give you superior
performance, more simple maintenance and lower life cycle cost. The SterilGARD
®
e
3
is a Class II, Type A2
biosafety cabinet that provides personnel, product, and environmental protection. The SterilGARD
®
e
3
is
suitable for research and clinical diagnostic work involving tissue culturing of possibly infectious samples, IV
drug preparations and other pharmaceuticals that could have adverse health effects on operators and other
techniques requiring a contamination-free atmosphere.
In addition to the high quality you expect from all Baker equipment, this model has been designed to provide
the lab user with the most comfortable work environment possible. The ergonomic design will help prevent
repetitive motion injury, reduce fatigue and lab accidents and enhance productivity.
Baker’s exclusive e3 (Energy Efficient Engineered) product line also offers reductions in noise and electrical
power consumption without sacrificing the superior performance of a Baker cabinet.
The adequacy of a cabinet for user safety should be determined on-site by an industrial hygienist, safety
officer or other qualified person. Remember that you, the owner and user, are ultimately responsible and that
you use your cabinet at your own risk.
We recommend that this manual, along with the factory test report, be kept near the cabinet for
convenient
reference by operators and qualified maintenance personnel. If you have any questions about the use or care of
your new SterilGARD
®
e
3
cabinet, please do not hesitate to contact our Customer Service Department
at
1-800-992-2537
for assistance or e-mail us at

Sincerely,
David Eagleson
President
The Baker Company, Inc.
