Baker SterilGARDยฎ e3 Animal Transfer Station with Adjustable Mobile Lift Class II, Type A2
Quote
The Baker SterilGARD e3 Animal Transfer Station with Adjustable Mobile Lift Class II Type A2 combines advanced ergonomic design with proven HEPA filtration technology to provide triple-barrier protection for personnel, research animals, and the laboratory environment during cage change and transfer station procedures, making it an essential investment for high-throughput vivarium operations, preclinical research facilities, and academic animal care programs requiring IACUC-compliant containment solutions. This mobile biosafety workstation features Baker’s continuously adjustable electric-hydraulic lift system that enables technicians to position the work surface at any height between 22 inches and 40.5 inches, dramatically reducing musculoskeletal strain and operator fatigue during extended cage changing sessions while maintaining consistent HEPA-filtered containment performance throughout the entire height adjustment range. The integrated dual HEPA filtration system with supply and exhaust filters captures 99.99% of airborne particulates at 0.3 micrometers, protecting research animals from environmental contaminants while simultaneously preventing exposure of vivarium staff to allergens, dander, bedding dust, and potential zoonotic pathogens during routine animal vivarium equipment and supplies handling procedures.
Available in 64-inch and 88-inch work widths to accommodate diverse cage rack configurations and facility throughput requirements, the SterilGARD e3 animal transfer hood integrates seamlessly into existing vivarium workflows while providing superior mobility through its heavy-duty caster system and compact footprint that fits through standard laboratory doorways when positioned at minimum height. The station’s 10-degree slanted viewscreen maximizes product visibility during animal transfer procedures and cage manipulation tasks, while replaceable pre-filters positioned upstream of the main HEPA filters capture hair, dander, and bedding material to extend primary filter service life and reduce total cost of ownership across the equipment lifecycle. Baker’s proprietary airflow containment technology creates a unidirectional HEPA-filtered air curtain across the 12-inch sash opening that maintains Class II Type A2 certification standards even during dynamic cage movement and animal handling activities, ensuring consistent personnel protection and environmental containment in compliance with NSF/ANSI Standard 49 requirements for Class II A2 animal transfer stations and AAALAC accreditation criteria.
ARES Scientific is an authorized distributor for Baker, ensuring you receive genuine SterilGARD e3 products with full manufacturer warranty, comprehensive installation services, and ongoing technical support to maximize equipment performance and regulatory compliance throughout your facility’s operational lifecycle. The mobile transfer station’s electric motor with wireless remote control drives a precision hydraulic pump system that maintains work surface position even when power is removed, while the robust 10-gauge carbon steel frame construction supports load capacities up to 1,000 pounds to accommodate multiple cage racks, environmental enrichment supplies, and vivarium equipment during high-volume processing operations. This Baker animal containment workstation represents the optimal balance of operator comfort, containment performance, and operational flexibility for modern research animal facilities seeking to enhance worker safety, improve workflow efficiency, and maintain the highest standards of animal welfare and laboratory biosafety.
Description
Baker SterilGARD e3 Animal Transfer Station with Adjustable Mobile Lift Class II Type A2 โ Product Highlights
- Continuously adjustable electric-hydraulic lift system provides work surface positioning from 22 to 40.5 inches, enabling technicians to customize ergonomic height settings for individual body dimensions and specific procedural requirements, significantly reducing musculoskeletal strain, operator fatigue, and repetitive stress injuries during extended cage change procedures in high-throughput vivarium environments.
- Dual HEPA filtration system with 99.99% efficiency at 0.3 micrometers provides simultaneous protection for research animals and vivarium personnel by filtering supply air entering the work zone and exhaust air leaving the cabinet, creating a triple-barrier containment environment that prevents cross-contamination between animal colonies and protects staff from allergen exposure during routine animal handling tasks.
- Mobile design with heavy-duty 4-inch diameter casters and integrated pull bars enables rapid repositioning throughout vivarium facilities to support flexible workflow configurations, multiple-room cage changing operations, and temporary quarantine procedures while maintaining NSF/ANSI Standard 49 certification compliance when relocated and re-certified in new laboratory locations.
- 10-degree slanted viewscreen enhances visibility and product viewing during delicate animal transfer procedures, cage manipulation tasks, and environmental enrichment placement activities, reducing operator errors and improving animal welfare outcomes by providing clear sightlines across the entire work surface without compromising containment barrier integrity or personnel protection.
- Replaceable pre-filters extend primary HEPA filter service life by capturing hair, dander, and bedding material before they reach the main filtration system, reducing annual filter replacement costs, minimizing equipment downtime for maintenance procedures, and lowering total cost of ownership across the station’s operational lifespan in high-volume animal research facilities.
- 1,000-pound maximum load capacity with robust 10-gauge carbon steel frame accommodates multiple stacked cage racks, ventilated caging systems, environmental enrichment supplies, and vivarium equipment during intensive processing sessions, supporting high-throughput operations in large-scale breeding colonies, preclinical toxicology studies, and academic research programs with diverse animal housing requirements.
- 12-inch viewscreen sash opening optimized for cage rack access provides unrestricted entry for standard rodent housing systems, individually ventilated caging components, and specialized animal transport containers while maintaining the unidirectional airflow containment barrier required for Class II Type A2 certification and AAALAC accreditation standards in research animal facilities.
- Electric motor with wireless remote control drives precision hydraulic pump enabling hands-free height adjustment during active cage changing procedures, and maintains work surface position when power is removed to prevent sudden elevation changes that could startle animals or compromise containment performance during critical transfer operations.
- Available in 64-inch and 88-inch work widths to accommodate diverse vivarium facility layouts, cage rack configurations, and operational throughput requirements while maintaining consistent HEPA filtration performance, ergonomic benefits, and containment specifications across all model configurations for standardized training protocols and regulatory compliance documentation.
- ARES Scientific is an authorized distributor for Baker, ensuring you receive genuine products with full manufacturer warranty, expert installation and certification services, comprehensive operator training programs, and ongoing technical support to maximize equipment performance, ensure regulatory compliance, and maintain optimal animal welfare standards throughout your animal transfer station’s operational lifecycle.
