Labconco's New Logic® Biosafety Cabinet Revolutionizes Laboratory Safety and Performance – Again
Labconco's redesignedLogic® Biosafety Cabinet (BSC), integrating over 50 years of biosafety expertise with technological advancements to support the evolving needs of today’s laboratories.
Every feature of the new Logic BSChas been re-examined, re-engineered and reimagined, introducing many innovative features. At the core is Logic OS, accessed through an innovative 5” touchscreen interface within the cabinet interior. This updated interface brings enhanced safety and convenience, while delivering up to a 30% reduction in energy consumption, quieter performance and longer filter life. Comprehensive system performance, alerts and data logging are all just a touch way, or accessible remotely. Labconco’s trusted CAP™ technology combined with energy-saving ECM blowers, automatically saves energy and enhances end-user safety.
"The redesigned Logic BSC sets a new standard in biosafety cabinets,” said Labconco’s Director of Biosafety Products David Wasescha. "By integrating cutting-edge technology with our extensive biosafety expertise, we’ve designed a cabinet that offers superior protection and efficiency, with comfort enhancements for users.”
The Logic BSC ensures unmatched protection for personnel, products and your laboratory environment when working with biohazardous samples. Suitable for BSL 1-4 laboratories, it provides comprehensive particulate protection and an ISO Class 5 working environment, offering exceptional value and product protection.
"The design of the new Logic BSC is the result of countless discussions with our biosafety cabinet users,” Wasescha said. "The technology and user-centric design behind this cabinet make it an indispensable tool for any and all life science work requiring personnel and product protection.”
The advanced features of the Logic BSC are designed to solve key workflow challenges. The intuitive Logic OS display simplifies access to important information, reducing downtime and boosting workflow efficiency. Its ergonomic design reduces user fatigue, allowing for longer, more comfortable work sessions. Labconco also introduces the Mag-Zone™ area to the Logic BSC – an innovative way to store pipettes, biohazard waste and more within the cabinet without compromising cleanability. Between uses, activate Night-Smart™ mode to keep the cabinet environment sterile while saving energy.
For nearly a century, Labconco has led the way in laboratory equipment innovation, creating products that epitomize safety, quality and cutting-edge technology. The redesigned Logic BSC exemplifies its commitment to the scientific community, empowering researchers to push the boundaries of discovery and redefine the future of laboratory research.
