As science and technology continue to advance, the need for more cutting-edge laboratory equipment increases, so that even more advances can be made.
In many areas of science, highly sanitary or environment-controlled systems are necessary for vital research and analysis to be carried out. The Baker Company (parent of Baker Ruskinn) has been been at the forefront of engineering, testing and production of laboratory contamination control equipment for almost 7 decades. In 2011, Baker aquired Ruskinn Technologies Ltd, now recognised as Baker Ruskinn.
Baker Ruskinn is renowned for its closed cell culture expertise, which Baker combines with it's own aseptic processing and containment technologies.
Using the latest state-of-the-art technology, Baker brands are constantly creating innovative new products to make work and research within these sectors as effective as possible; they even designed a purpose-built solution for NASA in 1979.
One of the innovations from Baker Ruskinn is Concept. Concept is a range of anaerobic workstations with HEPA filtration and electronically controlled temperature and humidity levels, designed to create an efficient and reliable low- or no-oxygen incubator in any laboratory. The Concept range consists of an interlock chamber and the main workstation chamber; samples are placed into the interlock chamber where the oxygen is removed, and are then transferred into the workstation chamber on the interlock tray.
In order for the interlock tray to move smoothly from the interlock to the workstation chamber, Baker Ruskinn required a reliable set of slides.
Albert Jagger, a distributor of industrial hardware with more than a century’s experience, recommended three slides for the job.
The light-duty slide makes it ideal for moving the interlock tray from the interlock chamber to the workstation and back again, and its centre detent keeps hardware steady when closed. The slide has 100%+ extension, offering a wide range of movement, the light duty slide is suitable for small spaces such as this.
