Esco Technologies Inc. , a world leader in laboratory equipment, has won orders from Wistar Institute to supply a significant number of biological safety cabinets to its newest vivarium and research facilities located in West Philadelphia.

 

The Wistar Institute is America's first independent institution devoted to medical research and training. The Wistar Institute has evolved from its beginnings as an anatomical teaching museum to its present-day status as an international leader in basic biomedical research. It adds to the prestigious list of customers that includes the World Health Organization, MIT and Princeton University. The project will be delivered in the first quarter of 2013.

 

This facility will be equipped with Esco's Labculture Class II Type A2 biosafety cabinet which is also the world's most certified BSC. Its modern and ergonomic designs help ensure a very high level of working comfort for the operators. Some of the features include the 10 degree sloped front design, low noise levels, warm 5000K lighting and the popular raised arm rest.

 

This project also profits from Esco's close proximity to site. Esco has the ability to provide fast delivery, installation and technical service support directly right from its Philadelphia head office which also houses its nationwide service center and warehouse. The increased development of biotech research in the Philadelphia area is an extremely encouraging trend. It will continue to be an important focus area for Esco's long-term growth.
