Case Study: Biological Safety Cabinets Assist In Cancer Research At The University Of Rochester

At the prestigious James P. Wilmot Cancer Center at the University of Rochester Medical Center (U.R.M.C.), Labconco biosafety cabinets and fume hoods are critical tools used by researchers in the fight against cancer. The Center is organized around a multidisciplinary care model, which leading cancer experts believe is the gold standard in cancer care. This means doctors, nurses, research scientists and support staff are all brought together under a single roof to raise the bar for cancer care. Doctors and scientists from many areas of expertise play active roles in providing the best possible care and make breakthrough treatments available faster.

The James P. Wilmot Cancer Center was completed in 2008 and is the newest addition to the University of Rochester Medical Center. The 164,000 square foot building includes 28,000 square feet dedicated to medical research. After evaluating several manufacturers, Labconco was the manufacturer chosen to supply the laboratory ventilation products for this new facility. Labconco's Protector® XL™ Fume Hoods and Purifier® Logic® Biosafety Cabinets keep the U.R.M.C. researchers safe while working in their labs to find breakthroughs in cancer treatment.
