A redesign of the lab casework was necessary to accommodate three 6� A2 BSCs in the space to support her research program.� BSCs are an essential part of a laboratory, providing personnel and environmental protection from biological hazards being used inside the cabinet and sample protection from contamination by creating a sterile work environment inside the cabinet.� These cabinets will be used for routine cell culture procedures as well as BSL2 virus and prion work.� In order to meet DRM spacing requirements around BSCs for optimum safe usage, specifically sized casework is required. Description of the supplies/services to be purchased Complete common generic identification of the item required:� painted metal casework with 6� deep island cores, painted metal shelving with bookend style brackets and seismic restraints, 1� thick black epoxy worksurfaces, black epoxy drop-in sink, clear acrylic splash guard/drying rack Applicable model, make, or catalog number for each brand name product referenced:� Mott Manufacturing Sigma Flex casework, Durcon epoxy drop-in sink, Interdyne acrylic splash guard/drying rack Mott lab casework provides Sigma Flex adaptable laboratory casework that allows for flexibility and adaptability of casework for the future.� The Sigma Flex system incorporates a standard core assembly from which upper and lower storage components and work surfaces are cantilevered.� The adaptable and flexible nature of this casework is desired to allow for future reconfiguration possibilities without damaging the casework, flooring or walls in the lab. Mott lab casework can be installed and reconfigured with minimal down time, use of basic skills and without special tools.� This is ideal for our situation, allowing us to make use of the ORF team for a fast and reliable installation. Mott lab casework in Sigma Flex is the only adaptable/modular casework that allows for a 6� core assembly.� The island cores need to be brought down to a depth of 6� to accommodate the DRM space requirements for BSCs throughout the lab.� All other modular casework shows a minimum of 12 or 14� core assemblies in their lines.
