Singapore February 23, 2010 -- Esco announces its Frontier Acela Fume Hood product line has been independently certified by Exposure Control Technologies (ECT), Inc. USA, to stringent American safety standards.

The Frontier Acela Fume Hood submitted to ECT's state-of-the-art testing facility in North Carolina, USA, was subjected to a battery of tests exceeding the requirements of the ANSI/ASHRAE-110 standard, along with adaptations required by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

"The independent validation of our Frontier Acela Fume Hoods is a significant milestone for Esco," said XQ Lin, Esco Vice President. "These tests involved the simulation of highly demanding as-used configurations, with the use of reduced height mannikins and the simulation of sash movement effects. They prove that the Frontier Acela will deliver superior containment even at low face velocities, in the most challenging customer environments."

Launched in 2009, patented Frontier Acela Fume Hoods are the industry's greenest and most ergonomic fume hood product line. Frontier Acela Fume Hoods are available in a complete range of widths, in Benchtop General Purpose, Perchloric Acid, Radioisotope, PVC Acid Digestion, and Floor Mounted (Walk-In) configurations, with a complete range of options and accessories.
