EAC-1000 Series
(Bensenville, Illinois, USA; Osaka, Japan; July 21, 2006) As federal, state, local and institutional laboratory safety guidelines undergo more aggressive review and codification in the wake of global terrorism threats, individual responsibility for safety of staff tracked usage and control of valuable medications, narcotics, reagents, media and stored or processed biologicals is becoming more commonly enforced at the bench level.
As a result, SANYO Biomedical has introduced the Lab Center Electronic Access Control-1000B (EAC-1000B) a highly engineered lock with a motor driven latch that is universally designed (surface mounted) to fit many brand or model refrigerator and freezer. This will allow researchers secure and trackable access to ultra-low and cryogenic freezers, CO2 incubators, refrigerators and other products used in biological research. Furthermore, the EAC-1000 Series provides control of the base EAC unit offers an electronic lock controlled by keypad with a non-volatile memory that stores 250 user IDs and audit trail of 1500 access attempts with date, time, and user ID. The basic module, EAC-1000B offers a 10-keypad for easy access. Also available is an EAC-1000B unit with a magnetic strip pod for secure confirmations with existing magnetic stripe cards, including credit cards. For proximity card users, Sanyo offers an EAC-1000B unit with a proximity HID pod for non-contact proximity based system that uses standard HID Corporation proximity cards.
Sanyo offers optional tracking and control WindowsTM based software that allows for viewing and downloading of audit trails on single lock or multiple locks. Additionally the Lockview software features a platform for creating, controlling and customizing rights to users and can manage multiple locks.
Tighter security restrictions imposed by secure access control technologies allows laboratory safety officers and researchers to comply with many governmental and institutional policies formulated to address plant, animal and human pathogens, recombinant DNA, human cell cultures, non-human derived products, cultured stocks and biotoxins typically processed or stored in Biomedical laboratory products.
