Thermo Fisher Scientific has introduced the Thermo Scientific Heraeus BK 800 refrigerated incubator for storage of valuable substances at, or below, ambient temperatures.
With a compact footprint of 0.3m2 and a large capacity of 220 litres, the company said the unit provides a space-saving solution for the laboratory.
This easy-to-use, CE-certified unit has obtained good energy efficiency ratings, making it environmentally friendly and cost-effective.
Providing a homogenous, stable environment with good temperature uniformity ranging from 3C to 40C, the Heraeus BK 800 incubator is ideal for a range of applications, including sample and media storage, microbiological testing and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) protocols.
With two internal electrical sockets, the Heraeus BK 800 refrigerated incubator can accommodate stirrers, shakers and lights as well as other equipment that can be time-controlled for defined cycles.
An impact-proof interior with rounded edges makes the unit easy to clean, minimising the risk of contamination from unwanted micro-organisms.
Furthermore, all internal shelves and supports are easily removable to aid the cleaning process.
The inclusion of a reversible door enables left- or right-handed opening and the door gaskets are simple to replace.
With an easy-to-use soft touch-control panel, user-friendly operation is facilitated and the unit is easy to set-up within the laboratory, using the built-in rear wheels.
