The IVS-1203 Personal Incubators from IKS International allow individual laboratory workers to store samples at their workplace under personally selected conditions.
These incubators are small enough to be easily accommodated in laminar flow cabinets and other situations where a conventional incubator may be too large.
There are two models, both with a capacity of nine litres and measuring 290 x 345 x 370mm.
The IVS-1203PS has a temperature range from ambient 5 to 45C.
The cooled version, the IVS-1203P1S, has a range from 10 to 45C.
Forced air-circulation ensures even temperature distribution; digitally set and displayed Peltier-effect heating and cooling give accurate temperature control (+/- 0.2C).
These incubators weigh only 4.2kg for ease of handling and are ruggedly constructed, largely from ABS plastic.
A height-adjustable polycarbonate sample tray is supplied with each unit.
These units are popular in IVF, medical and pharmaceutical laboratories, where traceability and validation are very important; if required, a temperature sensor port gives full access to IKS's Xiltrix laboratory monitoring, recording and alarm system.
