LTE Scientific has launched the UK-made Caron range of large-capacity CO2 incubators for cell culture incubation into the UK market.
Caron's IR-CO2 incubators have a capacity of 708 litres and offer space-saving advantages.
Units have the ability to incorporate cell rollers and shakers where required.
Models can be provided within the temperature range of 5C to 60C or Amb+10C to 60C.
Relative humidity (RH) up to 95 per cent is provided via Caron's cVapor humidity system, which delivers humidity on an as-needed basis without wasting energy or generating heat.
The horizontal airflow system provides a uniform distribution and rapid recovery, even under heavy cabinet loads, according to LTE Scientific.
The IR sensor maintains CO2 levels in the range of 0-20 per cent.
The sensor measures only CO2, not temperature or RH, speeding up recovery times after the door has been opened.
As a result, samples will see virtually no increase in pH levels.
The Caron IR-CO2 model 6024 large-capacity system incorporates a moist heat decontaminations cycle.
At the push of a button, the decontamination cycle will eliminate microbial contamination (including mycoplasma) overnight.
The 90C decontamination cycle extends the time between manual cleaning cycles.
The heated triple-pane glass door provides total visibility of the load, minimises condensation and aids rapid temperature recovery.
As an option, all models can be fitted with Caron's condensate recirculating system, which uses tap water and continuously conditions and recycles, eliminating the need for permanent plumbing to water source or drain.
