Sheldon Manufacturing has introduced the Shel Lab model LI20P environmentally friendly, thermoelectric-cooled incubator designed for low-temperature applications.
The company said that the thermoelectric cooling technology eliminates the requirement for a refrigeration compressor.
The result is a low-temperature incubator that uses 78 per cent less power than alternative models while reducing room air-conditioning loads by producing 75 per cent less heat.
The LI20P features a heavy-duty shelving system, which eliminates sagging shelves with a 75lb capacity per shelf.
Tests have shown that the LI20P shelving system can hold up to three times the amount of weight as alternative models.
The unit can hold up to 300 BOD bottles.
Its excellent temperature uniformity means customers can use all of the shelving space within the unit without worrying about sample degradation.
The LI20P is available through Shel Lab distribution partners.
