UK manufacturer, LTE Scientific, has launched an improved family of cooled incubators to replace its Qualicool range
All models in the new IC range use refrigerants R290 and R600a which have a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 3.
This, combined with lower energy consumption, could help lower running costs, according to the group.
The incubators incorporate a quiet fan circulation system which distributes the air throughout the chamber.
All models are designed to operate between +2C and +50C.
Three sizes are available, and the models can be supplied with either a white epoxy coated or stainless steel exterior finish.
Additionally the IC200 and IC400 models can also be supplied with double-glazed glass doors.
A major feature of the benchtop/underbench IC200 model is its usable chamber capacity of 80-litres, which makes it one of the largest under-bench cooled incubators available.
The IC400 has a 277-litre capacity and takes up 595mm x 640mm floor area.
IC Cooled Incubators are controlled via an electronic PID controller providing close temperature control and variation throughout the chambers.
For added safety, over-temperature protection is provided via a class 2 limiter.
