Available through Jencons-PLS, the Rumed 3000 series cooled incubators can be adapted to suit the specific requirements of the user by adding the accessories including programme control, lighting, and humidity.
However, because these Rumed incubators are so well constructed and are virtually free from vibrations, they are ideal for growing protein crystals says Jencons.
The exterior housing of the Rumed 3000 series consists of white painted, zinc-plated steel.
A particularly efficient insulation is achieved by high-quality CFC-free polyurethane foam, so that the preset temperature can be kept constant with minimum energy usage.
The internal chamber of the cabinets is constructed of shock-resistant plastic material.
The entire chamber is easy to clean due to the smooth surface and rounded edges and corners. The door can be opened 180deg to enable access to the whole of the interior space and, if observation of specimens is desired, the cabinets can be equipped with a glass door.
The controlled door-frame heating avoids condensation build-up around the door seal and a PVC-coated magnetic seal within the frame seals the door completely.
Variation in temperature within the cabinets is virtually eliminated due to the low mass of the heater which, along with the solid state relay, allows for extremely accurate and precise temperature control.
The compressor runs quietly and efficiently and is largely free from vibrations.
The chamber can be equipped with fluorescent tubes if required, which can be installed at the rear or on the side panels.
A timer can also be installed.
Although the Rumed 3000 series cooled incubators are ideally suited to crystal growth applications, there are many other areas of application, such as microbiology, bacteriology, seed research, zoology, botany, pharmacy and the electronics industry.
