Following the expansion of the Galaxy range of CO2 incubators over the past two years, RS Biotech has doubled the size of its manufacturing facility in Scotland
Innovative features that have contributed to the success of the Galaxy R, S, and B incubators include self-monitoring infrared CO2 sensing and maximum space efficiency design.
Equipped with state of the art electronics, an upgraded version of the Galaxy S has recently been launched which now offers a programmable auto zero function on the CO2 function as standard and the option of a model with high temperature decontamination.
With an extensive range of model options, the Galaxy R offers additional features such as CO2 pressure sensing and a help menu displayed on a large high resolution graphics/text screen.
Digital and/or graphic downloadable data logging is also included, together with diagnostics, which significantly reduces the need for engineer site visits and therefore costs.
An invaluable proactive 'intelligent' control system automatically optimises conditions within the chamber.
In all models, the risk of contamination is kept to a minimum with the use of thermodynamic convection instead of a fan.
The resulting rapid response to any change in conditions ensures the maintenance of stable temperatures and CO2 homogeneity at all times.
The success of these Galaxy incubators in the market has led to further expansion of the range, with new models currently in development to be launched by the end of the year.
