Orbital Incubators

 

The Contherm Biosyn Orbital Incubator is ideally suited to culturing micro-organisms and cells under strict conditions of temperature, time, light and agitation. The constant motion allows effective aeration with the wide orbital action reducing buffeting of shear-sensitive cells. With separate displays for each parameter and an easy-to-use digital control panel, Contherm’s proven PLCS5 microprocessor-based, EEROM-backed control system offers self-diagnostic alarm displays with automatic high/low limit protection, user-adjustable firmware, and LED-based readout. The platform will accept standard conical flasks from 25ml. to 2000ml., and the clips used to retain the flasks screw directly onto the platform. Orbital speeds between 20 and 400 r.p.m. can be set and controlled using state-of-the-art inverter technology. Accurate temperature control between 0º C to +60ºC can be attained with the BIOSYN Orbital 

 

Incubator, with an impeller-driven air system assuring even circulation and diffusion of conditioned air through specimens. The sealed, energy-efficient refrigeration system incorporates a unique hot-gas control for continuous operation and automatic defrosting, with all functions under the control of the microprocessor. Lighting is programmable in four steps to maximum levels in the RP6 model, with 6 x 30W fluorescent lights built into the lid. The Contherm BIOSYN Orbital Incubator features an attractive, corrosion-resistant finish on steel exterior, and polished stainless steel interior to assure a long service life.
