Torrey Pines Scientific chilling/heating benchtop incubators

Torrey Pines Scientific has released a range of fully programmable, chilling/heating, benchtop incubators with temperature ramping for use in pharmaceutical, biotech, biochemistry, clinical, general chemistry and other laboratories.

Typical applications include protein crystal growth, culture growth above, below, or at room temperature, enzyme reactions and deactivations, incubating marine cultures, ligations, hybridisations, storing oocytes and DNA libraries and much more.

The models IN35 and IN45 are Peltier-based units with no compressors or CFCs. They have 27.5 and 55 L volumes respectively.

The temperature range is from 4.0 to 70.0°C with control to 0.1°C (even at room temperature). The fully programmable controls are capable of storing three routines in memory, with each routine capable of ten steps.

Each program step is a temperature, time and a temperature ramping rate (if required). Each program can be made to repeat from 1 to 99 times automatically. Programs are stored in CMOS for instant recall and use at any time.

Units have an RS232 interface for data collection and 99-day timer readable to 1 s and are UL, CSA and CE listed.
