The Thermo Scientific Heraeus BK 800 refrigerated incubator is suitable for the storage of valuable substances at, or below, ambient temperatures. With a compact footprint of 0.3m2 and a large capacity of 220L, the company says it is an innovative space-saving solution for the laboratory.
The CE certified unit provides a homogenous, stable environment with superior temperature uniformity ranging from 3 to 40°C, making it ideal for applications including sample and media storage, microbiological testing and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) protocols, the company says.
With two internal electrical sockets, the Heraeus BK 800 can accommodate stirrers, shakers and lights as well as other equipment that can be time controlled for defined cycles. An impact-proof interior with rounded edges makes the unit easy to clean, minimising the risk of contamination. Furthermore, all internal shelves and supports are easily removable to aid the cleaning process. The inclusion of a reversible door enables left- or right-handed opening and the door gaskets are simple to replace. Other features include a soft touch control panel and built-in rear wheels.
