Product news

This new 30 cu. ft. incubator from LTE provides precise control of temperature, relative humidity and CO2, whilst offering the latest sensor technology, including infrared (IR) CO2.

The temperature within the chamber is controlled within a range of 5°C above ambient to 60°C, with a drift-resistant RTD sensor.

Humidity is controlled from ambient to 95% RH utilizing a capacitive sensor. Water is injected on an as-needed basis to maintain a precisely controlled environment. The need for humidity pans, which can result in contamination and corrosion, is therefore eliminated. Humidity levels can be controlled at any temperature set point without recalibration.

The CO2 range of 0 to 20% is controlled through the use of an IR (infrared) sensor. IR CO2 sensors are much more stable and drift resistant than conventional T/C (thermal conductivity) sensors. As the IR CO2 sensor is not affected by temperature or humidity changes, the chamber recovers CO2 levels without any delay following opening of the chamber, typically CO2 recovery is as much as 10 times faster than seen on units with T/C sensors.

A carefully designed horizontal airflow system generates evenly distributed airflow across all shelf locations. Maximum uniformity and rapid recovery are maintained even under heavy cabinet loads.

-Sliding stainless steel shelves are easily adjustable to facilitate product handling, and allow easy access to samples at the rear of the chamber.

-Stainless steel interior is easily cleaned and highly resistant to corrosion.

-The ergonomically designed door handle allows easy access into the chamber.

-Heated, triple-pane glass door minimizes condensation on the door for a clear view of your valuable samples, and aids in rapid temperature recovery.

-Lockable control panel minimizes the possibility of unauthorized access.

-Two access ports, one on each side of the chamber, make validation easy and provide easy access for the connection of ancillary instrumentation.

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins.

Incubators are necessary equipment for cell culture and microbial research. Control temperature with heated or refrigerated incubators, or the levels of CO<sub>2</sub> and oxygen with CO<sub>2</sub> incubators. Using environmental chambers, create a humid climate for testing samples.
