DESCRIPTION: (Con’t)
315/317 SERIES FLO-THRU CO2 INCUBATORS:
CO2 levels are manually adjusted utilizing flowmeters. Flo-Thru control of
CO2 concentrations and temperature create a growth environment ideal for tissue
cultures, plants, cells, viruses and related organisms.
An incoming gas mixture passes through the plenum and is gently
circulated throughout the chamber. Separate flowmeters adjust air and CO2
rates and an access port on the control panel permits sampling of the chamber
atmosphere.
2 hydraulic thermostats: one is an adjustable setpoint control unit, the
other is a non-adjustable, over-temperature-limiting unit. It is factory pre-set to
regulate temperature in order to protect the chamber.
Heaters on the outside of the chamber inner walls are positioned for
uniform heat distribution, while high-density fiberglass insulation minimizes heat
loss.
A double-door system has a tempered glass inner door that provides
unobstructed viewing of the entire chamber.
Model 315 and 315-1 interiors are constructed of seamless stainless steel
for cleaning ease and maintenance. 2 stainless steel shelves are standard—a
total capacity is 5 shelves.
Models 317 and 317-1 have a seamless copper interior that acts to reduce
the growth of fungus and bacteria thereby minimizing contamination of
cultures. 2 copper shelves are standard with room for 3 additional shelves.
All models have a steel outer cabinet with a powder coated finish for easy
cleaning.
