The Orbital Incubator: A Sanyo-Gallenkamp Exclusive:
The Orbital incubator is available either in a Standard Unit or in a refrigerated unit. Both models incorporate microprocessor control for both temperature and agitation speed. A new platform has been designed which accepts standard conical flasks from 25ml to 2000ml. Provision has been made to allow alternative atmospheres to be introduced to the chamber if required. The wide 32mm orbit allows maximum agitation of samples on the platform with the minimum amount of buffeting. Speeds of 20 and 400 RPMs can be set and controlled repeatedly. An independent over-temperature protection thermostat protects the culture from excessive heating. The platform ceases rotation when opened for operator safety. A new state-of-the art programmer allows the operator to use the incubator to maximum potential.
The Refrigerated Unit
provides all the features and functionality of the standard
configuration but includes refrigeration which allows incubation
at temperatures down to 20 degrees centigrade. The model, like
all SANYO products, is CFC free using the latest
technology available.
An Illuminated Refrigeration Unit is available where photosynthesis forms part of the culture. Fluorescent lights (6 x 30W) are built into the lid to offer a maximum of 10,200 lux. The new orbital incubator has a variable controller to adjust the light from 20 - 100% in 1% intervals. This advanced system gives superior light distribution over the competition. Further, this unit automatically controls temperature changes which can be linked with the option of controlling the light intensity and speed of the platform.
