Sheldon Manufacturing, Inc. introduces the SHEL LAB Model LI20P, the first widely available, environmentally friendly, thermoelectric cooled incubator designed for low temperature applications.

Using innovative thermoelectric cooling technology, Sheldon Manufacturing eliminates the need for a refrigeration compressor.

The result: a low temperature incubator that uses 78% less power than alternative models while reducing room air conditioning loads by producing 75% less heat.

“It’s cheaper to save energy than to buy it,” states Dan Sheldon, President of Sheldon Manufacturing, Inc. “Customers will save up to $450 per year on energy reductions from the thermoelectric cooling technology in the LI20P incubator.”

The LI20P features a heavy-duty shelving system. It eliminates sagging shelves with a 75-pound capacity per shelf. Tests have shown that the LI20P shelving system can hold up to three times the amount of weight as alternative models. The unit can hold up to 300 BOD bottles, and because of its superior temperature uniformity, customers can use all of the shelving space within the unit without worrying about sample degradation.

The LI20P is available through SHEL LAB distribution partners. For full product details go to the company article page.

IncubatorsLaboratory incubators are used to provide a stable environment to cultivate and store samples in, giving you optimal control of temperature, humidity, oxygen and CO<sub>2</sub> levels. 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. Find the best incubators in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Environmental Monitoring and TestingEnvironmental monitoring and testing uses handheld portable analyzers, kits, spectrometers or chromatography systems for air, water, soil, food and other sample testing. Useful features of analyzers such as BOD and COD include portability, easy calibration, automation and sensitivity.  Environmental test kits for pH, water, moisture, etc, should be accurate, sensitive, reliable, fast and easy to use.
