Torrey Pines Scientific announces NEW EchoTherm™ Stackable/ Programmable Vibration Free Chilling Incubators for protein crystallography and other life science uses.

The incubators are 27 liter capacity and Peltier-based for heating and chilling. They have no compressors or CFC's and are vibration-free making them ideal for doing protein crystallizations.

Other applications include incubating marine samples below room temperature, enzyme reactions and deactivations, hybridizations, ligations, storing oocytes, and general lab incubations.

Three units may be stacked using two stacker accessories Model IN30-300.

The IN35 is a fully programmable unit that can store 3 programs in memory and features precise temperature ramping both up and down. Temperatures are settable form 4.0ºC to 70.0ºC controllable to ± 0.1°C, and accuracy to ± 0.2ºC.

They have an RS232 I/O port for remote control and data collection, digital timer in hours, minutes and seconds with user settable Auto-Off, and audible alarms.

Chamber size is 12" high by 10" deep by 14" wide and come with two stainless steel racks with room for four.

The units are shipped with universal power supplies for use anywhere in the world off local line voltages, AC line cord for the country of use, user's manual and full 12 month warranty. They are UL, CSA, and CE compliant.

Refrigerators Freezers and CryogenicsRefrigerators, Freezers & Cryogenics can be used for preservation or experimental purposes. Types of freezers include deep freeze, -80C°C, ultra-low temperature, explosion proof, cryogenic and controlled rate freezers. Freezing is also used in freeze-drying equipment for dehydration processes. Feature to consider in freezers include temperature control and recorders, failure alarms and self-closing mechanisms.Protein CrystallographyProtein crystallization is the process of crystallizing purified proteins for 3D structure analysis by x-ray crystallography. The main methods of protein crystallization include sitting drop, hanging drop and microbatch. It is important to control parameters such as pH, temperature and concentration. Following crystallization, detectors and software are used for data collection and analysis.Temperature ControlTemperature controlled processes are experiments carried out using ovens, furnaces, incubators, hotplates, refrigeration and freezers.Cooled Incubators
