The ST-Series of CO2 incubators utilize proprietary heat distribution technology
- Digital, precise control of relative humidity (up to 95%)
- High heat decontamination (8 hours at 125C)
- Split inner-door, for access to samples without full chamber exposure
With our unique and proprietary heat distribution technology, the Benchmark ST Series of CO2 incubators provide the highest levels of temperature accuracy with minimal fluctuation (within 0.1°C). The six-side heating system, in combination with a low speed internal fan, uniformly spreads air throughout the chamber (without air exchange from the external environment). The chamber walls are constructed of high grade (316) stainless-steel, and all
corners are rounded, preventing the accumlation of dirt/debris.
For added security, all models feature an internal alarm to alert the user if the CO2 percentage changes, or the temperature fluctuates by more than 1°C from the set point. In addition, a “quick-cal” calibration button allows for quickly adjusting the chamer temperature to match that of a properly calibrated external thermometer.
Two series (standard and PLUS) are each available in 45L and 180L chamber sizes. PLUS models include advanced programming for high heat decontamination (8 hours at 125°C), a unique split inner glass door for access to the chamber without exposing it fully to the external environment and programmable humidity percentage, up to 95%.
