LMS Ltd - Specialists In Cooled Incubation THE LEADING UK JOURNAL FOR ANALYTICAL SCIENCE


LMS Ltd has been assisting the laboratory world for over 45 years, principally manufacturing Cooled Incubators but also offering service, repair and UKAS Accreditation for most makes and models of Laboratory equipment.


AUGUST 2011 - VOLUME 36 ISSUE 7


All LMS Cooled Incubators have an extensive range of applications for the testing of products, cultures, plant and insect life etc. over a wide and closely controlled temperature range of –10.0°C to +50.0°C.


We continually develop and upgrade our existing ranges. Recent design changes have meant new cabinets, re-styled models and the development of an energy efficient, environmentally friendly control system. Since the beginning of 2010 all LMS Cooled Incubators use the ‘New Energy Efficient System’ which, when compared to more traditional systems, produces running cost savings in excess of 70%.


These factors, combined with our ISO 9001:2008 accreditation which we have held since 1993, have ensured our place amongst the market leaders. Circle no. 500 Circle no. 500
