Conclusion


This evaluation shows that a comprehensive knowledge of working volumes is needed to protect the sample tube, and therefore the sample, from damage which could lead to sample loss. This understanding should be based on several key factors including; calculation of potential overfill from the liquid handler used to determine true working volume, controlled freezing rates to mitigate the risk from ice plugs and, importantly, an awareness of sample tube features (capping options, burst pressure and working volumes).

LTE Scientific, a trusted leader in laboratory equipment, proudly presents its OP Series Ovens; engineered to deliver exceptional reliability, precision, and value for modern labs and process facilities. Designed for applications ranging from sample drying to heat treatment and material testing, the OP Series meets the diverse needs of today’s scientific and industrial environments.


Operating within a temperature range of 40 - 250°C, the OP ovens provide rapid heat-up times, precise temperature control, and almost undetectable overshoot. The digital display shows both set and actual temperatures, while a manual reset over-temperature cut-out (IEC1010-2-010 compliant) ensures safety during operation.


Available in four capacities - 60, 100, 150, and 250 litres, each oven is coated with an anti-bacterial epoxy powder to prevent bacterial growth and migration. Whether your lab requires fan circulation for uniform heat distribution or natural convection for gentler drying processes, the OP Series offers models to suit various applications. Adjustable vents and a choice of PID control systems further enhance versatility.


For maximum control, the ovens can be equipped with a single temperature set-point controller or an advanced multi-program version capable of storing up to eight-step cycles. Additional features include ramp functions to control temperature rise and fall rates, automatic recovery after power failure, and the ability to repeat or hold cycles as needed.


Ideal for laboratories involved in pharmaceutical, healthcare, or industrial research, the OP Series is the ultimate solution for precise, reliable heating and drying processes.


For details on how the OP Series Ovens can enhance laboratory capabilities, explore the product features and specifications. Additionally, information about other thermal equipment, including incubators, drying cabinets, and environmental rooms or stability chambers, is also available for those looking to expand their laboratory’s offerings.

63475pr@reply-direct.com Overhead stirrer system with active temperature control


Asynt has unveiled the enhanced DrySyn Vortex Parallel Overhead Stirring System, now available with active temperature control for heating and cooling, responding to customer demand for improved reaction conditions in the lab.


The upgraded DrySyn Vortex Temperature Controlled System enables precise temperature regulation by integrating with a compatible circulator, allowing chemists to perform parallel screening or multiple reactions under optimal conditions. Designed for overhead stirring, it is ideal for viscous or heterogeneous systems where magnetic stirring bars may cause material damage.


The system accommodates three reaction positions for round-bottom flasks up to 500 mL, maximising efficiency within a compact footprint. By offering controlled ramping and maintaining constant solution temperatures, the new setup is particularly beneficial for exothermic or endothermic reactions and polymerisation processes, making it a versatile addition to any laboratory.


With a temperature range from ambient to 150°C as standard - or extending to -30°C with optional DrySyn SnowStorm MULTI inserts - the system offers exceptional flexibility. It is compatible with all major overhead stirrer brands, allowing users to triple their reaction throughput, enhancing both efficiency and sustainability.


This innovative system empowers chemists to streamline workflows, optimise reaction conditions, and achieve unparalleled efficiency. More information online: ilmt.co/PL/3yev


63656pr@reply-direct.com CO2 incubator with built-in roller Crafted with precision by Wiggens, the CO2 incubator emerges as essential tool for various experimental pursuits, from cultivating animal cells to hatching and


germinating processes. With rapid heating, swift temperature recovery, and precise temperature control, this premium incubator ensures optimal conditions for cell growth and research.


Its innovative design features electric heating wires surrounding the chamber, ensuring uniform heat distribution. With dry-wall insulation, maintenance is minimised while temperature stability is maximised. A base heater maintains water in a tray for humidity control, while a circulation fan ensures even moisture dispersion. Additionally, front door and frame heaters prevent condensation, maintaining clarity for observation.


Partnering seamlessly with the CO2 incubator, the Celrol Elite roller apparatus offers configurations from 5 to 88 bottle positions, facilitating cell attachment culture.


This versatile apparatus accommodates standard plastic bottles, providing scalability and convenience for researchers. The roller culture technique, utilising gentle rotation, enhances gas exchange and promotes cell growth.


For high-demand applications like vaccine production, the Celrol Elite can be expanded with additional layers, accommodating up to 11 tiers of bottles. Wiggens supports this system with options for battery backup, SMS alarm notifications, and direct printer connections for streamlined reporting.


With its adaptability to standard cell culture bottles, the Celrol Elite roller apparatus offers a versatile solution for a wide array of biotechnological endeavours. More information online: ilmt.co/PL/zz7Q and ilmt.co/PL/pKbB
