Sustainable temperature control systems with CO2 refrigerant


Peter Huber Kältemaschinenbau SE has unveiled its next-generation Unistat temperature control systems, integrating cutting-edge technologies to deliver enhanced efficiency and sustainability. The updated Unistats now come with a 4-year warranty and offer ‘Green Line’ models utilising CO2 refrigerant (R-744). These environmentally-friendly units feature zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP = 0), minimal Global Warming Potential (GWP = 1), and non-flammability, providing a


100% sustainable alternative to systems using synthetic refrigerants. Covering applications from laboratory research to industrial production, Huber’s range of natural refrigerant solutions is unparalleled in liquid temperature control.


The new Unistats feature a reduced internal filling volume, significantly decreasing heating and cooling times. This enhancement improves ‘time-to-temperature’ and overall response times, allowing for more efficient processing. The systems are now equipped with state-of-the-art, magnetically coupled circulation pumps that deliver high flow rates for optimal heat transfer. Enhanced venting and degassing functions ensure quick commissioning and smooth, uninterrupted operation.


Safety and connectivity have also seen major upgrades. All safety features meet or exceed performance level C standards (DIN EN ISO 13849-1). The new ‘Com.G@ te DIGITAL’ module is included as standard, offering common digital interfaces and improved temperature measurement accuracy. Connectivity options can be expanded with additional modules and gateways, including the optional ‘Com.G@te PLUS’ for analogue interfaces.


Huber’s hydraulically sealed Unistats support wide temperature ranges without the need for fluid changes. They prevent oil vapours and oxidation of heat transfer fluids (HTF), extending the lifespan of the HTF. The systems are designed with sustainable energy management in mind, featuring low power and water consumption that translates to reduced operating costs. A compact housing design minimises the footprint, making these units ideal for space-constrained laboratories and production facilities.


Since early 2024, all Huber temperature control units, including the new Unistats, come with an extended 4-year warranty. To activate the warranty, customers simply need to register the unit’s serial number within three months of delivery.


Unistat process circulators offer cooling capacities from 0.48 to 130 kW, making them perfect for demanding thermal process engineering tasks. Their versatility ensures smooth scale-up from research laboratories to full-scale production environments.

Stirling Ultracold has introduced the VAULT100™, a cutting-edge upright ultra-low temperature (ULT) freezer engineered for superior temperature uniformity, energy efficiency, and predictive diagnostics. Designed to meet the evolving needs of modern laboratories, the VAULT100 is the first ULT freezer to feature an extended temperature range of -100°C to -20°C, providing researchers with unmatched flexibility in sample storage.


At its core, the VAULT100 integrates Stirling’s advanced M6D free-piston engine technology, delivering tighter temperature control with a uniformity of ±3°C at -80°C. The improved design ensures market-leading setpoint stability, making it an ideal choice for high-performance biorepositories, clinical research facilities, and GMP- compliant storage. By maintaining interior temperatures below -70°C for up to two minutes after door openings, the VAULT100 protects sensitive samples from temperature fluctuations while allowing more convenient access.


The freezer replaces the SU780XLE model while retaining the same compact footprint and high storage density. It is powered by Stirling’s latest M6D free-piston engine, which improves system reliability and reduces power consumption. The new design enhances efficiency, requiring only 5.8 kWh/day in steady-state operation, earning it ENERGY STAR® certification.


The VAULT100 also introduces a 10-inch touchscreen interface with built-in predictive analytics, comparable to a vehicle’s dashboard alerts. This system continuously monitors multiple engine sensors, providing proactive maintenance recommendations and real-time performance insights. With smarter diagnostics, users can optimise uptime, prevent unexpected failures, and ensure long-term reliability.


“We’re excited to introduce a ULT freezer that not only pushes the boundaries of temperature performance but also integrates smart diagnostics for enhanced reliability,” said Clayton Newman, CEO of Stirling Ultracold. “The VAULT100’s advanced analytics and improved engine efficiency set a new benchmark for ultra-low


temperature storage, safeguarding sample integrity while optimising operational costs.” More information online: ilmt.co/PL/x5XZ


64096pr@reply-direct.com Precision chilling/heating dry bath for robotic workfl ows


Torrey Pines Scientific has unveiled the EchoTherm™ RIC40, a compact, Peltier-driven dry bath engineered for seamless integration with robotic laboratory systems. The RIC40 delivers precise chilling and heating with a temperature range from 0.0°C to 100.0°C, easily controlled via the RS232 I/O port on each unit.


Measuring just 4.9” (125 mm) long × 3.3” (82 mm) wide × 3.9” (99 mm) tall (without a sample block), the RIC40 is ideal for labs with limited bench space. Optional accessories include mounting brackets for Tecan decks and a wide range of precision aluminium sample blocks to suit diverse experimental needs.


Temperature settings can be adjusted in 0.1°C increments, with stability and accuracy maintained at ±0.2°C. Each RIC40 comes fully equipped with a chiller/heater module, universal power supply, country-specific AC line cord, RS232 interconnect cable, and detailed instructions including the Serial Command Set. All units are ETL, CSA, and CE certified.
