Gallenkamp Orbital Incubator Shaker

Gallenkamp Orbital Incubator Shaker. For over 30 years Sanyo Gallenkamp has had an enviable reputation for its range of orbital Incubators. Sanyo Gallenkamp Orbital Incubators are ideally suited to culturing micro-organisms and cells under strict conditions of temperature, time, light and agitation. The constant motion allows effective aeration with the wide 32mm orbital action reducing buffeting of shear sensitive cells. The Sanyo Gallenkamp range comprises three versions; the Basic Unit; the Refrigerated Unit; and the Illuminated Refrigerated Unit. Basic Unit Temperature The new unit incorporates microprocessor control for both temperature and agitation speed. Temperature control is achieved via a recirculating fan and appropriate ducting to achieve uniform temperature control. A unique temperature sensor shield is now incorporated to ensure accurate chamber temperature sensing. This helps to ensure reproducible results. Platform A new platform has been designed which will accept standard conical flasks from 25ml to 2000ml. The platform now has a matrix of threaded holes drilled into it. The clips used to retain the flasks simply screw directly onto the platform. This enables the configuration of the clips to be changed without removing the platform from the incubator. Gassing Provision has been made to allow alternative atmospheres to be introduced to the chamber if required. Gas leakage is kept to a minimum to ensure economic usage. Agitation The wide 32mm orbit allows maximum agitation of samples on the platform with the minimum of buffeting. Speeds of between 20 and 400 revolutions per minute can be set and controlled repeatedly. Accessory cooling coil To operate the unit at, near or just below ambient temperature, a cooling coil can be fitted. This needs to be connected to a cool water supply pr a water recirculator. Safety An independent over-temperature protection thermostat protects the culture from excessive heating. For operator safety, the platform stops rotating when the lid is opened. When the lid is closed, the platform automatically starts rotating again. A control panel lock switch is also provided to prevent accidental alteration of parameters. Programming A new state-of-the-art programmer now allows the operator to utilise the orbital incubator to its maximum potential. Although the parameters of temperature, orbital speed and time can be simply entered, with the digital programmer there is the potential to automatically change the temperature using a 3 step program. These temperature changes can be cycled up to 99 times or continuously. A memory will retain the 3 most commonly used programs thus saving time. An RS 485 output provides the facility to monitor performance independently on a PC. Refrigerated Unit Cooling This model has all the features of the basic unit, but includes refrigeration which allows incubation at temperatures down to 20C below ambient. An under-temperature safety thermostat is included to protect the culture from excessive cooling. In common with other Sanyo products, this model features CFC free refrigeration using the latest technology available. naturally, the foamed in place insulation used on all models is also CFC free. Illuminated Refrigerated Unit Where photosynthesis forms part of the culture, illumination is provided with this model. Illumination 6 x 30W fluorescent lights are built into the lid to provide a maximum of 10,2000 lux. Most illumination systems adjust light levels in the incubator by switching lights on and off. Sanyo Gallenkamp has used its considerable plant growth expertise when designing the lighting system. Therefore the new orbital incubator has a variable controller to adjust the light from 20 - 100% in 1% intervals. This advanced system gives superior light distribution over other models. Cycling The incubator is able to automatically control temperature changes which can be linked with the option of controlling the light intensity and speed of the platform. the programmer allows the operator to automatically simulate might and day conditions by controlling light and dark at different temperatures.
