Features of DH AutoFlow 5500
N.I.C.E. Electronics The NuAire Incubator Control Electronics is a state-of-the-art microprocessor based control system specifically designed to deliver the precise control requirements for the chamber environment, providing optimum programmable conditions for culture growth. The microprocessor is "user-friendly" with status indicators, LED display of control parameters and a touch control keypad to permit efficient operator entry of data.
Accurate Infrared CO2 Control System The NuAire DH AutoFlow Incubator uses a microprocessor based, non-dispersive infrared CO2 sensor. The amount of energy diffused to the detector is an exact logarithmic function of the CO2 concentration in the gas between source and detector. The wavelengths used are absorbed by a filter in the CO2 bandwidth making the measurements insensitive to other components, such as water vapor. Advanced design provides a very stable drift-free output requiring less frequent calibration. The sensor is within the chamber air plenum so very accurate CO2 control is achieved.
Class 100 Air Flow Within the Chamber A HEPA filter surrounds the blower on the positive pressure side and continuously cleans the circulated chamber air within the incubator. The HEPA filter uniformly distributes and cleans the air within the chamber at a rate of one complete change per minute.
Fast Recovery Time Temperatures recovery within the chamber is very quick. For frequent opening and closing of the door, the temperature recovers at a rate of 0.3iC per minute.
Continuous Humidity Supply System A relative humidity level of 95% is achieved in the incubator by use of the large stainless steel pan filled with distilled water, and placed on the bottom of the chamber. It is necessary to properly set the door and front perimeter heater to reduce condensation within the chamber.
Economical Value The DH AutoFlow combines reliable, accurate, stable temperature and infrared gas controls with quality and value to meet laboratory performance for optimum growth conditions in the most demanding environments. The DH AutoFlow represents a special Extraordinary Value.
Quality Assurance Full factory testing is your assurance of reliability in the laboratory. Each product is thoroughly inspected and tested before shipment. Quality control is maintained by constant surveillance over manufacturing processes. Eleven individual tests are performed before the product is delivered to you.
