Torrey Pines Scientific announces its new EchoTherm Stackable/Programmable Vibration Free Chilling Incubators for protein crystallography and other life science uses.

The incubators are 27-liter capacity and Peltier-based for heating and chilling. They have no compressors or CFCs and are vibration-free making them suitable for doing protein crystallography.

Other applications include incubating marine samples below room temperature, enzyme reactions, and deactivations, hybridizations, ligations, storing oocytes, and general lab incubations. Three units may be stacked using two stacker accessories Model IN30-300.

The IN35 is a fully programmable unit that can store three programs in memory and features precise temperature ramping both up and down. Temperatures are settable from 4.0°C to 70.0°C controllable to ±0.1° C and accurate to ±0.2° C. They have an RS232 I/O port for remote control and data collection, and a digital timer in hours, minutes, and seconds with user-settable Auto-Off and audible alarms. The chamber size is 12-in. high x 10-in. deep x 14-in. wide and comes with two stainless-steel racks with room for four racks.
