Description

The Refrigerator with Cooled Incubator (ST) CHL3/ST2 is a dual-function laboratory appliance that combines dependable refrigeration with controlled temperature incubation in a single integrated system. Designed for laboratories requiring both cold storage and incubation capabilities, this unit maximizes workspace efficiency while delivering reliable, precise performance for a variety of scientific and industrial applications.

The refrigeration compartment provides 150 L capacity, maintaining a stable temperature range of 0 ?C to +15 ?C for secure storage of temperature-sensitive samples, reagents, medicines, and biologicals. Adjacent to this, the cooled incubator (ST) chamber offers 100 L capacity with a programmable temperature range from +5 ?C to +60 ?C, making it suitable for tasks such as culture conditioning, controlled reactions, enzyme incubation, and other processes that require elevated and stable temperatures.

Both compartments are equipped with forced air circulation to promote uniform temperature distribution and rapid recovery after door openings, ensuring consistent performance under frequent use. Temperature control and monitoring are managed through a microprocessor-based touchscreen controller that provides intuitive operation, precise regulation, and advanced settings. Integrated LAN and USB connectivity enable data exporting, logging, and integration with laboratory monitoring systems, while optional enhancements allow expanded communication and remote supervision.

To support usability and safety, the unit includes internal LED lighting for clear visibility, an open-door alarm to notify users of unintended access or temperature deviations, and a lockable door system to protect valuable contents. A dedicated sensor access port supports external probe integration for additional monitoring and quality-assurance requirements.

The interior features robust stainless-steel wire shelving, enabling flexible storage arrangements and easy cleaning. The rugged cabinet design ensures long-term reliability in demanding laboratory environments, while thoughtful engineering maintains efficient operation and quiet performance.

By integrating refrigeration and controlled temperature incubation into one compact cabinet, the CHL3/ST2 offers a practical, reliable solution for research institutions, clinical labs, pharmaceutical facilities, and industrial R&D centers that require both cold and conditioned storage in a single, precisely controlled system.
