Fisher Scientific Isotemp 6859 Forced Air Incubator
TThe Fisher Scientific Isotemp 6859 Forced Air Incubator is an advanced, microprocessor-controlled unit designed for a variety of laboratory applications. It features a temperature range from Ambient +5°C to 75°C, ensuring precise temperature uniformity (± 0.3°C at 37°C) and stability (± 0.1°C at 37°C). With an internal volume of 2.2 cubic feet (62.3L) and dimensions of 18 x 18 x 12.5 inches (45.7 x 45.7 x 31.8 cm), this incubator is both spacious and efficient. Air circulation is achieved through a fan at the unit's bottom, ensuring uniform air distribution. Fresh air enters through an intake port under the chamber, is heated in a plenum, and then circulates throughout. Exhaust air exits through a top port.
The incubator's temperature and control parameters are displayed on red LED screens, with additional LEDs indicating heater power application, error conditions, or temperature settings. Safety is also a major key feature of the Isotemp 6859. It includes a software-integrated safety backup; if the primary heater control fails, the backup maintains control at 3°C above the set point, signaled by an alarm LED. Moreover, a circuit breaker shields the incubator from power surges, enhancing its reliability and longevity. This incubator is an ideal choice for professionals seeking a blend of precision, safety, and user-friendly features in their laboratory equipment.
All of our equipment is fully tested to perform at factory specifications before being shipped.
