Torrey Pines Scientific has released the EchoTherm model IN30 benchtop chilling incubator which controls from 4 to 70°C.

The IN30 is peltier based for heating and chilling and as such it has no compressors or CFCs and is virtually vibration free, making it suitable for protein crystallisation.

Applications include incubating marine samples below room temperature, enzyme reactions and deactivations, hybridisations, ligations, storing oocytes and general laboratory incubations.

The product features: PID temperature control; digital display; accuracy to 0.1°C; an RS232 I/O port for remote control and data collection; digital timer in hours, minutes and seconds with user-settable Auto-Off; and an audible alarm.
