Eppendorf Galaxy® 170 R / 170 S CO2 Incubators

Description

Galaxy^® 170 R and 170 S CO₂ incubator is a high-capacity, 170 liter incubator that provides superior quality, outstanding performance, and intuitive operation for your lab! The 170 R and S can be conveniently placed on or under the bench or even double stacked, making them ideal for a wide range of specialized and traditional applications where ever incubation is required. An advanced six-sided direct heating system gently bathes cells in a seamless, fanless chamber. Galaxy 170 R models provide a tremendous amount of usable space that can be optimized with options including O₂ control, active cooling, and UV-sterilization.

More Info

R-Series Controller: The R Series CO2 incubator's advanced display screen and controller allow for comprehensive and rapid analysis of real time and historical conditions:

• 72-hour continuous data logging of temperature, alarms, door openings and CO2, O2 and RH if required, provides a detailed record of environmental conditions to quickly troubleshoot any unexpected results.
• Capability to quickly change both environmental and alarm settings through intuitive controller.
• Diagnostic interface to show system parameters and functions.
• Password protection for secure programmable settings and alarm set points.
• On-screen troubleshooting and help

Advanced Six-Sided Direct Heating System Pioneered in Galaxy incubators, the unique direct-heat profile provides a very gentle convection circulation of chamber atmosphere for exceptionally uniform temperature and incubator environment. Unlike traditional forced-air culture systems, our system guards against the wide fluctuations in temperature and CO2 that can stress cells.

Fanless Design Galaxy incubators have eliminated the need of conventional fans, replacing them with our unique heating profile, which sets up a gentle circulation of air. By removing the fan, Galaxy incubators have eliminated a classic source of repeated contamination, allowing the entire incubator including upper shelf to be utilized while maintaining uniformity. In addition, since there is no fan, there is no need for an expensive internal HEPA filter that needs to be replaced frequently.

Seamless Chamber On all models, the chamber is pressed from a single sheet of stainless steel, with no welds or seams, eliminating potential sources of contamination. Combined with easily removable, replaceable shelves chamber cleaning is a rapid and efficient process.

Perforated Shelves Come standard to provide optimal circulation of temperature and incubated environment

Sealed and Split Inner Doors Allow viewing access to cultures while maintaining sample integrity. Improves uniformity and reduces gas consumption

O2 Control Options: 2 levels of O2 control options available on Galaxy 48 R Model incubators: 1-19% and 1-95%. Ideal for customizing applications for stem cell, oncology, and IVF studies

New Active Cooling System: Provides refrigerant-free cooling to 10°C below ambient temperature, making application studies at or below ambient temperature possible
