Key Features

Intelligent Program Control for Unattended Operation

• Multi-Step Programming: Design complex thermal profiles with 10 programmable settings. Each program can include up to 10 distinct steps, allowing for precise control over temperature ramps (rate of heating/cooling) and dwells (holding at a specific temperature).
• Extended Runtimes: Each step can be set for a duration of up to 99 hours and 59 minutes, enabling long-term, unattended experiments.
• Program Linking & Repetition: Seamlessly link stored programs to create extended, customized workflows. Programs can be set to repeat up to 99 times, ensuring consistency for batch processing.
• Scheduled Start: Define pre-heating or pre-cooling times to ensure the bath reaches the desired temperature before your program officially begins, saving valuable time.

High-Fidelity Performance & Stability

• Wide Temperature Range: Operates from -35°C to 150°C (-31°F to 302°F), making it suitable for both sub-ambient and high-temperature applications.
• Precision Control: A microprocessor-driven PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) controller ensures exceptional temperature stability of ±0.05°C. The system features auto-tuning and three-point calibration to maintain accuracy over the entire range.
• Versatile Circulation: A powerful, five-speed pump accommodates both internal and external circulation needs.
  • Internal Circulation (Steps 1–3): Gentle flow settings reduce turbulence within the bath, protecting delicate samples.
  • External Circulation (Steps 4–5): High-pressure settings efficiently circulate fluid to external equipment like viscometers, photometers, or bioreactors.
• Auxiliary Cooling: A built-in cooling coil can be connected to an external water source to assist the refrigeration system, enabling faster cool-down times or offsetting high heat loads from external processes.

Unmatched User Convenience

• Intuitive Interface: A bright, responsive touch screen LCD provides at-a-glance monitoring and effortless navigation through logical menus and clear icons.
• Flexible Timers: Utilise the dual wait on/off timer modes (1 min to 99 hrs, 59 mins) for scheduled operation.
• Seamless Connectivity: Integrated RS-232 and USB ports allow for remote control via PC and comprehensive data logging for traceability and analysis. Digital I/O ports enable interlocking with external devices for automated process safety.
• Effortless Maintenance: The corrosion-resistant 316L stainless steel bath features rounded corners, eliminating hard-to-clean spots. An easy-access drain valve and a detachable condenser air-filter simplify fluid changes and routine upkeep.
• Eco-Friendly & Safe Operation: Uses CFC-free refrigerants (R-507 and R-404A) within a system equipped with double service valves to prevent leaks and protect the environment.
• Mobility & Smart Features: The quick-release front grille allows for fast condenser cleaning. Integrated casters and side handles ensure the unit can be moved and positioned with ease. For ultimate convenience, connect to the LC Connected mobile app (requires LC GreenBox add-on) for remote monitoring and control from your smartphone or tablet.

Comprehensive Safety System

• Isolated Component Design: The agitator, heater, and sensors are isolated behind a protective baffle plate. This design minimizes turbulence and prevents direct user or sample contact with critical components.
• Visual Status Alerts: A bright temperature warning indicator changes color to provide an immediate visual cue of the reservoir's status (e.g., normal, caution, high-temp).
• Automated Safety Alarms: A robust safety system provides audible and visual alarms to protect the unit, user, and samples from low fluid levels (preventing dry-running), over-temperature conditions, and electrical over-current faults.
• Operational Security: A keypad lock function prevents accidental setting changes during critical operations, while the splash-proof keypad protects electronics from spills.
