SYSTEM20/50EH

Question

Solution

Do I need an incubator for the electric SYSTEM20/50EH?

No. The SYSTEM20/50EH is designed for benchtop use. It has built-in temperature control and optional CO2 mixing and aeration pumps. This system should not be used inside an incubator.

How does the performance compare to the pneumatic unit?

The performance of the two units is identical.

How is temperature controlled? What is the accuracy?

Temperature is controlled by sensing the surface temperature under the bag. This special SRTD temperature probe provides an accurate (+/-0.5C) measurement. This sensor is used to regulate heat to the underside of the bag. Studies have shown that the temperature inside the bag is uniform within 0.1C if the rocking rate is maintained above 6 rocks/minute.

Can I stack multiple units?

No. But the CABINET20/50 option provides a stainless-steel cabinet that can house 3 x SYSTEM20/50 bioreactors and associated instrumentation.
