FARRAR 4000/LC Series 75” Controlled Rate Chamber, 23.3 cu.ft. (659.8 L), +40°C to -80°C Temperature Range, Purpose-Built for Bioprocessing Applications, Air/Water Cooling System, IDEC PLC with 12" Display for 4000-LC Models
FARRAR® pioneered forced air convection cooling to answer the challenge of preserving biologic samples and materials. The Controlled Rate Chamber (model 4000 and 4000-LC series) provides repeatable, precise, and rapid freezing and thawing of bulk materials and sample prior to cold storage. Model 4000-LC series Controlled Rate Chamber features a 12-inch HMI screen with graphical display of chamber and product temperature.
The Model 4000 and 4000-LC series rate chamber, purpose-built for bioprocessing applications, greatly reduces freeze/thaw conditioning times, measured in hours, instead of days or weeks.
This precision controlled rapid freeze/thaw chamber helps protect product quality by enabling fast, uniform bulk freezing and thawing of protein or products in a variety of containers of various sizes, (bags, bottles, etc.) including single use system (SUS), polycarbonate vessels or polypropylene vessels.
The high-performing Controlled Rate Chamber model 4002/LC, (air-cooled) or 4102/LC, (water-cooled) conducts rapid freeze/thaw for +40°C to -80°C temperature needs. FARRAR's refrigeration experts help customers plan their process and provide performance data to ensure requirements are met.
Features
- Wide-range temperature capability for nearly any application (+40°C to -80°C)
- Air or water-cooled options available
- Uniform, repeatable results to help ensure quality control
- Cycle start/stop with +/-1°C product temperature tolerance
- Sizable and powerful cooling capacity achieves steady state in < 1 hour (empty chamber) and is capable of freezing 100L to -80°C in < 12h
- Large HMI touchscreen for visual temperature display and profile programming for 4000-LC models
- Optional product probe for temperature monitoring for 4000-LC models
- Six customizable profiles via touchscreen for operator selection for 4000-LC models
Benefits
