Summit Accucold ABOD15 15 Cu. Ft. BOD Refrigerated/Heated Incubator, 4 to 60°C, Solid Door, Lock, Alarms, 115V
Description
A 15 cu. ft. refrigerated/heated incubator that holds BOD water samples at a steady set point from 4 to 60°C.
The Accucold ABOD15 by Summit is a 72"-high BOD refrigerated/heated incubator for water treatment plants, environmental labs and research facilities. It comes preset at 20°C and adjusts from 4 to 60°C (39.2 to 140°F); Accucold publishes a +/-1°C variation measured at the chamber center over 24 hours. A glycol-buffered product probe plus an air sensor feed an outside microprocessor controller with min/max display, password protection and alarms for temperature, open door, power failure and sensor failure. The interior holds up to 240 BOD bottles of 300 ml on 7 adjustable plastic-coated wire shelves (bottle count varies by bottle design).
