2. Product description & technical data
2.1 Comfort
The important features of simple operation and virtually silent running are guaranteed for a wide
range of applications in your laboratory, coupled with an attractive design.
A range of parameter set-points and timer functions can be programmed via a sensitive and
ergonomic operating panel.
The ECOTRON is predicated on the incubator shaker concept but there is the possibility to utilise
the incubation hood for temperature control only without the shaker, allowing for different sorts of
applications.
2.2 Useful Space and Required Space
Despite having a relatively small footprint, the ECOTRON ® offers all the possible features required
in an incubator shaker. It provides space for cooling, lighting and humidification in addition to the
room required for a tray of 420x420 mm.
The space-saving folding door allows for use not only as a table shaker but also when located
under a bench. Continuing the good tradition of the MULITRON ® range, stacking of one unit on
top of another is possible.
2.3 Technical points
After decades of experience of building magnetic drive systems, a completely new version has
been developed which is so well enclosed that liquids cannot penetrate.
The heating system for the incubation chamber guarantees a rapid and even temperature
distribution across the whole of the shaker tray. Supply of coolant is regulated for the most
economical use of energy.
The latest innovations in the field of micro processing and PID-regulation allow precise
maintenance of the set values.
2.4 Safety
Additional operational safety is provided by an over temperature cut-out.
After power failure the machine starts automatically with current parameter values.
The entire electronics and control technology is mounted in the top part of the housing and is
therefore completely protected from the unfortunate consequences of a flask breakage. The
collection tray under the shaking table makes cleaning easy and it can be rinsed with water. A drain
port is provided at the front of the unit for removal of liquid.
2.5 Fittings
In the most basic configuration, the ECOTRON ® is provided with shaker and temperature control.
Cooling can be supplied either from an external chiller connected to a cooling coil with magnetic
control valve or via an integral cooling system.
The integral shaker tray of size "E" can be fitted with clamps or reagent tube holders. Amongst the
accessories is a tray with adhesive matting, which can be simply screwed to the shaker table.
