Accucold 6 Cu.Ft. BOD Refrigerated/Heated Incubator

Designed and purpose-built to ensure stable temperature conditions for BOD and microbiological cold storage applications

Description

Accucold's Performance Series includes BOD refrigerated incubators designed to provide reliable cold storage in water treatment centers, environmental laboratories, and other research facilities. 

Model ABOD6 and ABOD6LHD is a 6 cu.ft. refrigerated incubator. The adjustable control range allows you to manage the temperature between 4º and 60ºC (39.2 to 140ºF) and comes preset at 20ºC. The microprocessor temperature controller is externally located to minimize door openings, helping to protect stored contents from ambient temperature. The buffered temperature probe is encased in a glycol-filled bottle to better simulate temperature of the stored product, with an additional sensor that reads air temperature to ensure superior temperature control. The current and min/max temperature display is viewable in Celsius or Fahrenheit to the nearest tenth of a degree. The audible and visual temperature alarm sounds if the unit's interior goes out of range. Additional alarms include a power failure alert, door open alarm, and sensor failure alarm. This unit is equipped with remote alarm contacts in the rear and a 1/2" probe port on the right side to accept additional monitoring devices. It comes with a hospital grade cord with a green dot plug for added safety in high traffic laboratory and research areas.

Inside, the ABOD6 and ABOD6LHD utilizes adjustable cycle defrost operation to avoid temperature spikes. Optimized forced air cooling with one internal fan ensures excellent temperature stability and uniformity with rapid recovery after door openings. The adjustable plastic-coated wire shelves can be positioned at 1/2" increments to accommodate virtually any sized bottle. This unit includes LED internal lighting with an on/off rocker switch so you can ensure the interior contents are not unnecessarily exposed to light. The interior is constructed from white powder coated metal to ensure added durability and better temperature retention. 

This refrigerated incubator comes in a white cabinet finish with a blue accented control panel. The factory-installed antimicrobial handle is powder-coated with naturally occurring silver ions, which help to reduce the spread of germs, allowing for a safer, cleaner user experience. The user-reversible door ships with a right hand swing and self-closing function. This model includes a factory-installed lock and ships with two keys for staff use. Powerful magnetic gaskets ensure a positive seal. 

Designed with hydrocarbon refrigerant, the ABOD6 and ABOD6LHDprovides an energy efficient solution to water storage. Additional size are available, as well as upgrades including digital data loggers, keyless entry locks, and more. Browse the complete Accucold line up at accucold.com.
