Condition: good (used), Interflow MVK 183 II Microbiological Safety Cabinet Due to its design, the safety cabinet ensures the highest degree of cleanliness or sterility of actions that take place in the booth (product protection). Likewise, the safety cabinet provides the highest possible protection for employees against hazardous and / or pathogenic substances that may be released during work in the cabin (personal protection). A new generation of fans is installed in the safety cabinet. As a standard, fans are used with DC motors, which result in energy savings of about 60 - 70%. This technology offers other advantages, such as: Continuous control of the correct air volume. The air volume is measured continuously and depends on the filter pressure drop, if necessary, it is automatically adjusted to the correct value. The air velocities in the working chamber and in the front opening are always correct until the filter final pressure loss is reached. Deviations caused by fan malfunctions or by reaching the maximum filter pressure drop are indicated by means of a visual and acoustic signal. Day / night switching is provided as standard. Acoustic signal in case of: Front panel not closed Optical signal at: Switch on lighting Switching on night operation Reset from an acoustic signal Front panel not closed Fault on the fan or on the electronic control Cgjlijiu Uxysn Hi Dst Dimensions: HxWxD = 1,67 x 1,90 x 0,77 m Further articles - new and used - you will find in our store!

Condition: good (used), Sanyo MPR-311D (H) medicine refrigerator 340l Safe, safe, cool storage of valuable medical products Efficient temperature control Cgjliovi H U Ujn Hi Djt A thermistor sensor and an electronic temperature control system ensure that the setpoint temperature is maintained. Even if the door is opened and closed from time to time, the fans ensure rapid temperature equalization, to ensure highly reliable and stable storage conditions, which are unaffected by the outside temperature. Equipped with digital temperature display A clear digital temperature display enables a quick visual check of the current operating temperature. To simplify visual temperature control, the temperature is displayed in 1°C increments for a temperature range from 0°C to +15°C. Fan forced air circulation Thanks to the fan forced air circulation system, the temperature is evenly distributed throughout the chamber. Every corner of the appliance is cooled immediately, apart from insignificant temperature deviations. Automatic defrosting system During normal operation, the automatic defrosting system switches on from time to time time without the chamber temperature rising. Over or under temperature alarm and safety devices If the chamber temperature suddenly drops below 0°C or rises above 15°C, the buzzer sounds. At the same time, the digital display flashes. If the chamber temperature falls below -2°C or rises above 20°C, the safety device prevents the refrigerator contents from freezing or freezing by activating the visual and audible alarm, that the contents of the refrigerator freeze or that the temperature continues to rise abnormally. Hard PU foam insulation keeps the chamber temperature stable and effectively protects against the penetration of warm air into the chamber interior. the inside of the chamber. The inner chamber is made of chemically resistant stainless steel and will provide many years of reliable service. With 2 easy-to-open sliding doors, less floor space is required.

Condition: used, The BV tests are intended for the detection of biological agents, including botulinum neurotoxins A, B, E and F, staphylococcal enterotoxin A and B, ricin and anthrax spores. BV tests use a sandwich immunoassay format. One antibody, specific for the pathogen to be measured, is immobilized on microparticles. The other antibody is labeled with the BioVeris BV-TAGTM label. The sample is mixed with these reagents. If the specific pathogen to be measured is present in the sample, both antibodies bind to it, effectively linking the microparticles, the organism and the BV-TAG label. The reaction mixture is then transported with an assay buffer to a flow cell with an electrode that stimulates the bound BV-TAG label to emit light. Only BV tests offer this unparalleled sensitivity and accuracy. BioVeris M1M Analyzer Incl. Toughbook Panasonic Mod. CF-29HTP44BM Cjlisu Egxvon Hi Dogt Plastic transport case (LxWxH)480x375x350 mm
