Friocell

Cooled Incubators

Friocell cooled incubators are designed for applications that require temperatures ranging from -20°C up to 100°C, including biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) testing, sample storage, microbiological and bacteria research, insect or fish rearing, and seed germination.

Our patented forced air convection system provides simultaneous vertical and horizontal airflow, enabling rapid heating and cooling times with even temperature distribution. Sophisiticated microprocessor controls continuously monitor cycle data and adjust input in real-time to maintain conditions without overshooting the set point. Friocell cooled incubators are FDA CFR 21 Part 11 compliant when equipped with optional Warmcomm 4.0F software.

Chamber Construction

Pharmaceutical-Grade Stainless Steel

The Friocell is equipped with a pharmaceutical-grade AISI 304 stainless steel chamber featuring a double wall construction and 5 layers of insulation for improved durability, temperature uniformity, and operating efficiency. The inner chamber is seamless with rounded corners and fully removable for easier cleaning and sterilization. The door of the chamber employs a patented 4-point closing system that seals the door to the chamber gasket and enables hands-free opening and closing.
  • AISI 304 stainless steel chamber
  • Removable inner chamber with seamless, rounded corner design for easier cleaning and sterilization.
  • Shelf brackets that do not penetrate the chamber walls – brackets are molded into the inner chamber walls 2.8″ apart.
  • 4-point closing system that seals the door to the chamber gasket – automatic or key door lock options availabe, door sensor and alarm option available.
  • Double wall chamber construction with 5 layers of insulation for more uniform internal chamber conditions.
  • (2″) 50 mm stainless steel port – (1″) 25mm, (2″) 50mm, (4″) 100mm access port options available.
  • Inner glass door allows viewing into the chamber without affecting internal conditions

Heat Technology

Patented Forced Air Convection

Our patented force air convection system produces simultaneous vertical and horizontal airflow for precise temperature uniformity and rapid heating and cooling times. The process of heating from the bottom of the chamber to the top simulates natural airflow, allowing for a more accurate replication of climate conditions.

Control System

Precise & Automated Control of Cycle Parameters

As standard, BMT USA devices are equipped with the ECO digital controller with the option to upgrade to the advanced EVO controller for expanded functionality and features. Both controllers employ fuzzy logic algorithms to evaluate cycle data in real-time and continuously adjust input values to maintain optimal chamber conditions. This allows for rapid heating and cooling while safeguarding against overshooting the temperature setpoint, protecting the load, ensuring the accuracy of results, and reducing cycle durations, recovery times, and power consumption.
