Physitemp's BFS-Series of temperature con­trolled freezing stages incorporates a wide range of several Instuments. The new line of temperature con­trolled freezing stages has innovative features at a lower cost than older TC series controllers. These controllers are designed around a new generation of switch­ing power supplies which are smaller and lighter than the older BFS supplies. The sup­plies are overated 100% to ensure cool opera­tion and continuous service.

 

Technical features include:  

  110 and 220V operation by switch selection
  Temperature control to within 0.5°C in the range of -40°C to ambient
  Thaw switch to quickly defrost frozen samples
  Safety features include overtemperature alarm with power shut down in the event of inadaquate flow of cooling  water or overuse of the thaw feature
  Controller incorporates fan assisted internal cooling to maintain low internal tempera­tures
  Continuous display of both set and run tem­peratures
  Simple temperature control setup
  Auxiliary switched AC output for acces­sories ( option
  P.I.D. microprocessor based temperature controller with autotuning feature and sensor breakage warning
  Combined carrying handle with adjustable base for convenient adjustment of display viewing angle


 

Optional Accessories:  

ECV-1 Electrically Operated Solenoid Valve - enables the user to activate the tap water supply with the controller power switch
PTU-3 Pump and Tank Unit - a closed loop water system for installations where an external water source is not available
