Amerex Instruments, Inc. products

Space-saving design with lid opening upward. Agar sterilization mode for sterilizing agar and then automatically maintaining it at liquid temperature.

The SteadyShake™ 757L, 757 and 757S are economical and compact bench top incubator shakers and occupy minimal benchtop space. The 757S is equipped with an adjustable shelf. The 757L uses an 18" x 18" platform, whereas both the 757 and 757S offer a 15.8" x 11.8" platform. All the models can accommodate 2-liter Erlenmeyer flasks or two 2.8-liter Fernbach flasks. The 757 and 757L swing-up lid and the door of the 757S feature a large viewing window. These shakers use a microprocessor temperature controller to maintain precise temperature control from 3^oC to 4^oC above ambient to 70^oC. A quiet fan ensures temperature uniformity throughout the chamber. The brushless, maintenance-free drive motor generates speeds from 40 to 400 RPM which is displayed on a digital readout. A triple-eccentric drive with counter-balancing weights provides stable shaking, and eliminates the inconvenience of making balancing adjustments as the load increases.

The 800 series of open-air shakers shakers offer a choice of three shakers with four platform sizes. The largest model, 818, is a large-capacity heavy-duty with a 38" x 24" platform. The smallest 838 offer a choice of two platform sizes. The SK-838 is a compact unit, yet is large enough to carry a significant load.

Amerex`s GYROMAX orbital and reciprocating water bath shakers incorporate design features that offer quiet, maintenance-free shaking under a precisely controlled and reproducible temperature environment.

IncuMax IC80, IC150, IC320, IC500 and IC850 incubators from Amerex feature a PID microprocessor controller and a forced air circulation system to provide both exceptional temperature uniformity and rapid heat recovery throughout its stainless steel chamber. The incubators also feature an independent over-temperature thermostat that eliminates over-heating.

Amerex`s model HS-111 is a versatile, compact hybridization oven that also functions as an incubator shaker. It incorporates a microprocessor temperature controller that together with a large and quiet circulating fan, assure uniform and precise temperature control. The large 12.5" x 14.8" double-pane glass window enables one to clearly and easily observe the inside of the entire stainless steel chamber.

IncuMax CV80, CV150 and CV250 forced convection ovens from Amerex, feature a microprocessor temperature controller with simultaneous displays of the set temperature (up to 250°C) and oven temperature. In addition, a drying time up to 99 hours and 59 minutes can be programmed. A two-speed fan provides forced convection for uniform temperature distribution and rapid heat recovery throughout the stainless steel chamber. An adjustable air exhaust, which can be fully closed to fully open, is provided to control the rate of drying, baking or curing.

The IncuMax WB10C and WB20C water baths incorporate a 10-liter and 20-liter seamless stainless steel bath, respectively. They incorporate a PID microprocessor controller for precise temperature control and feature a circulating pump to ensure optimum mixing and temperature uniformity. A stainless steel gable cover for operating up to 100°C is supplied with each bath.

The CB-212 and CB-222 are closed-loop refrigerated circulating baths ideal for direct immersion of samples or for cooling in many laboratory equipment such as rotary evaporators, lasers and chromatography systems. The CB-212 is a compact 9-liter bench top unit while the CB-222 is a 19.5-liter unit mounted on casters that could be placed on a bench top or the floor. Each bath features a PID microprocessor temperature controller for precise and stable temperature. The working temperature range is from -25°C to 100°C. Other features include a low-liquid level shut-off, an easy-to-read bright LED digital display, a bath drain valve for easy cleaning and replacement of coolant, and easily removable front grille for periodic condenser cleaning.

Manufacturers of microtubes do not recommend storing them under cryogenic conditions because of the potential of liquefied nitrogen seeping into the tube through the cap. Current methods manually encase the entire tube in a heat shrink tubing using a heat gun. The CryoProof 313 is an innovative and patented tube sealer that automatically heat shrinks a short plastic tubing to seal only the cap of a cryogenic tube, and assures a leak-proof seal in seconds. The seal reduces the potential loss of valuable the samples during cryogenic storage arising from very cool air or liquid nitrogen seeping into the tube, or the release of hazardous samples from the tube.
