Product Overview

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 ABOD18 is an 18 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.

Key Features

• BOD Refrigerated/Heated Incubator: Designed to store water samples under reliable temperature conditions for optimum research results
• Purpose-built design: Constructed and featured for the storage of water samples
• Pre-set to 20ºC: Ideal temperature for bottle incubation
• +/-1ºC Variation: The published temperature variation is derived from the maximum deviation of an NTC sensor in a 1 oz. vial located nearest the chamber geometric center during a 24 hour test period
• Large capacity: 18 cu.ft. interior can hold up to 300 300ml incubator glass bottles (note: bottle capacity varies by exact bottle design and size)
• Antimicrobial silver ion-coated handle: Powder-coated handle with naturally occurring silver ions to help reduce the spread of germs
• Adjustable temperature: Intuitive controls let you adjust the interior temperature between +4 to +60ºC
• Temperature alarm: Visual and audible alarms alert if the interior temperature rises or falls out of set range
• Remote alarm contacts: Electronic controller is equipped with a volt-free contact for alarm forwarding to an external remote system (contacts located in the external rear of the unit)
• Automatic defrost with adjustable cycle defrost: Adjustable cycle defrost operation ensures the unit avoid temperature spikes and ice buildup
• Access port: Includes a pre-installed 1/2" probe hole in the right interior wall to allow easier connection to user-provided monitoring equipment
