Polystat 36 – The immersion thermostat designed for precision and safety in the laboratory
The Polystat 36 immersion thermostat from Thermo Fisher Scientific embodies the perfect combination of performance, reliability and safety for all laboratory temperature control applications. Designed to meet the most stringent accuracy requirements, this device incorporates an electronic PID control system that ensures optimal temperature maintenance while offering remarkable ease of use. Thanks to its intuitive interface and clear LED display, users can view and adjust settings with confidence, whether for simple operations or more complex protocols requiring rigorous thermal stability.
The Polystat 36 stands out for its ability to efficiently heat baths from 20 to 150°C with an accuracy of ±0.03°C. This wide temperature range allows it to support a wide range of experimental protocols while ensuring optimal responsiveness. Its integrated circulation pump allows it to operate in both internal regulation and external circulation modes, via specially designed connections. This versatility is enhanced by the ability to mechanically adjust the pump flow rate, allowing the device to be adapted to specific laboratory configurations or the type of liquid used. All these features make the Polystat 36 a reliable tool for academic, clinical and industrial laboratories.
Designed to last, the Polystat 36 has a robust and compact construction and is easy to install on baths up to 5 litres using a clamp. It operates optimally in environments between 5°C and 40°C, with IP21 protection suitable for laboratory conditions. But what really sets this device apart is its high level of built-in safety. It features an independent overheating safety device adjustable up to 160°C and a low-level safety device, both compliant with IEC 61010-2-010. In the event of a problem, these systems instantly shut down the heating and pump, while a visual and audible alarm allows for immediate intervention. These features give users peace of mind and allow for confident use, even during prolonged or intensive working conditions.
In addition to its performance, the Polystat 36 also stands out for its ease of maintenance and compatibility with optional accessories, making it a scalable system. It can be coupled with a cooling coil or a pump set for closed external systems, further extending its capabilities. Cleaning is quick and easy, requiring only soapy water for the external surface and special care for the bath fluid used, whether water or silicone oil. Strict adherence to the manufacturer's recommendations ensures the longevity of the device and prevents incidents, particularly when using heat transfer fluids with a low flash point.
This immersion thermostat is a strategic choice for professionals looking for stable, high-performance equipment that is easy to integrate into their installations. Whether for heating biological samples, performing chemical reactions under controlled temperatures or maintaining fluids at a constant temperature in a closed circuit, the Polystat 36 offers a reliable and proven solution. It is fully in line with a safe, accurate and sustainable approach to work and is a sound investment for laboratories concerned about the quality of their experimental results.
