Heraeus® BK 6160 Test Chamber - Packaging, Shelf Life Testing, and Environmental Simulation with Temperature and Humidity Control
The Heraeus® BK 6160 test chamber is a high-quality laboratory equipment designed for rigorous testing under controlled environmental conditions. Specifically suited for packaging tests and shelf-life measurement, this chamber delivers exceptional performance in thermal accuracy and humidity management. Its innovative heating and cooling system maintains a stable temperature, with an operating range of 0°C to 50°C. The temperature accuracy is ±0.1°C over time and ±0.8°C in space, ensuring reliable and reproducible results for every test.
One of the key advantages of the BK 6160 over conventional incubators is its ability to prevent dehumidification. This model is equipped with a thermal jacket that ensures uniform temperature within the chamber, while the heating and cooling systems are placed outside and beneath the chamber. The air is mixed and directed to the thermal jacket, ensuring even temperature distribution. This innovative design prevents excessive moisture evaporation, preserving the integrity of the samples. By adding a water tray inside, the chamber can reach up to 90% relative humidity, which is critical for certain shelf-life tests that require precise humidity levels.
Another major benefit of the Heraeus® BK 6160 is its programmable controller, which allows for precise temperature settings as well as the programming of thermal cycles, including light simulations to mimic day/night conditions. These features are particularly useful for simulating real-world conditions in which products will be stored or used, ensuring more realistic and representative tests. You can also adjust the duration and frequency of cycles to meet specific testing requirements.
The test chamber features a generous 166-liter interior, allowing multiple samples to be tested simultaneously while ensuring optimal efficiency. The seamless stainless steel interior, with rounded corners, facilitates cleaning and maintenance, reducing the time and effort required to keep the equipment in good working condition. This allows users to focus more on the tests themselves than on the maintenance of the device.
The BK 6160 model is particularly well-suited for laboratories and companies requiring stringent and reproducible testing conditions. It is ideal for product stability tests, shelf-life evaluations, as well as for the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries that need to test the integrity of their products in controlled environments.
With its ability to simulate various conditions and its precise control of temperature and humidity, the Heraeus® BK 6160 allows for reliable testing results, which can be used to optimize product longevity and ensure quality. This state-of-the-art equipment represents a valuable investment for laboratories and companies seeking reliable and high-performing solutions for their packaging and shelf-life testing needs.
