Lovibond TC 445 S thermostat-controlled incubator: a reliable and accurate temperature control solution
The Lovibond TC 445 S is a versatile thermostat-controlled incubator designed to ensure constant and uniform temperature control in a wide range of scientific and industrial applications. With a net capacity of 445 litres, this unit offers a generous interior space for storing and processing samples while maintaining perfectly controlled environmental conditions.
With a temperature range adjustable from 2°C to 40°C in 0.1°C increments, the TC 445 S can be adapted to the specific requirements of many disciplines such as biology, analytical chemistry and environmental testing. It is ideal for applications such as sample incubation, storage of sensitive reagents or biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) testing at 20°C. Regulation is provided by a system combining a compressor and heating elements that guarantee a stable temperature with an accuracy of ±1.0 °C at 20 °C, even in the event of fluctuations in the ambient temperature.
The fully insulated design of the TC 445 S promotes energy efficiency and limits heat loss, contributing to reliable and long-lasting performance. The air inside is circulated by two axial fans capable of a flow rate of 320 m³/h, ensuring perfect temperature uniformity throughout the storage space. This efficient circulation prevents the formation of areas with uneven temperatures and thus protects the integrity of the samples.
The unit is equipped with an intuitive control panel with two touch-sensitive buttons protected by a water-resistant membrane. The three-digit digital display continuously shows the actual and set temperatures, allowing for quick and easy monitoring of the internal conditions. In the event of a power failure, the settings are automatically stored in a reliable internal memory, ensuring uninterrupted operation when the unit is restarted.
For added safety, the TC 445 S is equipped with an integrated door lock, preventing unauthorised access to the contents. Maintenance is made easy by a manual defrosting system with automatic evaporation of condensation water. The appliance remains quiet during operation with a noise level below 70 dB(A), making it ideal for noise-sensitive environments such as laboratories or shared research areas.
Compliant with European Directives 2004/108/EC and 2006/95/EC, the TC 445 S is a reliable tool that combines robustness, precision and ease of use. Its high capacity and thermal performance make it the preferred choice for laboratories that require rigorous control of storage and incubation conditions.
