Lab Companion-Rapid Temperature Cycling Test Chamber

Introduction of Lab Companion

With over 20 years of experience, Lab Companion is a world class manufacturer of environmental chambers and an accomplished supplier of turn-key test systems and equipment.  All our chambers build on Lab Companion’s reputation for long life and exceptional reliability.

 With a scope of design, manufacture and service, Lab Companion has established a quality management system that complies with the International Quality System Standard ISO 9001:2008.  Lab Companion’s equipment calibration program is accredited to the International Standard ISO 17025 and the American National Standard ANSI/NCSL-Z-540-1 by A2LA.  A2LA is a full member and signatory of the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC), the Asia Pacific Laboratory Accreditation (APLAC) and the European Cooperation for Accreditation (EA). 

Lab Companion’s SE-Series Environmental Test Chambers offer a significantly enhanced airflow system, which provides better gradients and improved product temperature change rates.  These chambers utilize Thermotron’s flagship 8800 Programmer/Controller featuring a high resolution 12.1” flat panel display with touch screen user interface, expanded capabilities to graph, data log, edit, access on-screen help, and long term hard drive data storage.

Not only do we offer the highest quality products, we also provide ongoing support designed to keep you up and running long after the initial sale.  We provide factory direct local service with an extensive inventory of the parts you might need. 

Performance

Temperature range: -70°C to +180°C

Performance: With 23 Kg aluminum load (IEC60068-3-5), the rising rate from +85°C to -40°C is 15℃/min; the cooling rate from -40°C to +85°C is15℃/min too.

Temperature control：± 1°C Dry bulb temperatures from control point after stabilization at the control sensor

Performance is based on an ambient condition of 75°F (23.9°C) and 50% RH

Cooling/Heating Performance based on measurement at the control sensor in the supply air stream
