Thermostatic chamber
Thermostatic chambers, or temperature-controlled chambers, are air-tight equipment designed and used to create or maintain specific temperature-controlled and humidity conditions in bio-pharmaceutical processes and research laboratories with multiple applications.
Key features
- Temperature control and homogeneity
- Humidity control and homogeneity
- Sensors and controller systems
Thermostatic chamber in bioprocessing
Thermostatic chambers are important equipment in the bio-pharmaceutical industry and development laboratories to ensure stability and integrity of biological samples during production and testing. The precise control over environmental conditions – temperature and humidity – as well as the homogenous distribution of these parameters across the chamber are the most important requirements for the equipment.
The thermostatic chambers serve a variety of applications from R&D to industrial manufacturing including stability studies, storage or preparation of samples, purification of active ingredients, formulation or mixing operations, and quality control testing.
Applications for thermostatic chamber
- Biologics stability studies
- Storage and pre-warming of products and supplements
- Purification of active ingredients
- Quality control
Thermostatic chamber tailored to your needs
BECARV conceives and constructs thermostatic chambers based on the purposed use that will dictate the required range of temperature and humidity levels. The variety of possible applications implies indeed that such chambers are constructed to accommodate a wide range of temperatures with specific humidity levels.
BECARV thermostatic chambers are equipped with a robust control technology ensuring homogeneous and precise temperature and humidity distribution all over the chamber. Additional equipment can also be integrated in the thermostatic chamber, such as purification equipment or quality control devices with remote monitoring and data acquisition.
Why choose BECARV thermostatic chambers?
Reliability and robustness
BECARV conceives and constructs thermostatic chambers in robust and durable materials (stainless steel, polypropylene) to guarantee resistance to corrosion and with a high-quality insulation condition for a precise and homogeneous distribution of temperature and humidity within the chamber.
Modular design and expertise
BECARV analyses with its clients the purposed utilization of the thermostatic chamber to conceive and produce the equipment with the proper control over temperature and humidity, as required for good reproducibility and consistency of the experimental data.
BECARV thermostatic chambers benefit from the same technologies as its incubators; they include an air treatment unit with ‘High-Efficiency Particulate Air’ (HEPA) filter (optional), a ventilator and an air heating unit for reliable operating conditions that are required for biological products processing and storage, or quality control testing.
Frequently asked questions about thermostatic chambers
What are the differences between a thermostatic chamber and an incubator?
Thermostatic chambers are usually designed with a wider range of temperature and humidity capabilities since they are used in various industrial and R&D applications. On the contrary, incubators are conceived with a narrower range of temperatures since they are rather intended for biological production with cell and virus cultures.
Each equipment benefits from BECARV’s expertise and technologies to ensure optimal operating conditions for the bio-pharmaceutical industry and research laboratories.
