Echotherm CO50 Programmable HPLC Column Chiller/Heater for 4°C to 100°C

The CO50 chilling/heating HPLC column oven offers the reliability of a completely solid state system and covers a wide temperature range of 4°C up to 100°C.

The only moving parts in the unit are the cooling fans, while the Peltier-based design removes the need for compressors or CFCs. The energy efficient CO50 uses a maximum of 120 watts of power - less than many light bulbs.

The chamber is insulated wtih chemically resistant silicon rubber, the case is ABS plastic and sheet steel painted with chemically resistant epoxy paint. The cover is machined from block polycarbonate to resist heat and chemicals.

Ideal for chiral and biomedical chromatography applications, where below ambient temperatures help to preserve bioactivity.

The unit can also be used for stabilizing column temperature from day to day at or near room temperatures for repeatable results over time.

• Full programmability - stores 5 programs of up to 10 steps each in memory for instant recall and use. Each program can be made to repeat automatically from 1 to 99 times.
• Temperature range of +4°C to +100°C - precise control even near or below room temperature, regardless of changes in the room temperature.
• Readable and settable temperatures to 0.1°C
• Accuracy to ±0.2°C
• Built-in stable temperature light which illuminates when the set temperature is reached and stable.
• User settable, built-in column injection counter, counts to 1,000 injections.
• Chamber size is 38.1cm long  x 3.8cm wide x 3.8cm deep
• Clamps to hold 1/4" or 3/8" diameter columns up to 30cm long with room for fittings
• Energy efficient Peltier chilling and heating - no CFCs or other refrigerants
• PID temperature control of chamber using accurate platinum RTD temperature sensor
• 30 day count down timer with alarm and user settable Auto-Off that turns the unit off after the timer counts to zero.
• RS232 I/O port for control by computer or chromatograph or for data collection
• Electronic calibration held in memory

Supplied with a bench top universal power supply for use anywhere in the world, 3-wire AC line cord for the country of use, 12 month warranty and instruction manual.
