The Kryo 550-16 incorporates all of the critical features expected from a high specification biological chamber. The ºC to + 40 ºC temperature range allows flexibility for a wide range of applications and protocols. The -180 ºC end temperature ensures the sample integrity while transferring to long term storage.
The integrated Focused Control Technology provides secure and accurate profile control. This ensures that even when connected to a host PC, the freezer control remains unaffected by any failures that may occur on a external computer or network. The controller includes protection against short term power failures.
PC connectivity is provided by an RS232 connection providing profile editing, real-time run graphs and PC storage of run data via the DeltaT application. Calibration and Qualification tools can also be provided when connected to DeltaT-iQ. |
Alternatively the optional in-built server provides a quick and trouble-free method of accessing the host device from any PC on a network. The heart of the unit is the device-specific application and web site, resident in the server which allows customised access to the host device. The web enabled 550 also benefits from simple connection to an ethernet network, no software to install and SMTP mail server for e-mail notifications. FCT Focus control technology (FCT) is Planer’s answer to avoidable failures. FCT uses a single dedicated control board (PID engine), which runs the freezer not subject to interference from other processes. All other processes such as local keypresses, displays and comms with a PC are handled by a separate control board. The PID Engine handles all of the current run operation, including the current profile and current KryoFile. The profile is downloaded to the PID Engine which then runs the freezer independently.
The profile contains the information about temperatures and hold times and the KryoFile stores information on the resultant temperature variants. The PID engine contains a micro processor which also handles the control and measurement of the current run. Power failure protection is designed to bridge the gap between power failing and a back-up generator cutting in. All freezers have 1 minute power failure protection built in. If power returns within 1 minute freezing will continue normally without user intervention. Focus Control Technology (FCT) encompasses a number of advanced features built into every Planer freezer to give the highest degree of reliability.
