Mixer or Controller?
Okolab Microscope Incubators can be alternatively equipped with two types of CO2 Modules: a Manual CO2 Mixer or a Digital CO2 Controller.
|
Manual CO2 Mixer
It allows to generate COB2B-Air mixtures with an adjustable COB2B concentration in the range 0-15%. Air and COB2B flows are regulated by two floating ball flow meters in the range 0.2 1.7 Nl/min and 0.013 0.13 Nl/min, respectively.

Digital CO2 Controller
It allows to generate a CO2-Air mixture with an adjustable CO2 concentration in the range 0-20%, with an accuracy of ± 5% of CO2 concentration, for instance, if CO2 set point is 5%, accuracy is ± 0.25% . The air flow is regulated by a floating ball air flow meter in the range 0.2 0.8 Nl/min.
Sensing Technology
A CO2 infrared sensor continuously measures CO2 concentration in the mixed gas stream and a PID closed loop controller gives feedback to a fine valve regulating CO2 flow. Measured value of CO2 concentration is displayed in real time in green . An alarm can be set on CO2 concentration, so that, if CO2 concentration goes below such value, display color turns red and a buzzer turns on.
Data Storage
The serial RS-232 interface and the CO2 Control Software allow the user to control the unit with a personal computer and to acquire and store concentration data in computer memory.
