Sheldon Manufacturing, Inc. Continues Expansion of the SHEL LAB CO2 Incubator Line with the new 3500 Series

Sheldon Manufacturing has added a new series of CO2 Incubator to the existing line of SHEL LAB constant temperature equipment. The new 3500 series of CO2 Incubators feature an anti-corrosion anode, front mounted connections and a redesigned exterior. This series marks Sheldon Manufacturing's 35th anniversary as a laboratory equipment manufacturer for clinical, laboratory, and industrial applications.

November 4, 2005 -- Sheldon Manufacturing, Inc. is marking its 35th anniversary with the launch of the SHEL LAB 3500 series CO2 Incubator. The new 3500 series furthers existing design innovations for greater contamination control and extended operation. A modern and colorful exterior compliments the addition of new anti-corrosion, and convenience features. “The 3500 series is a great new product that clearly demonstrates our manufacturing and design expertise,” says Julie Kay Schatzman of Sheldon Manufacturing.

The latest line of SHEL LAB (www.shellab.com) CO2 Incubators has incorporated multiple new features such as a Dis-similar metal anode in the water jacket. This anti-corrosion anode was integrated to allow researchers to put good quality tap water into the water jacket of the chamber without worrying about corrosion. This eliminates the hassle and expense of using distilled water and allows the safe use of tap water in the stainless steel chamber. In addition, there is an accessory kit available to allow existing SHEL LAB CO2 Incubator users to install the protection of an anti-corrosion anode.

Contamination Control
The SHEL LAB CO2 Incubator employs 100% stainless steel chambers and shelving, fully coved corners (not available in model 3502), and a removable inner door gasket that can be autoclaved. The 3500 Series Incubators come standard with a patented copper-housed HEPA filter to inhibit bacterial growth and provide continuous decontamination. The stainless steel interior is designed with fully coved corners making de-contamination and cleaning convenient. The CO2 sample port and data logger connections are located on the front control panel for quick setup and easy access.

This family of CO2 Incubators is available with Infrared and Thermal Conductivity Sensors and ranges in chamber sizes of 1.8 cu.ft (50 liters) to 6.12 cu.ft (170 liters). By stacking the 6.12 cu.ft chambers, users are able to have a compact 12.25 cu.ft (340 liters) of incubation space. The new SHEL LAB 3500 Series CO2 Incubator will be on display at The American Society for Cell Biology’s annual conference at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, December 12th-14th booth #1830.
