Let's look at this laboratory chiller...Very impressed by the crating of this chiller. The equipment is sizeable and heavy. It took two movers to move the crate up one flight of stairs. All contents inside were perfectly protected with no damage. We are a small lab that performs pharmaceutical development of investigational products. Since we have many different development projects, we need a flexible lab understanding that our equipment is also flexible. The operating temperatures are perfect for our wide variety of temperature uses. The construction materials were favorable and ideal for a lab environment. Controls of the unit are entirely push button, and a nice digital screen with just the information you need. Our first use of the machine was in the range of 25C and 48C. The circulator worked well and responded to temperature set points very quickly. The materials of construction were favorable and perfect for a lab environment. Yes, there are occasional reasons to buy similar units for quadruple the price, but this solution was perfect in this case! Disclosure Statement: You should read the manual before operating it. Not like me.
