Overview
The BT220 is a compact, easy-to-use shaking incubator water tank from Yamato Scientific. The number of shakes can be adjusted from 20 to 160 times per minute using a knob, and the unit is equipped with a shaking ON/OFF switch so it can also be used as an incubator water tank without shaking. Temperature can be set digitally with an up/down key, and high precision temperature control combined with pump-driven bath shaking allows higher temperature distribution accuracy. Despite its compact size, it holds up to 72 test tubes of 16.5mm diameter or three 300 mL conical flasks, and its safety is improved with a dual overheat preventive device, a no-liquid heating preventive device, and an over current electric leakage breaker.
Adjustable Shaking
The number of shakes can be adjusted at any value from 20 to 160 times per minute using a knob.
Dual-Purpose Water Tank
The unit is equipped with a shaking ON/OFF switch and can be used as an incubator water tank without shaking.
High Precision Temperature Control
Digital temperature setting with an up/down key, combined with pump-driven shaking in the bath, allows higher temperature distribution accuracy.
Compact Capacity
The compact unit holds up to 72 test tubes of 16.5mm diameter or three 300 mL conical flasks.
Improved Safety
Safety is improved with a dual overheat preventive device, a no-liquid heating preventive device, and an over current electric leakage breaker.
