AlgaeTrons
Research under controlled growing conditions
AlgaeTron, a compact light incubator, supports precise cultivation of algae, cyanobacteria, and plant tissue efficiently. It offers cost-effective, space-efficient solutions, ensuring optimal conditions crucial for cultures' thriving. Whether you use Petri dishes, multi-well plates, or Erlenmeyer flasks, AlgaeTron easily adapts to your research needs. Its control system is straightforward, featuring a user-friendly touchscreen interface operated via a compact computer. This enables independent control of temperature and lighting through user protocols.
Intuitive Control: The AlgaeTron features straightforward controls through a 7-inch color touchscreen. The intuitive software facilitates highly variable programming of lights, temperature, diurnal cycle simulations, and more, making it easier than ever to manage your cultivation environment.
Advanced LED Illumination: Benefit from high light intensity with minimal sample heating. The AlgaeTron offers independent control of white and far-red LEDs, ensuring improved spatial homogeneity. With full control over light intensity, adjustable up to
500 µmol.m-2.s-1 (and upgradable to 1500 µmol.m-2.s-1), you can tailor the lighting conditions to meet the specific needs of your cultures.
Optimal Cultivation Conditions: AlgaeTron features an internal air pump and every illuminated shelf comes with built-in gas ports for appropriate aeration with air or desired gases. The shelves can be fitted with shakers for the continual stirring of liquid samples. The stainless steel interior promotes sterile conditions, while efficient forced air circulation ensures uniform environment throughout the chamber.
Durability and Eco-Friendliness: Featuring a galvanized coated steel external chassis, the AlgaeTron is built to last. Additionally, its use of eco-friendly R290 refrigerant and efficient air supply system demonstrates our commitment to environmental sustainability without compromising performance.
Gas Mixing System GMS 150 can produce precise mixtures of up to 4 different gases. The flows of the individual input gases are measured by thermal mass flow meters and adjusted by integrated mass flow controllers. Before the exit connector, the gas mixture is thoroughly homogenized. The input and output gas connectors are of Prestolok type allowing fast and secure connection to a variety of tubes. GMS 150 is typically used to control flow of air, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen. Additional gases like nitrogen dioxide, ammonia, helium and others can also be added to simulate various technological mixtures or smokestack gases. GMS 150 mass flow meters and controllers can operate gas flows ranging from 1 ml/min to 1,000 l/min (customized version). Flow ranges are controllable from 2 % to 100 % of total flow value. The controllers of GMS 150 can be calibrated on maximum flow range according to customer requirements. GMS 150 can be used as a stand-alone instrument and operated locally via front panel display. The required gas mixture can be defined either by setting the absolute flows of individual gasses (e.g. 980 ml/min of air and 20 ml/min of CO2) or by setting the required relative composition of the final gas mixture (2 % CO2 in air) and the total gas flow (1,000 ml/min).
Standard version of the device designed for laboratory scale systems enables the maximum total flow of 2 l/min and maximum CO2 flow rate 40 ml/min. The typical GMS version designed for large-scale facilities allows the maximum total flow 10 or 20 l/min for channel 1 and 400 or 800 ml/min for channel 2.
Newly, PSI introduces Gas Mixing System GMS 150-MICRO - friendly-priced basic version of the GMS 150. It retains all features of the GMS 150 and the major difference is the limited choice of gas flow meters restricted to maximum total flows ranging from 10 ml/min to 2.5 l/min and lower accuracy of mixing. Standard version of the GMS 150-MICRO is equipped with two channels (channel 1 for Air-N2; channel 2 for CO2); the maximum total flow is 2 l/min (channel 1), the maximum flow rate of channel 2 is 40 ml/min. Optionally the system can be upgraded to four channels version according to customer requirements.
