The cooled vacuum oven VO 200cool with its interior volume of 29 litres has a temperature range of +5 °C to +90 °. For cooling purposes, a compact, energy-saving and extremely precise Peltier cooling unit was integrated. This way, the Memmert cooled vacuum oven achieves a surface temperature distribution over its entire temperature range with a deviation of max. +/-1 K.

Gentle low temperature vacuum drying and storage of micro-organisms or active pharmaceutical components is particularly applied in the food and pharmaceutical industry. Thanks to this process, unstable substances can be dried at moderate temperatures above zero without causing too much damage to the cell structure. Additionally, the cooled vacuum oven VOcool from Memmert can be deployed to easily and cost-effectively simulate storage and transport of pharmaceutical products during intercontinental flights.

Thanks to a combination of temperature, humidity and digital CO₂ control, the 256C model can also be universally applied for building material tests or for applications in the field of cell biology that require temperatures below room temperature.

The climate chamber covers a temperature range of -10 °C to +60 °C without humidity and from +10 °C to +60 °C with humidity. Active humidification and de-humidification can be set between 10 and 80% rh. The electronic CO₂ control with automatic zero setting (NDIR measuring system) in the ICH 256C ensures an absolutely precise CO₂ atmosphere from 0 to 20 % with an adjustment precision of 0.1 %. CO₂ is introduced via a sterile filter.

The ICH series is completed by the climate chamber ICH 256 for stability tests of pharmaceuticals, as well as the ICH 256L with an illumination unit in accordance with ICH Q1B, option 2.

Memmert has a problem, the appliances last too long.“ We often hear these words from our customers, said with the wink of an eye. We, however, do not regard this as a problem, but take it as one of the greatest compliments that could be paid to us. It just confirms the fact that outstanding quality is the basis for the trust and loyalty of our customers and users.

We would like to thank you for showing us this trust. From March 1st, 2011, we are therefore extending the guarantee period for our appliances to three years worldwide. Standard wear-and-tear parts, such as seals, light sources, filters or pump membranes are excluded.

From sample collection to final results, AES CHEMUNEX develops and manufactures a full range of culture media, tests and automated equipment for microbiology laboratories.

Blainville, QC, November 10th, 2010 – Innovation Diagnostics Inc. is pleased to announce that Mr. Jacques Pilon has joined the Company as Validation Coordinator to lead our newly established instrument validation initiative.

Jacques has an impressive track record and is a recognized leader in the field of system and process validation. Prior to his appointment with Innovation Diagnostics, Jacques worked in various Pharmaceutical and Contract Manufacturing Companies (CMO) where he successfully implemented validation processes and participated in the setup of highly regulated manufacturing facilities.

Over and above his involvement in the validation field, Jacques will be offering consulting services, on-site validation of systems and processes and a full range of products particularly in the field of thermo-regulated appliances, temperature monitoring systems and environmental monitoring.
