The concept of the Multitron II is based on nearly ten years of experience. Development of such a system has provided the optimum solution to lack of space in the laboratory and changing requirements regarding shaking capacity. The potential for operating error or damage due to flask breakage has been virtually eliminated.
The step up to the new generation, Multitron II, is proof that the concept is both valid and forward-looking. Almost unchanged in appearance externally, it represents a perfectly mature product using modern technology and having a broad applicability to routine tasks in research and industry. One change to the concept: the system no longer has a Master unit plus one or two dependent satellites but three separate,
independent Master units.
PID-control, along with a new flow-
through ventilation pathway, ensures a uniform temperature distribution across the entire tray of flasks. Modern microprocessor technology, moreover, enables cyclical changes of individual parameters for e.g. simulation of day/night conditions. Each unit has an RS232 connection and therefore
can be connected to a computer.
With suitable software, the different
parameters can be both logged and controlled remotely.
