Summary: Torrey Pines Scientific has launched the EchoTherm CO50, a programmable HPLC column chiller/heater that offers precise temperature control from 4.0°C to 100.0°C, ideal for biomedical and chiral chromatography applications.

Takeaways:

  1. Precise Temperature Control: The EchoTherm CO50 offers a temperature range from 4.0°C to 100.0°C, with PID control software ensuring stability to within ±0.2°C for accurate, repeatable chromatography results.
  2. Advanced Programmability: With five-program memory, the CO50 can store up to 10 steps per program and automatically repeat any program up to 99 times, enhancing its flexibility for various chromatography applications.
  3. User-Friendly Features: The unit includes an RS232 port for external control, a 30-day timer, an injection counter, and a chamber drain, making it practical and easy to integrate into laboratory workflows.

Torrey Pines Scientific announced the release of its new EchoTherm model CO50 programmable HPLC column chiller/heater.

The unit has a temperature range from 4.0°C to 100.0°C readable and settable to 0.1°C. The PID control software regulates temperatures to ±0.2°C, even at ambient. The CO50 has a Stable Temperature LED that illuminates when the target temperature is stable to within ±0.2°C.

The Peltier-based CO50 has five-program memory of 10 steps per program and the ability to repeat any program from 1 to 99 times automatically. It is ideal for chiral and biomedical chromatography where below ambient temperatures help preserve bioactivity. It can be used for stabilizing column temperatures from day to day at or near room temperatures for repeatable results. The CO50 holds columns up to 30cm long by one-quarter inch or three-eighths of an inch in diameter in mounting clips provided. Larger diameter columns can be used by removing the column clips that hold the smaller columns.

The CO50 features RS232 I/O port for controlling the unit by a chromatograph, for programming gradients, and for data collection. Also included are an injection counter, 30-day timer with user settable auto-off, and chamber drain for spills.

The unit comes with a benchtop universal power supply for use anywhere in the world, three-wire AC line cord for the country of use, twelve-month warranty and instruction manual. The Model CO50 is ETL, CSA, and CE compliant.
