Revolutionary device offers long-lasting prevention of waterborne contamination
Thermo Fisher Scientific has introduced the AquaTec water preservation cell for the effective prevention of waterborne contamination in carbon dioxide incubators and water baths.
Designed to provide worry-free sample incubation and cell culture, the AquaTec provides up to six months of protection from more than 600 types of bacteria, viruses, moulds and fungi. It enables the prevention of microbes from water without the use of harsh chemicals, making it safe to handle and requiring no special disposal protocols.
The AquaTec is designed and tested for all types of laboratory water and is suitable for use in equipment from any manufacturer across a broad range of biological research temperature environments.
One 3-inch AquaTec cell placed into the water reservoir provides long-lasting disinfection without the need for mixing or measuring potentially hazardous materials. Self-regulation maintains the correct level of antimicrobial concentration regardless of water level, negating the need for constant monitoring and testing, or equipment dismantling, and saving valuable research time.
It has optional suction cups for placement and fixation in the water bath or incubator reservoir, and a convenient peel-off reminder calendar that indicates when replacement is recommended.
