WHY NO FAN DESIGN IS SO BENEFICIAL
|
|
LEEC have designed its incubator specifically to offer the lowest risk of contamination. Contamination which can enter into an incubator from the laboratory, having been introduced by clothing, by individuals hair, by ventilation system, by open windows or by the soles of shoes. Once in the incubator of course the contamination finds it easy to lock onto the fan, the fan then spreads the contamination effectively and makes the problem even greater.
The fan remains the single most difficult item component in an incubator to clean. For this reason those people who have designed incubators with fans have had to put an expensive Hepa filter in front of the fan to protect it. This adds another dimension of risk and indeed cost.
|
|
You too may be experiencing these problems:
|
|
Firstly, the filter has to be changed on a regular basis if it is to be effective. The process of that change means that contamination can spill from the dirty filter during the process of change.
Secondly the door is open for a long time during that change process and more contamination can enter and lock onto the fan.
Thirdly the process is time consuming and costly.
Fourthly if the filter is not changed then the incubator system is not working to its best capacity. Fifthly the fan and filter take up valuable user space within the chamber. The fan less design eradicates all the associated problems that are associated with having a fan.

|
|
The benefits of LEEC incubators being fanless:
|
|
|
|
| |
Significantly reduced risk of contamination |
| |
Zero vibration: eradicates any possibility of cell edging effect |
| |
Significantly less evaporation; minimise loss of water in the water tray, hence less risk of sample evaporation and possible desiccation |
| |
Considerably easier to clean |
| |
Very easy and quick to remove shelves and shelf racks for ease of cleaning |
| |
Considerably more useable space, no ducting or built in Hepa to minimise useable space |
| |
No hidden areas or crevasses that can be difficult to clean |
|
| |
No fan maintenance |
| |
No extra costs to replace expensive fan Hepa filters and associated health risks in doing so |
| |
Helps to minimise loss of chamber conditions during inner glass door opening |
| |
No turbulent airflow that can spread contamination introduced into the inner chamber quickly. |
