Tissue Culture Rooms

Airmont tissue culture rooms offer the most precise control and uniformity available for sensitive tissue culture work. These units provide uniform temperature control from 10°C to 40°C ±0.5°C at any point in the work area. This helps assure consistency among culture samples and allows you to fully utilize the work area without concern for loading effects on performance.

Tissue culture rooms come standard with a microprocessor control that allows precise control of lighting and temperature. Humidification can be provided as an option.

Standard Design Features:
- Four inch thick R-30 to R-34 foamed in-place urethane insulation, six inch available
- Easy installation with lightweight modular urethane panels
- Modular design for easy installation and expansion
- Wide variety of refrigeration packages to fit every refrigeration requirement
- Flush-fitting, condensation-free door frames and sills
- Tongue and groove panels with foamed-in-place gaskets
- Reinforced stainless steel door frames and sills
- Camlift, self-closing door with magnetic door gasket and door closer

Room Construction

Standard wall, ceiling and floor panels shall be 11-1/2", 23", 34-1/2" and 46" in width and shall be interchangeable with the like panels. Standard heights of walk-ins with floors shall be 8'-5", 9'-5" and 10'-5". Corner panels shall be 90 degree angles with 12" exterior horizontal measurements.

Available standard heights without floors, with PVC Screeds are 8'-1", 8'-5", 9'-1", 9'-5", 10'-1", 10'-5". We can also design and build custom sizes to fit your facility requirement.

Panels shall consist of "foamed-in-place" urethane insulation sandwiched between interior and exterior metal "skin" which has been die-formed and gauged for uniformity in size.

Edges of panels shall be "foamed-in-place" tongue and groove with locking facilities "foamed-in-place" at time of fabrication.

Floor Construction:

A. Floor Type: Panels shall be fabricated with 16 gauge stainless steel, designed to readily withstand uniformity-distributed loads of 600 lbs. Per square foot.

B. Floorless: Provide thermally effective PVC floor screeds. Screeds will be designed to hug floor surface and terminated in a coved radius at both interior and exterior floor joint, Flat-Bottomed Walls are also available and will sit directly on the floor surface.

SIZES: Standard and custom from small step-ins to large drive-ins; modular design allows customer to determine the best fit.

Conditioning Equipment

Airmont's condensing units are designed and manufactured to fit your needs. Condensing units for tissue culture rooms will be single stage and can be supplied in either air cooled or water cooled. We use heavy duty industrial semi-hermetic or hermetic compressors for maximum reliability.

Airmont offers internal evaporator/blower or remote air handling systems. All systems will utilize solid state proportional control valves to precisely control the room temperature. Redundant conditioning systems with automatic switchover can be supplied for critical applications.

Controls

At each room is a direct digital controller to maintain and monitor temperature (and optional humidity). Output relays control the blower (usually kept on except for maintenance, safety or defrost) and the liquid line solenoid valve for system on/off and low temperature safety. Actual temperature regulation is accomplished by precisely modulating the refrigeration system and electric heat. Operating parameters are programmed into the controller. Whether connected or not to the network, each controller acts to maintain the set point of the connected coolers.
