Brookfield TC-650 and TC-550 Refrigerated Recirculating Chillers for Precise Temperature Control

The Brookfield TC-650 and TC-550 are *compact refrigerated recirculating chillers* designed for precise thermal control in laboratory environments, essential for biotechnology and molecular diagnostics workflows requiring stable temperature regulation.

• Temperature Range: -20°C to +170°C (-4 to 338°F) with a high stability of ±0.04°C ensures tight control for temperature-sensitive applications such as viscosity measurements, bioprocessing, and cell imaging instrument support.
• Pump & Flow: Integrated two-speed pump delivers up to 2.9 gallons per minute (11.0 liters/min), enabling circulation of temperature-controlled fluids to external devices like Brookfield viscometers, rheometers, jacketed glass reactors, and other water-jacketed laboratory instruments.
• Reservoir Capacity: 7 liters, suitable for continuous operation with benchtop instruments common in biomedical engineering and synthetic biology research.
• Control Interface: Touch-screen controller allows adjustment of temperature setpoints, operational monitoring, and access to service/safety menus, supporting streamlined integration into laboratory workflows.
• Connectivity: USB and network ports facilitate remote monitoring and data integration with compatible control software, beneficial for automated biomanufacturing environments.
• Construction: Chemical-resistant painted housing enhances durability against laboratory spills, promoting long-term reliability.
• Dimensions & Weight:
• TC-650: 9 × 23 × 25 inches, 90 lbs
• TC-550: 17 × 23 × 17 inches, 61 lbs

These chillers are designed to operate without requiring tap water, making them ideal for labs aiming to reduce water usage while ensuring consistent temperature control critical in molecular cloning workflows and biopharmaceutical production pipelines. The unit requires compatible heat transfer fluids and user-supplied tubing/accessories tailored to specific instruments.

Overall, the Brookfield TC series recirculating chillers are indispensable for laboratories needing reliable, compact, and stable recirculating temperature systems widely used across biotechnology, clinical diagnostics, and cell biology research domains.
