Lauda Alpha RA8 Recirculating Chiller for Precise Laboratory Temperature Control

The Lauda Alpha RA8 is a compact recirculating chiller engineered for precise temperature control in laboratory settings. Supporting an extensive operating temperature range from *–25°C to +100°C*, it suits diverse thermal workflows in biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and bioprocessing applications without the need for multiple units.

Key technical specifications include:

• Cooling capacity: 225W at 20°C enabling efficient heat dissipation for sensitive biomanufacturing processes
• Pump flow rate: 15 L/min with 0.2 bar pump pressure to maintain consistent fluid circulation essential in synthetic biology experiments and cell imaging temperature management
• Temperature stability: ±0.05 K ensuring precise thermal conditions for critical molecular biology protocols such as gene editing and protein crystallization
• Operating environment: 5°C to 40°C with relative humidity tolerances of 80% (up to 31°C) and 50% (at 40°C)
• Reservoir constructed from corrosion-resistant 304 stainless steel with a filling volume between 5.0L and 7.5L, suitable for extended experimental runs
• Compact dimensions (10 x 17 x 24 inches) and lightweight (68 lbs) design suitable for space-constrained clinical diagnostics labs and research facilities
• User-friendly interface consisting of a three-key control and single-line LED display for ease of operation without programming complexity
• Audible and visual alarms for overtemperature, low liquid level, and flow restriction enhance unattended operation reliability in biomanufacturing pipelines

The Lauda Alpha RA8 is ideal for research laboratories, quality control departments, and industrial environments requiring stable and dependable temperature control without advanced networking features. Its robust build and reliable circulation make it widely adopted in live-cell imaging, fluorescence analysis, and essential laboratory temperature regulation processes critical in biotechnology research and molecular cloning workflows.

Included accessories comprise a stainless steel reservoir lid, inlet/outlet tubing, a 12V power cord (13A), and a detailed user manual, backed by a 30-day warranty. This refrigerated circulating chiller is a reliable solution tailored for precise temperature management in varied biotechnology and molecular biology laboratory applications.
