A bypass flow monitoring chamber that may be retrofit onto the main chamber of an incubation chamber, for continuous collection of environmental samples. This allows for the measurement and correction of the environmental conditions within the chamber, and the return of the sample to the main chamber. Utilizing this sampling method, the separable bypass flow monitoring chamber may be isolated from the main chamber by a set of valves during a period of high-heat decontamination of the incubator therein protecting the sensors and contents of this separable chamber, as well as allowing the use of less expensive and lower temperature rated incubator sensors.

An incubator for cell and tissue culture under controlled atmospheric conditions has a primary air flow control device that forms a primary, preferably laminar flow, air veil across an opening that allows access to the cells or tissue cultures disposed within the incubator. Preferably, most if not all of the air in the primary (laminar flow) air veil is recirculated, and a secondary air flow control device is used that forms a secondary, preferably laminar flow, air veil between the primary (laminar flow) air veil and a user of the incubator.

A safety cabinet includes a work space where work is performed; a front panel disposed in a front surface of the work space; and an air cleaner that cleans air to be supplied to the work space.

A diagnostic laboratory distribution system, wherein the distribution system comprises a number of carriers adapted to carry one or more goods. The distribution system comprises a transport plane adapted to support the carriers and a drive device, wherein the drive device is adapted to move the carriers on the transport plane, and a control device to control the drive device. The distribution system comprises a cover for the transport plane, and humidity sensors connected to the control device and airflow generating devices connected to the control device. The airflow generating devices are distributed over the distribution system to generate an airflow between the cover and the transport plane. The control device is configured to start the airflow generating devices if the humidity sensors measure a humidity above a predefined threshold value.

An aseptic sampling apparatus includes an isolator, a liquid delivery port that is disposed in the isolator, a sampling section that is disposed inside the isolator, a first flow path that communicates with a discharge flow path of the sampling section, and that connects an inside and outside of the isolator to each other through the liquid delivery port, a fluid supplying unit that supplies a fluid to the sampling section, a gas supplying unit that communicates with the fluid supplying unit, and a seal member that prevents the fluid supplied from fluid supplying unit to the discharge flow path from leaking.

The present disclosure discloses an electronic cooling anti-condensation system, and an anti-condensation method for the same. The system comprises a testing chamber, electronic cooling plates, temperature sensors, a temperature and humidity sensor, a cooling plate control unit, and a main controller. The main controller is electrically connected to the temperature sensors, the temperature and humidity sensor, and the cooling plate control unit. The main controller is capable of calculating a dew point value of the air in the testing chamber according to a temperature value and a humidity value of the interior the testing chamber acquired by the temperature and humidity sensor, and if the dew point value of the air is greater than a pre-determined threshold, the main controller controls the cooling plate control unit to reduce the number of operating electronic cooling plates or output powers of the electronic cooling plates, wherein the pre-determined threshold is a temperature T1° C. of the electronic cooing plate or a temperature T1+n° C. of the electronic cooling plate acquired by the temperature sensor, and n≤is less than or equal to 10. The present disclosure achieves real-time control of operation states of the electronic cooling plates, thereby realizing redundant control of the cooling plates, and preventing the cooling plates from causing condensation in the chamber body, so as to achieve continuous operation when a failure occurs.
