TURBOSOG

Compact scrubber system for extraction and neutralisation of aggressive acid fumes.

KT Eco Kit

The KT Eco Kit, consisting of a thermoplate (available for KT 20 or higher) and fan, is the perfect enhancement for laboratories with a high sample throughput and modern energyefficiency standards. The plate covers the heated block, preventing unnecessary heat losses during the cooling phase. The additional fan significantly accelerates cooling of the samples even further. Both accessory parts are also available separately.

• Significantly accelerated cooling phase for samples enables quicker transfer to VAPODEST^®

– 30 min. without equipment

– 20 min. with thermoplate
– 15 min. with fan

–  11 min. with complete KT Eco Kit*
•  The thermoplate keeps the heat in the block up to three times longer*
•  The thermoplate can be stored with the attachment on the block to save space
•  The fan, which is available individually, can also be used to reduce the block to an ideal starting temperature for the next digestion in the case of samples with a

high water content.
