Diverse Array of Applications
STABILITY & SHELF
LIFE TESTING
Accurate, dependable, and easy to use test chambers are crucial for stability testing of active pharmaceutical ingredients, photostability testing of drug product samples, or shelf life testing of finished pharmaceutical product.
CELL CULTURE
Repeatable in-vitro mammalian cell culture requires pure and high quality culture media, clean and healthy cell lines, a precise and well maintained CO2 incubator, and good general aseptic culture technique.
REFRIGERATED
STORAGE
Refrigerated (5C) storage of pharmaceutical research compounds, chemicals, biological samples, and compounded drugs requires highly stable and consistent temperature control, as well as tight temperature uniformity, over long periods of time.
PLANT GROWTH
Most plants require light exposure, to facilitate photosynthesis. Different organisms, or organisms at different points in the growth process, may require higher or lower levels of light intensity.
INSECT REARING
Insects continue to serve as valuable research subjects, for applications such fly or worm model developmental studies, epidemiology, and plant pathology.
ANIMAL REARING
Small animals are widely used for human disease modelling, developmental and genetic studies.
MATERIALS TESTING
All materials and assemblies used in industrial, commercial, and consumer products applications should be tested to establish real-world durability and esthetic benchmarks.
DEVICE COOLING
Many types of instruments produce waste heat, and require external cooling to function. Applications include, but are not limited.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Sharing answers to common inquiries
All Caron chambers require ph-neutral water of between 50K Ohms and 1Meg Ohms resistivity. This type of water can be obtained from distilled, reverse osmosis (RO) or deionized (DI) sources. Caron offers a system, the CRSY condensate recirculator, for facilities without a house water system.
Less pure water, with resistivity less than 50K Ohms, can lead to difficult to remove mineral deposits on system components, or within the chamber. Water of greater purity, such as ultrapure or Water For Injection (WFI) above 1 Meg Ohm can attack key unit components, causing damage not covered under warranty. See our Water Specifications Bulletin for more details.
