FAQs

Can the Accel 500 handle both rapid heating and cooling cycles?

Yes. Its design supports fast temperature ramping in both directions, making it suitable for dynamic applications that require frequent shifts between heating and cooling.

How does the compact design benefit lab setups?

The small footprint allows placement on crowded benches or within limited lab space while still delivering powerful performance, freeing up room for other essential equipment.

What type of samples or processes benefit most from the Accel 500?

It is ideal for medium-scale processes such as chromatography, spectroscopy, and material testing that require stable, controlled thermal environments.

Does the Accel 500 reduce downtime for lab teams?

Yes. With reliable temperature stability (±0.1°C) and automated safety features like a low-level switch, the unit minimizes interruptions and helps keep workflows running smoothly.

Can this unit be integrated into multi-lab global operations?

Absolutely. Its USB digital interface and universal compliance standards make it easy to integrate across multiple facilities, including global CDMO pharma companies and biotech labs.
