Description
The Thermo Scientific Polar Series Accel 500 LC Recirculating Chiller is engineered to deliver 500 watts of cooling performance, nearly double that of the entry-level Accel 250. With a wide working temperature range of –10°C to +80°C, this unit supports rapid transitions between heating and cooling, ensuring consistent, high-precision temperature control.
Designed with USB digital communication and a force pump system, the Accel 500 integrates smoothly into modern laboratories that demand reliability, compliance, and efficiency. Its compact design conserves bench space while maintaining the rugged dependability expected from Thermo Fisher Scientific.
This model is trusted in pharma CDMO companies, biotech research, and Patheon pharmaceuticals facilities where uptime, accuracy, and validated performance are essential.
