A new generation of Huber Ministat thermoregulators combines compactness, high performance and operational flexibility.

A new generation of Huber Ministat thermoregulators combines compactness, high performance and operational flexibility.

Available in three models enabling temperature control from -40 to +200C the new Ministat family is built for the crowded laboratory workbench or for use in fume hoods where space is at a premium.

All-stainless-steel construction eliminates the need for a gasket between the frame and the bath improving insulation and enhancing long-term durability and chemical resistance.

Thermal transfer from the bath to the outer casing, which may result in condensation on cooled systems or a hot surface in heated systems, is prevented by an innovative thermal control system Using Huber's proven "plug and play" technology the Ministat family provides unmatched applications flexibility through a choice of interchangeable controllers, insert cards and new high-performance variable-speed pump.

The backlit LCD display has been designed for simple and intuitive operation.

For laboratory based applications requiring precise and repeatable temperature the "calibration insert" provides control stability to better than 0.01K.

Where the Minstat is being used to control the temperature of an external device the "displacement insert" reduces the bath volume and directs the increased power to the external application.

All units in the Ministat family are fitted with an independent over temperature protection and bath-fluid level monitoring devices.

When activated the units give a visual and audible warning and shutdown to standby mode avoiding damage to the system or experiment.

All Ministat cooling systems are CFC and HCFC free.
