Protection from waterborne contamination

Thermo Fisher Scientific has introduced its new Thermo Scientific AquaTec water preservation cell for the prevention of waterborne contamination in CO2 incubators and water baths.

Designed to provide worry-free sample incubation and cell culture, the AquaTec provides up to six months’ protection from more than 600 types of bacteria, viruses, moulds and fungi.

The Thermo Scientific AquaTec does not use harsh chemicals, is safe to handle and requires no special disposal protocols. The AquaTec is designed and tested for all types of laboratory water, is suitable for use in equipment from any manufacturer, and is applicable across a broad temperature range.

Just one three-inch AquaTec cell placed in the water reservoir provides long-lasting disinfection without the need for mixing or measuring potentially hazardous materials. Self-regulation maintains the correct level of antimicrobial concentration, regardless of water level, negating the need for constant monitoring and testing or equipment dismantling. In addition, the AquaTec includes a convenient peel-off reminder calendar that indicates when replacement is recommended.
