Curious about the types of research and industrial applications our chambers can be used for? Here in our blog we write about interesting advances in fields where our chambers can be used.
Rodent Metabolism Studies at Cold Temperatures
Powers Scientific Rodent Incubators are capable of operating at cold temperatures for metabolism studies, while maintaining fresh air intake at room temperature. Although the temperature of the fresh air affects how low the temperature setting can be and for how long...
Vaccine Storage Refrigerators vs. Lab or Pharmacy Refrigerators
We are often asked if lab or pharmacy refrigerators can be used for storing vaccines... and the answer to that depends on how the vaccines are packaged and positioned inside the refrigerator. A lab or pharmacy refrigerator is designed to keep product at 4-5C (39-41F),...
Energy efficient considerations for laboratory refrigerators and incubators
The energy efficiency of laboratory refrigerators and incubators can be improved immediately, by installing EC evaporator fan motors and LED door lights instead of the standard (shaded pole) fan motors and T8 or T5 fluorescent lights. For example, replacing 2 F32T8's...
Turnkey Conference for Rodent and Animal Research Solutions
This mid-April Conference at the Baltimore Waterfront brought rodent researchers and lab designers together to learn from each other and share evolving trends and technologies. Powers Scientific exhibited there, along with other providers of animal research supplies....

Lab Refrigerators with top-mounted compressors vs. bottom mounted compressors
Lab and pharmacy refrigerators with top-mounted compressors are commonplace in the market today. We make both top and bottom mounted versions in cabinet sizes we offer, but for quiet operation and energy efficiency, bottom mounted models are the best choice. Placing...
