Kryo550-16 Features
Precision temperature control
Accurate linear heating and cooling is achieved by the pulsing of a heater and controlled
injection of atomised liquid nitrogen into the chamber.
Precision temperature monitoring
The chamber temperature is measured by a platinum resistance thermometer (PRT).
Stainless steel construction
The chamber is made from high-quality stainless steel for durability and cleanliness.
Programmable control
The operation is controlled by a microprocessor based system. The controller stores the
profile that specifies start temperature, step rates etc. in non-volatile memory. The profile can
be retained in memory for several years, even if power to the Kryo550-16 is disconnected.
The profile can be changed by using the DeltaT™ software on a personal computer (PC).
Stand-alone operation
The Kryo550-16 can store a profile that can run independently of the personal computer (PC).

Heat / Cool switches
Manual override push button switches on the interface panel allow manual control of the
heating and cooling functions.
Personal Computer (PC)
The DeltaT ™ or DeltaT-iQ ™ software on a PC enables you to create and store profiles.
You can run these profiles from the PC and view the recorded chamber and sample
temperatures graphically. All results from the run are stored on the PC for traceability
purposes.
Any profile you run from the PC may be selected to be stored in the Kryo550-16's memory
(overwriting any previously stored profile). This enables you to rerun the profile directly
from the freezer without having the PC connected. See
Kryo550-16 Profile Memory .
Printer
If you are using a PC, it is strongly recommended that you connect a printer. You can use the
printer for such tasks as printing profiles and graphs.
