Quorum K850 Critical Point Dryer

The Quorum K850 combines versatility and ease of operation with built-in thermo-electric heating and adiabatic cooling allow precise temperature control.

The vertical pressure chamber (32 mm diameter x 47 mm) has a side viewing port, which gives a clear view of the liquid meniscus during filling.

A magnetic stirrer ensures optimal mixing and exchange of process fluids.

The K850 Critical Point Dryer is fitted with thermo-electronic heating and adiabatic cooling and temperature control of +5°C cooling and +35°C during heating. This allows pre-cooling of the chamber and ensures that the critical point is accurately obtained.

The K850 is fitted with three valves: fluid inlet, flushing and a gas venting system which uses a fine needle valve to give controlled pressure let down at the end of the critical point drying process.

A built-in magnetic stirrer ensures thorough mixing of specimens with circulating fluids.
