New environmental chamber delivers precise control for regulated labs

Thermo Fisher Scientific has launched the Thermo Scientific™ Heratherm™ Environmental Chamber, designed to replicate exact environmental conditions for shipping, storage, or research applications. Delivering repeatable and consistent performance, the chamber features a data capture system supporting 21 CFR Part 11 compliance, making it ideal for highly regulated laboratories. Available in four models, the Heratherm Environmental Chamber offers flexible configurations to meet the diverse demands of pharmaceutical, academic, and industrial workflows.

Sustainability is a key focus for many large institutions, and the Heratherm Environmental Chamber addresses this without compromising quality. Its wide temperature and stability range is supported by energy-efficient Peltier electric heating and cooling, reducing energy use and eliminating hazardous refrigerants. LED lighting, including programmable UV light for ICH-compliant testing, and a water-efficient humidification system with an integrated tank, further enhance the chamber’s eco-credentials.

“Quality control is essential in every lab, and our Environmental Chambers provide precise control, robust data management, and traceability,” said Lindsey Low, Director and General Manager, Constant Temperature, Water Purification and Shakers at Thermo Fisher. “Customer feedback helped shape design enhancements, resulting in a solution that is sleek, reliable, and high-performing.”

The Heratherm Environmental Chamber supports a range of applications. Pharmaceutical and biotech labs can conduct quality control and micro-incubation studies. Academic labs benefit from stability testing, plant growth studies, animal hatching, and light simulation experiments. Industrial labs, including cosmetics, food and beverage, packaging, and battery testing, can rely on the chamber for shelf-life studies and environmental simulations.

The four models cater to specific needs: Light Chambers for light-sensitive products, Stability Chambers for shelf-life and stability testing, CO₂ Chambers for controlled cell growth conditions, and Incubation Chambers for microbiological incubation and temperature-dependent storage.
