P Series

Visually simple, yet technologically complex.

Simple Culture

The P Series by ARA is a simple yet highly advanced CO2 Incubator, with intuitive touch screen control that displays real time graphical data. As for heating, instead of using forced air circulation, we have chosen the fan-less system, and developed our own intelligent thermally active surface technology for creating passive air circulation. This eliminates the risk of contamination in the chamber, and minimizes the exposed electronic parts in the enclosed environment. It is simple, yet complex.

Due to the use of modular hardwares, the user can easily reverse the door opening without ordering separate parts. The long belt like strip works as a door handle in either direction, without any modification.

Solid Block Hardware

The key hardwares that form the P Series are CNC-milled from solid aluminum blocks to ensure the highest quality and durability.

P150 / P170 — Passive Air Circulation (Fanless)

Passive Air Circulation minimizes airflow disturbance and vibration
No HEPA filter required for maintenance-free operation
6-sided direct heating for stable temperature control
Accurate CO₂ regulation via Dual-Beam NDIR sensor
Temperature and CO₂ alarm system
Real-time trend monitoring via 7-inch LCD touchscreen
Built-in 140°C high-temperature sterilization

P170F — Active Air Circulation (Fan-assisted)

Active Air Circulation for rapid recovery and uniform environmental control
Uniform temperature and CO₂ distribution throughout the chamber
UV-assisted sterilization for chamber and internal surfaces
PID-based temperature and CO₂ regulation
High-humidity chamber for stable culturing conditions
Safety interlock that stops fan and CO₂ supply when door opens
