2-Inner Door Option
2 Inner doors allow chamber conditions to be more readily maintained when frequent entry is required to the chamber.

Oxygen Control
2 Oxygen control options are available: 1-19% & 0.1-19%
Both control systems consist of nitrogen injection to accurately control the desired below ambient Oxygen level.

Humidity Tray Warning
An optical level sensor is an option that monitors humidity tray water level, this consists of an audible alarm. The detection level provides in excess of 2 days normal operation loss so as to accommodate long weekend periods of non attendance.
