(Marietta, OH, May 5, 2010) Caron Products is pleased to announce the introduction of the new Oasis™ (Model 6400) benchtop CO2 incubator as the newest addition to its rapidly growing line of scientific products. Caron will introduce this unit at the American Society for Microbiology (ASM) 110th General Meeting in San Diego in booth 639.

The Oasis™ provides a safe and accurately controlled environment for cell and tissue cultures to flourish. This benchtop unit contains 6 cu. ft. of high grade, stainless steel interior volume, and is compact and stackable. This sleek design includes proven technologies scientists have come to rely on in cell culture incubators, along with innovations and product quality, setting it apart from competitive models.

"Over the last few years, Caron successfully launched new products into the reach-in CO2 market with best-in-class features," said Dave Figel, Vice President of Engineering & Operations. "It is only natural for customers to request the same high value products in the benchtop CO2 incubator market."

The Oasis™ maintains high relative humidity and precisely controls temperature and CO2. Some standard features include: an Infrared (IR) Sensor; tri-zone heating design; rapid, overnight decontamination cycle with a drying phase that eliminates messy cabinet wipe-down; polished stainless steel interior with coved corners; an intuitive, easy to operate, intelligent control panel; ISOCIDE antimicrobial powder coated exterior paint and much more!

"The Oasis™ series incorporates the most desirable features available in CO2 incubators on the market today and combines them with Caron's unique technologies to create a superior product at an affordable price," Figel said. "We take typical features offered by others one step further by adding customer-convenience, all in an ergonomic, attractive platform. It is, without a doubt, the new standard for benchtop CO2 incubators."

The design also features a wide variety of optional accessories to customize the unit to an individual application.

"Caron not only offers top-quality products with best-in-class features, but we back our products with customer service that begins with an initial customer inquiry and continues throughout the lifetime of our products," Figel said. "Customers who call on Caron for applications support know of our intense commitment to customer service."
