Boekel Scientific FS100 – Floor Standing Platelet Incubator Agitator

• 25 Removable shelves to store up to 100 units of platelets
• Massive 7” industrial touch screen with intuitive icons
• Gas-less/Compressor-less heating and cooling design
• Locking Casters for easy unit placement
• Patented Inventory Management System to decrease wastage

The Boekel Scientific FS100 is a floor-standing platelet incubator/agitation system. The unit has 25 shelves and can hold up to 100 units of platelets. Boekel Scientific pioneered the use of thermoelectric heating and cooling for the storage of platelets and has implemented this technology on the FS100. Thermoelectric heating and cooling are efficient and do not require refrigerant gas or compressors, which can be prone to failure. The system has a 7” industrial color touch screen and an alarm indicator light that can be viewed from across a large room. The large indicator light is illuminated when the unit is powered on and blinks when the unit enters an alarm condition. This indicator light allows for quick identification of a unit that requires attention.

Boekel platelet incubation/agitation systems have an advanced control system with many automated processes including high-low temperature alarm testing, unit temperature calibration, and the patented inventory management system. The inventory management allows for platelet expiration tracking using color-coded icons. This easy-to-use tool was designed to decrease the loss of platelets due to time expiration. These systems also have an integrated thermal printer for printing temperature and event reports. This service-free device replaces the old-style chart recorders that are difficult to read and require monthly maintenance. The control systems also have a USB port for downloading unit data and an ethernet port for connecting the equipment to a network. All systems also have a battery backup system that will log data in the event of a power failure.

The FS100 has smooth rolling, lockable casters making it easy to install and relocatable. If a blood bank uses a secondary temperature monitoring system they can easily attach a probe using the FS100 probe port and mounting hardware.
