1. Basic Cognition: Understanding the Labonce Ecosystem

Labonce specializes in high-precision environmental test equipment designed for scientific research, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical industries. Unlike generic laboratory equipment, Labonce products are engineered specifically to meet stringent regulatory standards, including ICH Q1A/Q1B, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, and the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2020/2025 editions).

The product ecosystem is divided into four primary pillars:

1. Stability Testing Chambers: The flagship line designed for drug stability testing (GS/FS series), photostability (CGS/TPS series), and specialized low-humidity storage (LGS series).
2. Incubators: Precision equipment for biological culture, including Biochemical (BI series), Mold (MI/MIS series), and Water-jacket/Electric incubators (GHP/DHP).
3. Drying Ovens: Solutions for drying and heating, featuring Vacuum (VC/ZK series) and Blast Drying (JM series) technologies.
4. Environmental Chambers: Heavy-duty chambers for high/low temperature and alternating humidity tests (GW/JS/TH series).

2. Selection Guide: Matching Equipment to Industry Needs

Choosing the right Labonce model depends on your specific regulatory requirements and test materials.

For Pharmaceutical Stability (GMP/CGMP Labs)

1. General Drug Stability: Choose the GS/FS Series. These models feature three-level user authority and audit tracking, essential for GMP certification.
2. Light-Sensitive Drugs: Select the CGS or TPS Series. These comply with ICH Q1B, integrating visible light and Near-UV sources with automatic illuminance control.
3. Moisture-Sensitive Packaging (Cartridges): The LGS Series is required. It offers ultra-low humidity control (e.g., 60℃/10%RH or 25℃/20%RH), specifically designed for medicine packages and semi-permeable containers.

For Microbiology & Water Analysis

1. BOD Detection & Water Analysis: The BI Series (Biochemical Incubator) is the standard, offering precise temperature control (High temp ±0.5℃).
2. Mold & Fungi Cultivation: The MI/MIS Series is optimized for this, with the MIS series offering added humidity control (fluctuation ±5%RH) for complex growth environments.

For Material Drying & Aging

• Heat-Sensitive/Oxidizable Materials: Use the VC/ZK Vacuum Ovens. They allow for inert gas infusion and rapid drying without oxidation.

3. Function Details: The Technology Behind the Precision

Labonce products are defined by three core technological advantages:

A. Data Integrity & Compliance System

To meet FDA 21 CFR Part 11 requirements, Labonce controllers feature:

• Three-Level Authority: Login security that distinguishes between operators, admins, and quality assurance.
• Audit Tracking: Historical alarm and operation records are stored and can be exported via USB in an unchangeable file format, ensuring data cannot be tampered with.

B. Precision Air-Way Structural Design

Labonce utilizes a newly designed air-way system that ensures airflow from three sides. This results in superior uniformity:

• Temperature Uniformity: Typically ≤1.0℃ or ≤2.0℃ depending on the model.
• Humidity Fluctuation: Controlled within < ±3%RH for stability chambers.

C. Advanced Refrigeration & Insulation

• Frequency Conversion: Imported compressors with frequency conversion technology save over 50% of electricity and water, extending equipment life.
• Insulation: High-density polyurethane foam ensures temperature retention and isolation from external heat sources.

4. Implementation & Usage: Best Practices

• Installation: Ensure the environment temperature remains between +5 ~ 35℃ for optimal compressor performance.
• Data Management: Regularly export data using the USB interface. For the JS series, SD card storage can hold over 5 years of data.
• Safety Checks: Regularly test the independent over-temperature protection system and water shortage alarms. The system is designed to prevent dry burning and compressor overheating.
• Cleaning: The inner liners are made of mirror stainless steel 304 (or copper/stainless for specific incubators), designed to be pollution-free and easy to clean to prevent cross-contamination.
