Ascott: new ultra compact corrosion test chambers
Ascott has introduced a new generation of compact front-loading chambers for salt spray and cyclic corrosion testing, in 300 and 400 litre capacities.
Read moreJULABO has introduced the VALEGRO 250, a compact entry-level recirculating chiller that replaces the F250.

JULABO is expanding its VALEGRO family with the new compact recirculating cooler VALEGRO 250. The model sits in the entry-level price range and replaces the popular F250 from the F series. It has been available since 11 August 2026.
The manufacturer stresses that the price is almost identical while the feature set is larger:
- an inclined OLED touch display with clear menu navigation, a timer and a level indicator,
- a significantly lower sound pressure level, so the unit runs very quietly,
- a natural refrigerant with a very low global warming potential (GWP),
- a comparatively wide working temperature range.
- working temperature range from −15 to +40 °C,
- adjustable pump,
- standard integrated USB and RS232 interfaces,
- OLED display, inclined for better readability.
The manufacturer does not state cooling capacity, bath volume, pump flow or pressure in the announcement; you will find these on the product page or we will include them in a quotation.
VALEGRO 250 is designed for temperature control of small reaction vessels, measuring cells, laboratory lasers and compact analytical instruments. With simple operation, quiet running and interfaces for connecting to a computer, it is well suited to everyday routine laboratory work.
A natural refrigerant with a very low GWP matters for laboratories aiming for a smaller environmental footprint and watching future refrigerant regulations. The announcement does not name the exact refrigerant.
