Your Own Climate.

PROJECTS

Since 1985 we have become partners of companies and researchers from 4 continents. Together, we grew in 3 fields of expertise:

Biotechnology and Biological ResearchTissue culture, arabidopsis research, plant growth, seeds dehydration and germination and entomology.

ICH Stability TestsPharmaceutical products, cosmetics and food products.

Environmental TestingThermal, climatic, metrology, solar modules, vibration, freeze/thaw, radiation, water and dust protection, cure of ciment and mortars and many special chambers.

CHOICES

User centeredWe constantly look at the present and future needs of our customers all around the world. Customer projects are a determinant source of innovation and specialized knowledge. Continuous improvement and customer guidance are our main quality guidelines.

R&DThe research for new climatic control technologies and the integration of highly specialized human resources allows us to ensure the development of new products and solutions. In Aralab’s Lab we develop monitoring and software tools that you only find in an Aralab chamber. Our ClimaPlus controllers and our FitoLog software allow real time monitoring, giving our technicians the necessary data to remotely carry out a fast and efficient diagnostic.

QualityOur reputation has been built upon our ability to supply high quality products, incorporate innovative design concepts and is backed-up by a comprehensive after sales support service. Obtaining the ISO 9001:2000 certification was a recognition of our performance and dedication.

SustainabilitySustainability is a matter of long term vision and intelligence. Aralab is fully committed to contribute to a smarter world. Our waste practices are environment friendly (separation, recycling and safe destruction of non-recyclable).

What drives us is simple: to develop climatic solutions

that go beyond your success expectations.

TeamR&D, management and production teams in Portugal, technical and commercial teams in 16 countries and 4 continents. But this is just a part of the team. The other part, just as important and decisive as the other, is the customer.

All customers, with their projects, challenges and knowledge are our drive for innovation and improvement. In the next pages only a small list of names can fit. But in Aralab they all fit.

Only your name is missing.

ENVIRONMENTAL TESTING

WillIn 1978, a 16 year old boy spent his summer holidays at his parents garden obsessed with creating a machine for hatching eggs with better performance than their own chickens. When the chicks were born healthy he went to his father and said "Dad, I'm going to be the inventor of the world's best machines". The little boy was João Araújo and 7 years later he founded Aralab.

In 2008, João and Eduardo invited their brother Alberto to lead the Sales department. The 3 brothers are together and the company they founded and named (Araújo + Lab) is no longer the small family business. It has projects in 16 countries and distributors in 4 continents and the desire to keep growing.The will is the same as before. To build the best chambers in the world.

“In Aralab we soon realized that our competitive advantage requires much more than the reliability of advanced machinery and fast servicing. It requires people with empathy and diverse backgrounds, and the ability to grow in co-creation with our customers.The greatest reward is growing together.”João Araújo, CEO

"Any equipment and brand has failures. A week of breakdown in my field means losing 8 months of work. Aralab shows up on the same day or the following and solves the problem, even if it means improvising a solution with any available tools at hand. They can do it!"

José Ramalhooffee Rusts Researcher (II T)

"I've been using Aralab stability chambers for 20 years now. Previous brand? I can remember the breakdown, but can not remember the name. Aralab technical team went to my lab and fixed it even though it was not their chamber. That is how I met them"

CLIMAPLUS CONTROLLERS

All Aralab chambers are equipped with a ClimaPlus controller. This equipment is specially created by Aralab and uses dual microprocessor technology for controlling, monitoring and registering all operating data.

MONITORING AND VISUALIZATION SOFTWARE

The FitoLog software is a set of applications designed to monitor and register data from the chambers processes variables for the pharmaceutical industry. This software - an Aralab exclusive solution - consists of 3 applications: FitoLog, FitoView and FitoProgram.

FitoLog: Displays and records in real time all data and details of the measures and respective set-points in a file, with a pre-determined time interval. It also acquires the data of process variables, errors, alarms and allows external alerts configurations which may include Email or SMS to report the condition of the equipment or warning of alarm conditions.

FitoView: It is a working tool to process the data acquired by FitoLog. You can view, print and export to other file types, and analyze the data in other programs (Excel, Access or others).

FitoProgram: This application allows the designing of test programs and its integration on the chamber controller.

Programmable PLC ClimaPlus

Possibility of programming a delay of the beginning of test

Automatic restart of tests due to power failure, without losing data and restarting test where it was interrupted

Different outputs for connecting computers and other devices

Graphical visualization of the test in the controller

Password protection of controller functions.

“Some customers choose our chambers because they had problems with the previous equipment they were using. When they start using our chambers they say "this is so much better than we thought”.”
