Incubator Device

Incubators are widely used not only in biological and chemical research but also in various industries:

• Microbiology: Multiplication of bacteria, yeast, mold, and other microorganisms
• Cell Culture: Growth of mammalian, plant, or animal cells
• Food and Water Analysis: Testing for microorganisms such as coliform and E. coli
• Medical and Veterinary: Clinical tests, incubation of blood and urine cultures
• Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic Industry: Stability tests, product development processes
• Molecular Biology: Performing enzymatic reactions under controlled temperature

Incubator devices are equipped with various technical features depending on their application areas:

Temperature Range:
• Standard models: From +5 °C above ambient temperature up to +60 °C
• Refrigerated models: Between +5 °C and +70 °C
• CO₂ incubators: Between +5 °C and +50 °C, with 0–20% CO₂ control

Temperature Control:
• Digital PID temperature control unit
• Stable temperature with ±0.5 °C accuracy
• Temperature uniformity: ±1 °C (depending on device volume)

Volume Options:
• 30 L, 60 L, 120 L, 240 L and custom sizes
• Horizontal or vertical loading designs

Air Circulation:
• Natural convection: Quiet and vibration-free operation
• Forced convection: Fan-assisted homogeneous temperature distribution

Humidity and CO₂ Control (optional):
• Humidification chamber to increase ambient humidity
• CO₂ controlled models preferred for cell culture work

Timer:
• Programmable operating time
• Automatic shut-off or alarm at the end of the cycle
