Flexible and Efficient IncubationWith two adjustable shelves and a 28-litre capacity, the incubator accommodates various sample sizes. Natural convection, with optional fan-driven air circulation, ensures uniform conditions for sensitive biological or pharmaceutical applications.
Accurate Control and Simple OperationA digital PID controller with LCD display provides precise temperature monitoring and adjustment, accurate to 1C with a resolution of 0.1C. Manual humidity control suits diverse protocols. An optional timer automates process scheduling for reliable results.
FAQ's of Lab Incubator:
Q: How do I set and maintain the desired temperature inside the lab incubator?
A: The incubator uses a digital PID controller, allowing users to set temperatures ranging from room temperature up to 60C in 1C increments. Its LCD display provides real-time readouts and immediate response, ensuring precise control and monitoring during use.
Q: What safety features protect samples and users during operation?
A: This incubator includes overtemperature protection and a thermostat cut-off. These mechanisms prevent overheating, safeguarding both sensitive samples and users by automatically shutting off the heater if temperatures exceed set limits.
Q: When should I use the adjustable shelves, and how can they be configured?
A: The two included shelves can be repositioned to accommodate varying sample sizes or multiple culture containers. Adjust shelf height before operation to optimize space for your specific incubation needs.
Q: Where is the incubator best suited for installation and use?
A: Designed as a table-top model requiring a standard 230V AC, 50 Hz supply, the incubator is ideal for installation in laboratory environments such as biological, pharmaceutical, or research labs in India or similar settings.
Q: What is the process for controlling humidity within the chamber?
A: Humidity can be managed manually between 40% and 95% RH, or set to ambient conditions as needed. This flexibility supports a variety of incubation and culturing protocols for different research requirements.
Q: How does the see-through acrylic door add benefit during incubation?
A: The acrylic door provides clear visibility of the chamber interior, allowing users to monitor samples without opening the door. This minimizes temperature and humidity fluctuations, ensuring a stable incubation environment.
Q: What are the primary usage and benefits of this lab incubator?
A: The incubator is used primarily for incubation and culturing in biological, pharmaceutical, and research laboratories. Its features-like adjustable shelving, precise temperature control, and safety systems-maximize experiment reliability and user convenience.
