Laboratory Incubators

Incubators for Any Application

Incubators are essential tools in labs across the world, providing controlled environments for the growth and cultivation of microorganisms & cells. The precise conditions within an incubator, such as temperature, humidity, and gas composition, can be carefully controlled to support cellular growth and behavior. Our incubators are suited for a wide number of uses in laboratory settings.

• Pharmaceutical Incubators: Pharmaceutical companies use incubators to evaluate the stability and shelf life of drug products. By introducing samples to controlled temperature and humidity conditions in incubators, companies can assess how products may degrade over time.

• Microbiology Incubators: Microbiology incubators are indispensable for cultivating and studying microorganisms, including bacteria, yeast, and fungi. The incubators provide the necessary warmth and aseptic conditions to support microbial growth and experimentation.

• Tissue Culture Incubators: Incubators are widely used in cell culture work, where cells and tissues are grown and maintained in controlled conditions. The incubators create a stable environment with controlled temperature, humidity, and CO2 levels, ensuring optimal tissue growth and viability.

• Accelerated Aging Incubators: Accelerated aging incubators are used in various industries to simulate the effects of time and environmental conditions on materials and products in a shorter time frame.

• Germ Count Determination Incubators: Germ count determination incubators are specifically designed for assessing microbial contamination and determining the number of viable microorganisms present in a sample. These incubators create controlled conditions to support the growth of microorganisms, allowing researchers to perform colony counting and microbial enumeration.

• Storage Incubators: Sample storage incubators are designed to maintain a stable and controlled environment for the long-term storage of various samples such as biological specimens, tissues, cells, chemicals and reagents. Storage incubators ensure sample integrity, viability and stability over extended periods of time.

 

Digital Incubators with Programmable Cycles

Using AtmoCONTROL, cycles can be programmed within a matter of minutes on our digital incubators. The heating system of the incubators can be programmed according to energy efficiency, heating up times, quiet running, or low vibration. With the internal data logger there is a storage capacity of at least 10 years. This creates easy access to all data logs within the 10-year range, which can be viewed online or saved in various report formats to meet your needs.

 

What to Consider When Purchasing an Incubator

• What temperature range do I need for an incubator?
  • For most cell culture applications, a temperature range of approximately 37°C (98.6°F) is required. This is the normal body temperature of humans and many other mammals, and it is often the optimal temperature for the growth and proliferation of cells in culture. However, some cell types may require different temperatures, and it is important to carefully consider the specific requirements of the cells or tissues being incubated.
• How do incubators maintain a constant temperature? 
  • Incubators use heating elements and insulation to maintain a constant temperature within the incubation chamber. 
• What are the advantages of Peltier cooling?
  • Peltier cooling systems offer several advantages due to their lack of moving parts. Peltier systems are generally more reliable and require less maintenance than systems with moving parts. They are also energy efficient and produce minimal noise and vibrations. As a result, Peltier cooling systems can be a good choice for applications where reliability, energy efficiency and low noise and vibration levels are important.
