Laboratory incubators provide a controlled, contaminant-free environment for safe, reliable incubation of cultures and other biological samples. They are indispensable in research, clinical, and industrial settings for a variety of applications, including cell culture, microbiology, and molecular biology.
Refrigerated incubators stand out for their ability to control temperatures both above and below ambient levels. This dual functionality makes them especially valuable for tasks that require lowering the temperature of samples to specific levels, such as bacterial and yeast culture growth, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) testing, and other applications in biology and pharmaceuticals.
These units are engineered to maintain a steady temperature range from +5°C to +45°C, ensuring the preciseness of experimental conditions.
Equipped with both heating elements and refrigeration systems, refrigerated incubators can precisely regulate a broad spectrum of temperatures.
For businesses that require stringent temperature control, a refrigerated incubator offers the flexibility and precision needed for a wide array of scientific activities.

Shaker refrigerated incubators provide a consistent temperature of +22°C, ideal for specific applications that require constant agitation at a controlled temperature.
This type of incubator is perfect for businesses that engage in pharmaceutical testing, cell culture, and other research requiring both temperature control and continuous movement to ensure the homogeneity of samples.

Non-refrigerated incubators are designed for applications that require a warm environment but do not need to lower the temperature below ambient conditions. With a temperature range from ambient +5°C to +60°C, these incubators are well-suited for incubating cell and microbial cultures, as well as general laboratory processes requiring a controlled warm environment.
Our bench-top non-refrigerated incubators feature a digital microprocessor controller for precise temperature management and offer the flexibility to switch between fan-forced and natural convection.
This adaptability ensures that you can create the ideal conditions for your specific needs.
Additionally, certain models come with an internal clear polycarbonate door, allowing for sample observation without temperature disruption.

Choosing the right incubator for your business involves considering several factors. First, assess the specific applications and processes your laboratory performs. If your work requires lowering sample temperatures, a refrigerated incubator would be most beneficial. A shaker refrigerated incubator is ideal for activities demanding constant agitation at a controlled temperature.
Consider the space available in your laboratory. Bench-top models are perfect for smaller spaces, while upright models may offer more capacity for laboratories with greater storage needs. The internal volume and the ability to observe samples without disruption may also influence your choice.
Finally, consider the long-term reliability and support offered by the manufacturer. A warranty not only provides assurance of quality but also guarantees support should any issues arise.
