What is the purpose of a laboratory incubator, and where should they be used?
The purpose of a laboratory incubator is to provide a controlled environment for culturing micro-organisms or other processes which require precise control of environmental factors. This can include temperature, humidity and in some cases gas levels.
Incubators are an essential part of the laboratory for the culture of micro-organisms, quality testing in pharmaceutical or cosmetic industries and testing in food and veterinary manufacturing.
MSC offer a range of high-quality incubators to suit your needs. The new high-tech systems for incubation from MMM below can assist you in determining what is appropriate for your incubator requirements.
Incucell Incubator
MMM INCUCELL® line incubators are ideal for the safe processing of microbiology cultures. These incubators have gentle slow airflow and noiseless operation, making them an ideal companion in the lab. A version with a fan, INCUCELL® V is also available which guarantees faster and more precise temperature distribution.
INCUCELL® are available in a range of sizes from 22 to 1212 litres and with temperature ranges from 5°C above ambient to 100°C. Each model has an inner glass door and an internal chamber made from AISI 304 stainless steel.
MMM INCUCELL® patented “fuzzy logic” technology ensures the highest level of heat control and the most cost-effective incubators on the market. The patented spiral air conduction allows for highly regulated temperature control within the chamber.
The INCUCELL® line with chamber volumes of 22, 55, 111, 222, 404, 707 and 1212 litres, has working temperatures from 5°C above ambient temperature up to 100°C.
The precise temperature control is suitable for high-quality and safe processing of microbiological cultures in Pharmaceutical, food and industrial labs.
Incucell V Incubator
The INCUCELL® V line (version with fan) guarantees faster and more precise temperature distribution with small variations.
| Working temperature range | 5°C above ambient to 100°C |
