Laboratory incubators

Laboratory incubators are devices used for incubating samples. They offer the possibility of constant heating and, in the case of some models, also a little cooling. The most common temperatures they produce are in the range of +5 to +100 °C. They have a microprocessor-based control system, thanks to which temperatures are constant and very precise.

Laboratory incubators – application

Laboratory incubators are used to carry out thermostatic processes of samples. Their operation is based on maintaining a constant temperature for a long time at the level selected by the laboratory technician. They are used in microbiology, biology, medicine, cosmetology, food industry, chemical industry, or pharmacy, for example, to test the stability and shelf life of pharmaceuticals. They make it possible to perform analyses on the thermal resistance of materials placed in them. They are also used in the incubation of samples for microbiological marking. In most cases, though, laboratory incubators are used for tests performed on bacteria or other microorganisms.
