Refrigerated incubators and cooled incubators are designed to maintain a constant temperature based on cooling requirements for research. Typical temperature settings range from -50°C to 65°C based upon varying convection types, though forced air circulation is most commonly used. Refrigerated incubators and cooled incubators are suitable for a variety of applications including microbiological sample testing and bacteria research, curing, hermatological testing, enzyme digestion studies, coliform determinations, crystallization studies, tissue culturing, histochemical procedures, dry and staining procedures, shelf-life testing, and water pollution testing.
There are two main types of cooled incubation, Peltier-cooled and Compressor-cooled systems. Peltier systems require more energy input and generally slower when compared to compressor systems. However, Peltier-cooled systems are generally quieter, more economical to produce, and are less complex in design.

Features:
- Passive Contamination Control with InCu-
The ideal CO2 incubator for research and clinical microbiology, offering a high performance solution for mainstream cell culture applications in the research and clinical environment where precise contamination and temperature control is critical.
Features:
- Passive Contamination Control with InCu-saFe® -
Designed with standard, passive contamination control throughout the chamber interior. The inCu-saFe surface combines the germicidal properties of elemental copper with the corrosion and discoloration resistance of stainless steel. -
SafeCell™ UV Protection -
The SafeCell UV lamp provides an added layer of contamination control. It eliminates contaminants introduced during door openings as they pass over the humidity reservoir surface without affecting the cell cultures. -
Integrated Microprocessor Control -
Control and monitoring are offered through a fully integrated microprocessor controller with independent organic LED displays for CO2 and temperature. The softkey button menu enables intuitive programming. Alarm notifications warn when functions deviate from setpoints. A USB data port permits download of logged performance and event information. -
CO2 Control -
The automatic CO2 control system delivers precise, reliable and repeatable CO2 control over a setpoint range of 0% to 20% and includes a CO2 sample port integrated into the inner glass door.
-
Shelf Channel System -
This stackable incubator offers a removable shelf channel system which allows for easy cleaning, eliminating the need for troublesome shelf brackets and clips. Perforated shelves promote natural temperature and gas uniformity. -
Condensation Elimination -
The innovative Peltier powered dew stick located in the interior chamber draws condensation away from the inner door, outer door and inside inCu-saFe copper enriched stainless steel surfaces. The dew stick returns moisture to the humidity reservoir and arrests contamination before it can destroy cell cultures.
