What is a Cooled Incubator?

A cooled incubator is a laboratory device designed to maintain and grow microorganisms, cells, or samples under controlled temperature and environmental conditions. It allows precise control over temperature and humidity, making it ideal for applications requiring lower-than-room temperatures to prevent sample degradation or unwanted changes. Commonly used in research labs, biotechnology, medicine, and scientific industries, it provides a stable environment for growing and preserving biological entities.

Features and Applications

  • Key Features:
    • Temperature and humidity control.
    • 3-layered chamber design for better temperature uniformity.
    • High precision in temperature adjustment.
    • Independent safety thermostat.
    • Advanced controllers for stability in cooling modes.
  • Applications:
    1. Culturing and preserving cells, bacteria, and viruses.
    2. Conducting molecular experiments like PCR.
    3. Storing critical samples such as tissues and cell cultures.
    4. Industrial use in pharmaceutical, food, and research laboratories.

Types of Cooled Incubators

  1. Peltier-Controlled Cooled Incubators: Use advanced cooling systems for precise temperature control.
  2. Compressor-Based Incubators: Employ compressors for lower temperature ranges and extended cooling periods.
  3. General Laboratory Incubators:
    • Thermal Incubators: Operate within +30°C to +70°C.
    • Cooled Incubators: Maintain a range of -5°C to +70°C.
    • CO2 Incubators: Ideal for cell culture.
    • Shaking Incubators: Combine incubation with sample agitation.

Safety and Maintenance Tips

  • Avoid inserting sharp objects into device vents.
  • Turn off the device when not in use for extended periods.
  • Clean using a damp cloth; avoid corrosive chemicals.
  • Ensure proper grounding to prevent electrical hazards.
  • Use only compatible items; avoid placing flammable or reactive materials inside.
  • Handle temperature-sensitive electronic components carefully

Buying Guide

When purchasing a cooled incubator:

  • Prioritize temperature uniformity and calibration capabilities.
  • Look for advanced features like ramp programming and smart timers.
  • Evaluate the build quality, chamber size, and compliance with international standards.

Frequently Asked Questions(FAQ)

It always takes time for the internal chamber temperature to reach the set point. The smart timer will show you the calculated time will be activated when the temperature of the device reaches the set point.

Yes, using a safety and adjustable thermostat in FG devices that acts like a fuse and turns off the refrigerated incubator device if the temperature rises above the set point.

According to FG standards and valid world standards, the best distance from the walls, floor, and ceiling of the incubator is 10% of the length of the same side. And if the depth of the device is 50 cm, 10% of it, that is, 5 cm from the front and back, should be considered the distance from the walls of the device for loading.

Using a safety thermostat in FG devices that works like a fuse and turns off the oven device if the temperature rises above the set point.

Yes, it is possible to create a vent or install a socket for FG incubators upon request.

Yes, you can move the trays if needed and according to the different drawers installed in the cooled incubator.

If you need to make maximum use of the internal space of the device, you can use more trays in the incubator. You can use more space just by buying a tray, and there is no need to pay extra for installing rails or other changes in the device.
