Laboratory incubator

 

Incubators are among the laboratory equipment that provides a suitable environment for the growth of all kinds of microorganisms and bacteria by creating uniform heat and controlling temperature and humidity as well as the amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide. These devices are one of the important tools in pharmaceutical laboratories. Medical diagnosis, microbiology, biology, cellular and various industries include food, oil and gas, cosmetics, research centers, and agriculture.

Types of incubators

 

Incubators are divided into three categories: industrial, medical, and laboratory, and in the laboratory environment, there are various types of normal or thermal incubators (temperature range from 30 to 70 degrees), Cooled incubators (average temperature range from -5 to +70), CO2 incubator, baby incubator, and shaker incubators are used.

Thermal incubator

 

FG thermal incubators in two models with a fan (FORCED CONVECTION) and without a fan (GRAVITY CONVECTION) CF and CM series models: CM55E, CM120E, CF240E, and CF400E are designed and manufactured in 55, 120, 240, and 400-liter volumes, which bring you maximum temperature accuracy and the highest level of isothermal inside the chamber.

Application of laboratory incubator

 

These incubators are only used at a temperature higher than the ambient temperature, and if you need a temperature lower than the ambient temperature, you should use cooled incubators. The designers of the E series have tried to meet the needs of a wide range of users along with compliance with international standards. For this purpose, facilities such as the DUAL SAFETY system (safety thermostat), unique technology HCT (uniformity in different parts of the chamber), and an advanced microcontroller are placed in this series of Incubators. The design manager of FG assures you that this series of Incubators is completely competitive with European samples, which you will realize after checking this product.

Laboratory incubators usually have a temperature controller, an air discharge valve (for the release of vapors and gases inside the device) and a timer, which in advanced models such as FG incubators, features such as programming, thermal gradient adjustment (RAMP) and Delay timer (to set the time to turn on the device) is also there.

The temperature accuracy of FG laboratory equipment, including incubators, is known by many things, including the controller’s accuracy, uniformity, and temperature fluctuation, and temperature accuracy alone does not have a correct meaning. According to the DIN 12880 standard, temperature accuracy in laboratory equipment is The degree of uniformity of the device, the amount of temperature fluctuations, and the controller’s accuracy. In FG Incubators, the controller’s accuracy is 0.1 degrees, and for a detailed check of the uniformity value and the temperature fluctuation of the Fan Azmagaster Incubator, refer to the datasheet of the relevant device.

Regarding temperature, laboratory incubators are divided into two general categories: Thermal and Cooled. A Thermal incubator usually works from 5 degrees above the ambient temperature to 70 degrees, While Cooled Incubators cover a wider range. And they are used for temperatures lower than the ambient temperature (usually -5 degrees) to temperatures higher than the ambient temperature (usually 70 degrees).

37 degrees Incubator

 

The temperature of laboratory incubators can usually be adjusted from 5 degrees above the ambient temperature to 70 degrees Celsius. Due to the needs of some consumers for sterile samples, nowadays, some brands consider the temperature of 100 degrees for incubators, which users can According to the requirements of the relevant standards, use your samples at a sterile temperature of 100 degrees (class H). But since most users use the incubator at a temperature of 37 degrees, these devices are also called a 37-degree incubator.

Thermal incubators provide a temperature for microorganisms that grow at 37 degrees and above, such as most pathogenic bacteria.

Laboratory incubators are part of the fixed equipment of laboratories and in various laboratories, including pharmaceutical ، Medical diagnostics, hospitals, universities, and various industries, including the Food industry, oil and gas, mines, and research centers are used.

The external body of the device is made of iron sheet with electrostatic powder paint, and the internal compartment is made of stainless steel, giving a special beauty to this incubator device. By carefully looking at the inner chamber of the incubator and observing different angles, we notice the use of curved corners, which makes it easy to clean and safe for the user. On the other hand, the ultra-advanced device controller with the latest microprocessors stands out. FG incubator controller significantly contributes to temperature control and thermal stability by using smart algorithms. Finally, the unique mechanism of the air discharge valve has been created for the maximum discharge of gases and vapors, and its ease of use has won users’ admiration in this field.

One of the important points in buying a laboratory incubator is uniformity in the inner chamber. Because the lack of uniformity between different points of the chamber can cause a large temperature difference between different points of the incubator and, as a result, disrupt the experiment. In this case, a circulating fan can benefit from better uniformity. Of course, it should be noted that a circulating fan alone cannot cause uniformity. Because various factors such as the fan, the way the element is placed, the way the air circulates, the type of air channel placement, and other things affect uniformity. Calibration capability is also one of the important points that should be considered when purchasing the device. FG incubators can provide calibration certificates according to the customer’s needs.

The incubator and oven are completely different, each designed for separate use in the laboratory. But due to their similar appearance, they are sometimes mistaken and cause problems for consumers. The main difference between an incubator and an oven is their application, temperature range, temperature accuracy, and appearance. For a better review of the difference between these two devices, refer to the article on the difference between an oven and an incubator.

FG has designed HCT technology to create uniformity between different points. While ovens are usually double-walled, by creating a third wall and placing the element in this wall, HCT presents the user with uniformity at 27 points of the chamber. The third wall acts like an air circulation channel and can maintain uniformity even in full load mode. Another advantage of technology HCT is the heating rate and temperature renewal rate after opening and closing the device door.

Frequently Asked Questions(FAQ)

No, the mechanism of the air release valve is the maximum exit of vapors and gases created in the chamber. But the circulator fan is used to accelerate the air circulation inside the chamber.

It always takes time for the internal chamber temperature to reach the set point. The Smart timer is activated when the temperature reaches the set point.

Using a safety thermostat in FG devices that acts like a fuse and turns off the 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.

Yes, with the help of the HCT technology used in the incubator, you will have full uniformity even when the device is fully loaded (in accordance with the loading principles).

The incubator device reaches the set point temperature as quickly as possible and the temperature gradient adjustment is to prolong the time for the chamber temperature to reach the set point temperature, as a result, the time for the chamber temperature to reach the set point temperature cannot be made faster.

Yes, it is possible to install sockets for FG incubators upon request.

Since incubators usually work at 5 degrees above the ambient temperature, this doubt arises for consumers that if the temperature of the laboratory environment is, for example, 20 degrees, a thermal incubator can be used for a temperature of 30 degrees. But since the temperature The environment cannot be controlled. The standards emphasize the use of a refrigerated incubator for temperatures close to the ambient temperature, because the ambient temperature may become hotter, and the incubator device must also be capable of cooling the chamber.

Yes, a special mechanism has been considered for the air evacuation process and the entry of fresh air into the incubator chamber, which causes the maximum evacuation of moisture and gases created in the chamber.

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

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