Frequently asked questions about laboratory incubators

Here you will find answers to technical and application-related questions about our incubators and refrigerated incubators.

What is this device class used for?

Laboratory incubators are primarily used for the cultivation of microorganisms such as bacteria, yeasts, or fungi. They are used in microbiology, medical diagnostics for patient swabs, as well as in biotechnological research and the analysis of soil samples.

Which size is suitable for my needs?

The choice of size depends on the sample volume. Benchtop units from 25 litres are suitable for smaller laboratories or small sample quantities. For industrial applications or extensive test series, floor-standing units with up to 1000 litres of volume are available.

Which temperature ranges are covered?

Standard incubators usually operate in the range above room temperature up to +80 °C. Refrigerated incubators extend this range downwards, enabling applications between -10 °C and +80 °C, while specialised Drosophila models are often adjustable between 0 °C and 70 °C.

What is the difference between an incubator and a refrigerated incubator?

A classic incubator is primarily designed for temperatures above ambient temperature. A refrigerated incubator features an additional cooling system to work stably at lower temperatures, which is necessary for certain microorganisms or storage tests.

Which accessories are useful for insect breeding?

When breeding organisms such as Drosophila, lighting is crucial alongside temperature. Incubators with LED light panels covering a daylight spectrum are useful here to support the circadian rhythm of the animals.

How can I get advice on these devices?

For a specialist selection based on your temperature requirements and the required volume, you can request an individual quote. Professional advice helps to identify the suitable design for your specific laboratory applications.

What should be considered regarding hygiene during operation?

To avoid contamination, incubators should be cleaned regularly. Models with easily removable shelves and smooth interior housings facilitate this process. Precise temperature control also supports the stability of cultures during operation.
