Advanced Temperature ControlThis incubator employs a microprocessor-based PID controller with a digital LED display, providing temperature settings from 5C to 60C with an accuracy of 0.5C. The forced air circulation and high-grade insulation ensure uniform heating or cooling throughout the chamber, critical for rigorous laboratory applications like BOD determination and culture incubation.
Superior Construction & Safety FeaturesDesigned for durability, the inner chamber uses corrosion-resistant SS 304 steel, with a double-walled construction and polyurethane foam (PUF) insulation. The magnetic-gasketed door with a double-glass observation window provides maximum safety and visibility. Automatic over-temperature protection safeguards sensitive samples and experiments.
Versatile and Energy-Efficient DesignAccommodating various laboratory needs, the incubator's shelves are adjustable and perforated for optimal airflow. The CFC-free refrigeration system, programmable timer, and accessory ports allow flexibility for multiple study requirements, all while maintaining energy-efficient operation. Model variants cater to different laboratory sizes and workloads.
FAQ's of B.O.D.Incubators:
Q: How does the B.O.D. Incubator ensure uniform temperature distribution inside the chamber?
A: The incubator utilizes a forced air circulation system that evenly distributes air throughout the chamber, ensuring temperature uniformity within 1C across all shelves.
Q: What benefits does the Stainless Steel 304 inner chamber offer?
A: Stainless Steel 304 is highly resistant to corrosion and easy to clean, ensuring a hygienic environment suitable for sensitive biological and chemical studies while extending the unit's lifespan.
Q: When should I use the optional humidity control feature?
A: The optional humidity control is beneficial for experiments or storage conditions requiring regulated humidity, such as plant studies or certain culture applications, to optimize sample growth and preservation.
Q: Where can accessory ports be utilized in the incubator?
A: The provided accessory ports facilitate the insertion of probes or additional sensors for real-time monitoring of internal conditions without disturbing the incubator's main environment.
Q: What safety features does the B.O.D. Incubator offer?
A: Safety is prioritized with automatic over-temperature protection and a double-walled door with magnetic gasket to prevent heat loss, thereby protecting both samples and users.
Q: How is temperature monitored and adjusted during operation?
A: Temperature is managed through a microprocessor-based PID controller with a user-friendly LED digital display, allowing precise setting, monitoring, and programmable cycling, as required.
Q: What is the process for adjusting shelves in the incubator?
A: The incubator comes with two or three adjustable perforated shelves, allowing users to modify shelf height to accommodate different sample sizes, ensuring maximum flexibility for diverse laboratory tasks.
