CO2 Incubators
CO2 incubators are uniquely designed to control the enclosed environment for biological and cell cultures. Use one of these incubators to precisely control the temperature, humidity and carbon dioxide levels to create optimal conditions for cell growth. It's essential that the atmosphere's pH remains neutral for optimal culturing, making CO2 levels important.
These incubators are most commonly used in microbiology and life science applications where cell cultures are an essential aspect of the workflow.
BOD Incubators
Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) incubators are used to measure how much oxygen microorganisms consume in water and wastewater samples. This value then tells wastewater treatment operations how polluted the water is and what level of treatment is required to improve it.
The BOD incubator creates the ideal conditions for microorganisms to grow and consume oxygen through temperature controls and a dark, sealed enclosure that keeps light and air out. Beyond wastewater treatment, BOD incubators can be used for environmental and industrial monitoring and research purposes.
Refrigerated Incubators
Our selection of refrigerated incubators offers precision temperature controls for applications that require lower temperatures, like enzyme studies and microbiology. These incubators can use various convection methods to maintain stable temperatures, though forced air circulation is one of the most common types. More specific uses of these incubators include:
- Hematological testing
- Coliform determinations
- Tissue culturing
- Shelf-life testing
- Curing
- Enzyme digestion studies
Climate Chambers
With these environmental test chambers, users can control climate factors like humidity and temperature to understand how different products and materials react to changes in these areas. Many industries need to test climate performance to ensure the safety and validity of materials used and product designs. Sectors include:
- Consumer products
- Pharmaceuticals
- Medical devices
- Electronics
- Automotive
- Semiconductors
Plant Growth Chambers
These environmental chambers are uniquely designed for botanical research and plant cultivation. Plant growth chambers can help geneticists create more resilient food crops and show pathologists what is necessary to fight plights among certain plants.
Controlling factors like light, humidity and temperature can help agricultural scientists create different crop growth scenarios, helping them understand performance during expected weather patterns. With more precise growth predictability, agriculture operations can effectively prepare for climate changes to improve growth outcomes.
