Anhydric Incubators

Labec offers two versions of anhydric incubator – fan-forced and non-fan-forced. The anhydrous (“free from water”) operation of the incubator is designed for samples or cultures that must be kept dry and at a constant temperature. Each unit comes with an internal glass door for excellent temperature uniformity and a magnetic, self-closing exterior door.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an anhydric incubator?

An anhydric incubator is a type of laboratory equipment designed to provide a controlled, dry environment for the incubation of samples. Unlike traditional incubators that maintain humidity levels, anhydric incubators are specifically designed to eliminate moisture, making them ideal for applications that require a dry atmosphere.

How does an anhydric incubator work?

Anhydric incubators work by using desiccants or other drying mechanisms to remove moisture from the air inside the chamber, maintaining a stable temperature while ensuring the internal environment remains dry. 

What are the advantages of using an anhydric incubator?

The primary advantage of using an anhydric incubator is the ability to create a dry environment, which is essential for certain types of biological and chemical experiments. Additionally, anhydric incubators provide precise temperature control, ensuring consistent and reliable results.

What are the different types of anhydrous incubators available?

Anhydrous incubators come in various sizes and configurations to meet different laboratory needs. They can range from small benchtop models to larger, floor-standing units. Some models may include advanced features such as programmable temperature settings, data logging capabilities, and alarms for deviations from set parameters.
