Refrigerated & Cooled Incubators
Labec’s Cooled Incubators include an all-stainless steel fan-forced refrigerated incubator, a high-precision temperature model and two economy refrigerator incubator versions. Our cooling incubators have rounded interior angles for easy cleaning and adjustable/removable shelving. One of our economy models is designed to fit under the bench and has a stainless steel outer finish with an easy-clean white plastic moulded interior.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a refrigerated incubator?
A refrigerated incubator is a laboratory device designed to maintain a controlled, cool environment for the incubation of temperature-sensitive samples. These incubators are equipped with cooling systems to achieve and maintain lower temperatures, making them suitable for a variety of biological and chemical applications.
What is a refrigerated incubator used for?
Refrigerated incubators are used for culturing microorganisms, storing biological samples, and conducting experiments that require a stable, low-temperature environment. They are commonly used in microbiology, pharmaceuticals, and environmental research to ensure that samples remain viable and uncontaminated.
Explore our other types of incubators to meet your laboratory needs: anhydric incubators, CO2 incubators, cycling incubators, water-jacketed incubators, portable incubators and shaking incubators.
What is the difference between a refrigerated incubator and a standard laboratory refrigerator?
The main difference between a refrigerated incubator and a standard laboratory refrigerator is the level of temperature control and uniformity. Refrigerated incubators are designed to maintain precise temperature settings with minimal fluctuations, which is crucial for sensitive experiments. Standard laboratory refrigerators are primarily used for general storage and may not provide the same level of temperature stability.
What are the benefits of a cooling incubator compared to a standard laboratory refrigerator?
Cooling incubators offer several benefits over standard laboratory refrigerators, including precise temperature control, uniform cooling, and the ability to maintain specific temperature ranges required for certain experiments.
