Water-Jacketed Incubators

The unique design of water jacket incubators uses heated water to create a uniform temperature throughout the chamber, even with frequent door openings. If you’re looking for the best possible temperature control for your cell culture experiments, our water jacket incubators are the perfect choice.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is a water-jacketed incubator?

A water-jacketed incubator is a specialised laboratory device that maintains a constant internal temperature using a water-filled chamber surrounding the incubation space. This design provides superior temperature stability and uniformity compared to air-jacketed models.

Explore our other types of incubators to meet your laboratory needs: anhydric incubators, refrigerated/cooled incubators, CO2 incubators, cycling incubators, portable incubators and shaking incubators.

What are the benefits of using a water-jacketed incubator?

Benefits of water jacketed incubators include excellent temperature control, reduced temperature fluctuations during door openings, and protection against power outages due to the thermal mass of water. They’re ideal for sensitive applications like cell culture and microbiology.

How do you drain a water-jacketed incubator?

To drain a water jacketed incubator, first turn off and unplug the unit. Locate the drain valve, typically at the bottom or rear of the incubator. Attach a hose to the valve and direct it to a suitable drain. Open the valve slowly to release the water, ensuring proper disposal according to local regulations.
