High quality incubators for the laboratory

For what purposes is an incubator suitable?

Microorganisms or cell cultures that you work with in your daily laboratory, life sciences and institute routine often need to be incubated in a controlled atmosphere. Depending on whether you need a refrigerated incubator or a microbiological incubator with humidity inside or a CO2 or gassing inc ubator, different factors are important. In a gassing incubator, for example, values such as the humidity level, carbon dioxide content, and oxygen or nitrogen content also take on special significance. The laboratory incubators from our online store are excellently suited for the following applications, among others:

• for the growth of crystals of different types

• for controlled storage of samples

• for the cultivation of living cell cultures

• for growing and hatching eggs in biology or zoology

• for the propagation of microorganisms or germ colonies

Types of incubators for the laboratory

Incubators for laboratories with possible temperature conditions from 50 to 110 degrees Celsius are very suitable for the cultivation of microorganisms, animal or bacterial cultures, as well as for different incubation and development processes. Most Incubators in this category are also excellent for observing the behavior of cells and their growth. In medicine, incubators are mainly used for the care of premature babies. Inside the device, there are optimal, constant humidity conditions and thus a constant climate, so that the development of infants is supported in the best possible way some of them also work with hot air inside. The branded incubators that we offer in our laboratory equipment range are of elementary importance in biological research. We have the following types ready for our customers in our excellently assorted portfolio:

Cooling incubator

Cooling incubators are typically used for the development and observation of bacterial or eukaryotic cells . Temperature as well as oxygen and CO2 content can be controlled as needed in cooling incubators. Depending on the performance and function portfolio, the acquisition costs for a cooling incubator are as follows cooling incubator from our store is around 5,000 to 12,000 euros. Please do not hesitate to contact us and let us show you the individual details of your desired product.

CO2 incubator

A CO2 incubator at a price of around 9,000 euros is predestined for the examination and cultivation of animal cells. Thanks to the constantly regulated CO2 supply, a balanced pH value is guaranteed at all times. CO2 incubators in this product category are also perfectly suited for observing a wide range of incubation and development processes, as well as for studying cells and their growth, because excellent humidity and temperature conditions can be implemented in them.

Shaking incubator

A shaking incubator is equipped with a vibrating bottom plate. This prevents, for example, the formation of a so-called creamy skin with bacteria. Shaking incubators are also used to establish animal or insect cultures in biology, pharmacy, medicine, chemistry and the food industry. They cost around 4,000 to 8,000 euros to purchase and impress, among other things, with their compact design and reliable operation.

How does an incubator for the laboratory work?

With regard to the cooling or heating of cell cultures, a primary distinction is made between water jacket and air jacket incubators. We would be pleased to show you the advantages of both variants.

Water jacket incubators

Although water jacket incubators have a comparatively high dead weight, they are characterized by their better temperature stability. In addition, when using models of this product category, you have significantly lower temperature fluctuations when opening the door. But the most important thing is that even in the event of a possible power failure, these will maintain temperatures longer than usual. Therefore, you benefit from an added level of reliability and safety.

Air jacket incubators

Air jacket incubators are lighter compared to water jacket incubators, making them easier to transport from point A to point B. Longer openings ensure faster temperature recovery. In addition, even higher disinfection and sterilization temperatures are possible without hesitation. The faster measurements and improved controls also speak for the use of an air jacket incubator.

Buy the right incubator / incubator for the laboratory

With the expert help of MedSolut professionals, you will easily find the right incubator for the laboratory. We recommend that you consider the following important criteria when making your selection:

Temperature

When choosing your device, make sure that not only the temperatures can be adjusted according to your needs, but that the temperature level inside the incubators remain constant permanently.

CO2 content

For optimal results with regard to the development and observation of cells or cultures, it must be possible to precisely preset the CO2 content. Also, the constant maintenance of the carbon dioxide level must be ensured.

Humidification

Cultures of different types must each have a specific humidity level. Therefore, the incubators for laboratories and life sciences should be designed to ensure humidification of the cells or cultures as required.

Doors

On the one hand, the doors of the laboratory incubators should close tightly and be leak-proof. On the other hand, it is important that no strong vibrations occur when opening the doors. In addition, care should be taken to ensure that the temperature drop is gentle during this process.

Decontamination

High-quality incubators can be easily decontaminated after use with suitable tools. Among other things, both the design and the structure of the interior play a role here. Please contact us, we will be pleased to advise you.

Surfaces

Incubators should ideally be easy to clean or easy to maintain. To ensure this, models with particularly smooth surfaces are highly recommended.

Vibration

The conception of the included shaking plate shines through a high stability and a constant vibration. An aspect that is fundamental in the development and observation of insect and bacterial cultures.

O2 regulation

If a simple and demand-oriented regulation of the oxygen content inside the incubator is guaranteed, this will affect the qualitative value of your results. The distribution of oxygen inside should also be regular and continuous.

The right accessories for your incubators

Not only the function, but also the suitable accessories determine the optimal usability of the incubators for your laboratory requirements. Therefore, it is good to know which additional services are available for you to choose from when you buy an incubator. The following products are available for incubators:

Incubator Hood

Whether you need a small, tall or extra-large incubation hood for your incubator in the lab: At MedSolut you will find the right size. For example, the incubation hood T15 with 310 mm height for culture fl asks and Erlenmeyer flasks up to 1000 ml. If you need a little more volume for your incubators, the incubation hood T30 (430 mm height) is more suitable. Here you can also accommodate taller vessels such as 2,000 ml Erlenmeyer flasks.

Mini incubators

For small laboratories or facilities where the location of the incubator has to be changed frequently, the transportable model is idealThe portable model is ideal for small laboratories or facilities where the incubator location needs to be changed frequently, as it allows the flexibility required for daily use in some laboratories.

Temperature limitation

To ensure truly optimal research procedures, a constant temperature must be generated and controlled. A temperature limiter ensures that the incubator switches off automatically if the set point is exceeded. This maintains the optimum temperature even in the event of a technical malfunction, ensuring that no research process is interrupted.

Heating module

Research processes with incubators depend on optimal heating times and heat distribution. A heating module ensures the fastest heating up to 65 °C and thus also supports research with thermophilic organisms. The integrated overheating protection additionally protects against damage caused by exceeding the maximum temperatures.

CO2 changer

With an internal CO2 bottle changer, up to two gas bottles can be connected to your incubators. This means that you always have an eye on the CO2 supply and also receive an alarm message when a change is required. Variants with an external connection are also available as an option, allowing you to connect the gas cylinders to an additional device.
