In biology, an Incubator is a device used to grow and maintain microbiological cultures or cell cultures. The incubator maintains optimal temperature, humidity and other conditions such as the carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxygen content of the atmosphere inside. Incubators are essential for a lot of experimental work in cell biology, microbiology and molecular biology and are used to culture both bacterial as well as Eukaryotic cells.
A BOD incubator is an incubator designed to maintain 20 °C necessary to perform a test called Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD). It involves incubating samples saturated with oxygen at 20 °C for (usually) five days. Such an incubator has a compressor to depress the temperature below ambient and a heater to bring it back up to 20 °C. These work against each other and produce very precise temperature control, often as close as +/-0.1 °C.
Double walled in construction with inner made of 316L mirror finish & exterior made of 304 S.S matt finish
High grade wool/PUFF insulation between the wall to minimize the heat exchange
Choice to select solid state DIGITAL temp. Controller or microprocessor based PID temp. Controller with centronic port for printer output or without centronic port
Air circulation being performed by motorized blower firmly install at the bottom of the unit
Coming in durable double walled construction support, these advanced technology based Dual Incubators come with thick PUF insulation that allows optimum temperature stability as well as also ensure comparatively reduced consumption of energy.
Specifications:
Hot Air Ovens are electrical devices used in sterilization. Generally, they can be operated from 50 to 300 DegreeC (122 to 572 DegreeF) . There is a thermostat controlling the temperature. These are digitally controlled to maintain the temperature.
In an Orbital shaker incubator the unit is added with a typical shaker that has a table board that oscillates horizontally, powered by an electric motor. The liquids to be stirred are held in beakers, jars, or Erlenmeyer that are placed over the table; or, sometimes, in test tubes or vials that are nested into holes in the plate. Orbital shakers also exist, that shake the vessel in a circular fashion.
Drying is a mass transfer process consisting of the removal of water or another solvent by evaporation from a solid, semi-solid or liquid. This process is often used as a final production step before selling or packaging products. To be considered "dried", the final product must be solid, in the form of a continuous sheet (e.g., paper), long pieces (e.g., wood), particles (e.g., cereal grains or corn flakes) or powder (e.g., sand, salt, washing powder, milk powder). A source of heat and an agent to remove the vapor produced by the process are often involved. In bio-products like food, grains, and pharmaceuticals like vaccines, the solvent to be removed is almost invariably water.
Universal Oven (Memmert type) : Standard double walled construction. Inner chamber made of aluminum or stainless steel sheet. Exterior made of mild steel sheet finished in powder coated color combinations. Three sides heating provides uniform and quick temperature rise in range of 50°C to 250°C ± 2°C and is thermostatically controlled.
A Vacuum Oven is a type of oven that can heat materials, typically metals, to very high temperatures and carry out processes such as brazing, sintering and heat treatment with high consistency and low contamination.
In a vacuum oven the product in the oven is surrounded by a vacuum. The absence of air or other gases prevents heat transfer with the product through convection and removes a source of contamination.
