COLO.SCIENCE — COMPACT 18 L LABORATORY INCUBATION
Compact natural-convection incubation for microbiology, QC and routine sample work
MBIN18 is designed for laboratories that need a compact 18 L incubator with clear LED control, stable temperature regulation and a built-in observation window. It is suitable for routine microbial testing, small laboratory incubation, sample work, research and QC applications where a small footprint and direct operation are important.
Natural air circulation supports stable chamber conditions without forced airflow. The two-temperature-section PID controller, sensor deviation correction and self-tuning function support routine temperature control, while the timer, parameter memory, over-temperature alarm and internal parameter locking improve everyday operational safety.

COLO.SCIENCE KNOWLEDGE AND SUPPORT
Selection support for compact incubation, documentation and data-output options
COLO.Science supports complete incubation configurations: chamber volume review, target temperature, sample/container dimensions, shelf requirements, communication/data-output options and required temperature certificate type.
How to select and configure MBIN18
When selecting MBIN18, first define the target incubation temperature, chamber load, container dimensions and shelf quantity. The 18 L chamber and 260 × 260 × 260 mm inner size are suitable for compact sample batches and small culture vessels where bench space is limited.
The second selection step is documentation and data output. For basic routine use, the standard temperature certificate at 40°C in the chamber centre may be sufficient. For controlled workflows, specify one-point or multi-point temperature mapping, communication interface, printer, USB data storage, Wi-Fi, remote control or controller options before quotation.
