MBINF Laboratory Incubator · Forced Air · Light and UV Lamp · 45 to 210 L
The MBINF laboratory incubator keeps cultures at an even temperature from 5 °C above room temperature up to 70 °C with forced air circulation. An interior light and a UV lamp, an inner tempered glass door and a stainless-steel chamber are common to all four sizes: 45 L (PRO3009), 65 L (PRO3010), 125 L (PRO3011) and 210 L (PRO3012).
MBINF models and order codes
| Model | Order code | Chamber volume | Inner chamber W × D × H | Exterior W × D × H | Heating power |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MBINF45 | PRO3009 | 45 L | 350 × 350 × 350 mm | 525 × 480 × 620 mm | 250 W |
| MBINF65 | PRO3010 | 65 L | 400 × 350 × 450 mm | 575 × 480 × 720 mm | 250 W |
| MBINF125 | PRO3011 | 125 L | 500 × 450 × 550 mm | 675 × 580 × 820 mm | 500 W |
| MBINF210 | PRO3012 | 210 L | 600 × 580 × 600 mm | 775 × 710 × 870 mm | 600 W |
All four sizes share the same controller, fan, light and UV lamp, double door and stainless-steel chamber; they differ in chamber size and heating power. Exterior dimensions and power are typical values. Not sure which size you need? Send the vessel type and how many you incubate at once, and we will propose the model.
Microbiological incubator with fan, light and UV lamp
A fan with four speed steps moves the warm air through the whole chamber, so every shelf reaches the setpoint. The UV lamp helps keep the empty chamber clean between runs and switches off automatically when the outer door is opened. With the interior light on, you can check the cultures through the inner glass door without letting the heat out.
Key features
- Temperature RT+5 °C to 70 °C, fluctuation ±0.5 °C, uniformity ±1.5 °C
- Forced air circulation, fan with four speed steps
- Interior light and UV lamp; UV switches off when the door opens
- LCD controller with PID and timer 0 to 9999 min
- Independent digital temperature limiter and over-temperature alarm
- Inner tempered glass door, outer door with magnetic seal
- Stainless-steel chamber, 2 shelves, 15 kg per shelf
- Options: RS485, printer, USB data storage, programmable controller
Suitable for
- Culture of bacteria and fungi with even temperature on all shelves
- Routine incubation at 25–37 °C in food, pharmaceutical and environmental laboratories
- Laboratories that want to keep the chamber clean with UV between runs
- Research and teaching laboratories
Forced air or natural convection?
With a full chamber or vessels on several shelves, a fan gives a more even temperature and a faster return to the setpoint after the door has been opened. For open agar plates choose a low fan step, so the plates do not dry out.
If you prefer a quiet chamber without a fan, see the MBIND incubator series with natural convection.

Typical values, measured without load. The setpoint must be at least 5 °C above room temperature.
Operating functions
PID control and timer
The LCD controller shows the measured and the set temperature and holds the setpoint within ±0.5 °C. The timer runs from 0 to 9999 minutes.
Light and UV lamp
The interior light makes checks through the glass door easy. Run the UV lamp only with the chamber empty and the door closed — UV light damages cultures and skin; it switches off automatically when the outer door is opened.
Safety
An independent digital temperature limiter cuts the heating if the controller fails, and an over-temperature alarm warns the user.
Construction, installation and care
The housing is coated steel; the chamber is stainless steel, easy to wipe and disinfect. Place the incubator level, away from direct sun and other heat or cold sources, with free space to the wall, and connect it to an earthed 220–240 V socket. Clean with a neutral detergent and a dry cloth; do not use acids or alkalis.
