Product Overview
Temperature control and chamber uniformity
Natural convection: natural air circulation supports stable temperature distribution in the chamber without forced airflow.
PID intelligent control: two-temperature-section PID regulation with sensor deviation correction and self-tuning.
Pt100 sensor: reliable temperature sensing for routine incubation workflows.
Temperature performance: 0.1°C display resolution, ±0.5°C temperature motion and 1°C uniformity.
Routine laboratory operation
LED display: clear temperature display and direct parameter control for daily laboratory use.
Timing function: 0-9999 min timer with timing wait function and auto-stop support.
Observation window: built-in glass window helps check samples without unnecessary door opening.
Two shelves: standard shelf set supports small batches, culture vessels and compact containers.
Safety and parameter protection
Over-temperature alarm: sound and light alarm indicates abnormal temperature condition.
Parameter memory: settings are retained in case of electrical cut-off.
Internal parameter locking: protects routine settings from unintended changes.
Top exhaust flap: adjustable Ø28 mm top exhaust air flap also functions as a test hole.
Laboratory use profile
Small laboratories: compact 18 L incubation capacity for limited bench-space environments.
Backup incubator: practical reserve unit for peak load, validation work or service downtime.
Routine incubation: suitable for controlled-temperature microbial testing and sample incubation.
Documentation: standard temperature certificate at 40°C in chamber centre is issued by COLO technical service.
