Incubators

Laboratory Incubators

Laboratory incubators are indispensable instruments for research and quality control. They provide a precisely controlled environment for temperature, humidity and sometimes gas concentrations, essential for cell culture, microbiological research and other sensitive applications. By maintaining stable conditions, contamination risks are minimised and results remain reproducible.

Poly Temp offers a broad range of laboratory incubators, from compact benchtop units to freestanding models. Capacities range from small 18-litre units to large systems of over 700 litres, enabling both small-scale and large-scale applications.

Applications in Cell and Microbiological Research

Incubators are used for a wide range of applications such as culturing cells, micro-organisms and tissues, and performing stability or shelf-life tests. Poly Temp offers both simple microbiological incubators and advanced units with mechanical convection, dual fan systems and internal air filters, suitable for diverse research environments.

Temperature and Humidity Control

A reliable incubator requires precise control over temperature and humidity. Poly Temp’s range includes incubators with temperature ranges from +4°C to +105°C, with stability down to +/-0.1°C and uniformity down to +/-0.6°C. Advanced ventilation systems and convection technology ensure an even distribution of heat and moisture, even during door movements or with large loads.

Hygiene and Contamination Prevention

For laboratories, preventing contamination is essential. Our incubators feature smooth, stainless steel inner chambers, internal glass doors for observation without temperature fluctuations and ventilation systems with HEPA filtration or laminar airflow. Some models have integrated sterilisation cycles up to 140°C or UV lamps, effectively removing micro-organisms and ensuring the safety of samples.

Energy Efficiency and Ease of Use

Poly Temp’s incubators combine precise performance with efficient energy use. Peltier and compressor technologies, intelligent fan control and high-quality insulation significantly reduce energy consumption. Touchscreen controls, programmable incubation profiles and data logging enable researchers to easily set, monitor and analyse parameters.

Flexibility and Scalability

Our incubators are available in a range of sizes: compact 18-litre units for limited workspace, medium-sized systems of 150 to 420 litres and large reach-in incubators up to 821 litres for high-throughput applications. Many models are stackable or modular, allowing laboratories to make optimal use of their available space, and can be equipped with internal racks and shelves for different samples and equipment.

Advantages for Professional Laboratories

With Poly Temp’s incubators, laboratories have access to reliable and safe conditions for cell and microbiological research. The range offers a combination of precision, energy efficiency, hygiene, flexibility and ease of use, guaranteeing reproducible and high-quality research results.
