A – Lab Incubator Capacity
(back to chart)
Laboratory incubatorsare manufactured in a broad array of sizes, ranging from compact benchtop units smaller than 1 cubic foot to high-capacity, reach-in chambers larger than 40 cubic feet.
Compact incubators(small-footprint, counter-top models under 6 cubic feet) are designed to house samples from a single cell culture line. For labs with limited workspace, certain benchtop incubators are compatible with stacking kits that accommodate up to 3 units.
Floor-standing incubators（最多20立方英尺）设计用于将培养物与多个细胞系分离，从而保护样品免受交叉污染。
High volume reach-in models(larger than 20 cubic feet) include space for additional sample agitation equipment, such as incubator-safe shakers, for cell aeration and solubility studies.

Lab incubatorsandenvironmental test chambersare designed to maintain environmental conditions ideal for growing and storing bacterial and mammalian cell cultures.
Why Use a CO2 Incubator for Cell Culture?
CO2 incubators, used primarily to promote human cell growth, maintain a temperature of 37 degrees Celsius and a humidity level of 95% RH. Microbiological incubators are designed to sustain temperatures between 5 degrees and 70 degrees Celsius to accommodate a variety of bacterial, viral and fungal species.
冷藏孵化器maintain temperatures up to 40 degrees cooler than ambient conditions for fermentation studies and plant cell cultures.
C – Incubator Construction Material

C1 – Aluminum Incubators
Drosophila incubatorsfeature day/night cycling to promote fruit fly germination and include aluminum-clad interior panels for better light refraction throughout the chamber.
C2 – Epoxy-Coated Steel Incubators
环氧涂层钢抗性是最常见的杀菌剂和酒精的消毒剂，但在高湿度环境中可能容易腐蚀。
C3 – Powder-Coated Steel Incubators
Powder-coated steel represents an economical alternative to stainless steel, resisting most sanitizers and disinfectants. However, the powder coating may crack after prolonged exposure to bleach-based cleaners.
C4 - 不锈钢孵化器
Stainless steel incubators maintain aseptic conditions within the incubator, resist all sanitizers and disinfectants, and will not corrode in high humidity environments.
D - 环境孵化器空气对流方法

D1 – Air Jacket Incubators
Jacketed CO2 Incubatorsemploy two primary methods of temperature control: water-jacketed and air-jacketed internal plenums. Water-jacketed incubators offer better temperature uniformity but must be drained and cleaned weekly. Air-jacketed models are lighter, easier to transport, and maintenance-free.
D2 – Dual Convection Incubators
双对流孵化器机械和重力对流模式之间的切换。重力对流模型通过加热元件，内部腔室的底部引入热量，并使重力导致温暖的空气在整个存储区域中升高。机械对流系统利用内部风扇在内部腔室中分布加热的空气。
D3 - 强迫空气孵化器
Similar to mechanical convection systems,forced air incubator利用内部或外部鼓风机在整个内部腔室中分发加热的空气。强制空气和机械对流孵化器访问腔室后的恢复时间减少，使这些设计非常适合高通量细胞培养实验室。
D4 – Gravity Incubators
Gravity convection incubatorsintroduce heat into the bottom of the internal chamber and allow gravity to distribute the warmed air across the storage area as it rises. Gravity convection systems maintain lower air change rates than mechanical or forced-air units – ideal for labs storing non-aqueous samples prone to over-drying.
D5 – Mechanical Incubators
Mechanical convection incubatorsyield industry-leading temperature uniformity by utilizing a fan to distribute heated air across the internal chamber. Given their higher air change rate, mechanical convection incubators quickly warm samples transferred from cold storage without evaporating the growth media.
E - 电压
(back to chart)
E1 – 120 Incubators
120-volt connections are suitable for standard residential power outlets in the US.
E2 – 240 Incubators
240-volt connections require less current (amperage) and smaller conductors than appliances designed to operate at 120V.

F1 - B.O.D.孵化器应用
Biological Oxygen Demand (B.O.D.) applicationsdetermine the amount of pollution within a water sample by quantifying the oxygen consumed by microorganisms as they decompose organic matter. BOD incubators utilize Peltier coolers to maintain precise temperature uniformity for wastewater treatment, germination studies and plant cultivation.
F2 - 果蝇培养孵化器
Drosophila incubators通过结合昼夜循环（通过内部LED灯），Peltier热冷却（用于过度温度保护）和机械对流（用于快速温度变化），保持果蝇培养的最佳条件。
F3 – High Security Incubators
High security incubators使用受限制的访问控制,如手指print scanners and keycard readers, to protect high-value samples for clinical diagnostics, recombinant protein production, or gene expression.
F4 – Small Footprint Incubators
Compact modelswith可选的堆叠套件是拥挤的研究实验室或台式空间有限的教育机构的理想选择。
F5 – Incubators with Timed On/Off Cycles
对于具有超出标准48小时培养周期的孵化协议的样品，高级协议模型包括具有定时/关闭周期的数字控制器，用于实时样品监测。
F6 – Incubator with UV Lighting
The two primary methods for incubator chamber disinfection are UV sanitization and high-heat decontamination. Germicidal UV light, emitted at 254 nanometers, denatures microbial genetic material. Incubators with UV lighting are equipped with digital controllers and load presence sensors to prevent samples from UV exposure. High-heat decontamination cycles utilize hot, moist air to sterilize the inner chamber when the incubator is free of samples.
F7 – Stackable Incubators
Certain benchtop incubators are compatible with optional stacking kits capable of housing up to three small-footprint units. Stackable units are ideal for crowded labs culturing distinct cell lines that cannot be stored within a single incubator.
F8 – Remote Cell Culture Monitoring Incubators
与远程细胞培养监测系统的孵化器允许通过移动应用程序或LIMS集成实时，视觉样本观察。
G – Cell Culture Incubator Humidity and Co2 Controls

G1 – CO2 Gas Incubators
CO2 carbon dioxide incubators use infrared or thermocouple sensors to maintain optimal conditions for cell and tissue culture growth. Optional CO2 alarms alert operators when their gas tank requires replacement.
G2 – Cell Culture Incubators - Humidity Control Co2 Incubators
真核细胞在95％RH的湿度水平上最佳生长。专为临床诊断的孵化器利用红外传感器来维持精确的湿度水平来促进人类细胞的生长。
G3 – O2 Gas Incubators
厌氧细胞培养或忧郁oxia studies, certain incubators include O2 gas control to reduce oxygen levels within the incubator down to 0.1%.
