Introduction and differentiation of common laboratory incubators

Light incubator

The light incubator is a high-precision thermostat with illumination function; the light incubator is a special constant temperature culture device for the cultivation and breeding experiments of bacteria, molds and microorganisms, especially for bioengineering, medical research, agriculture and forestry science, aquatic products, animal husbandry, etc. The ideal equipment for research and production use.

The housing of the light incubator is generally cold-rolled steel plate, the surface is electrostatically sprayed, the inner liner is engineering plastic or stainless steel, the thermal insulation layer is formed by polyester foam, and the light-transmissive window is double-layered insulating glass to ensure the thermal insulation performance inside the box. Inside the body, the gas circulation in the cold and hot air duct box is smooth and the temperature is more uniform.

Microbial incubator
The microbial incubator is suitable for scientific research, college experiments and production departments such as environmental protection, sanitation and epidemic prevention, agriculture and livestock, drug testing, and aquatic products. It is a special constant temperature and constant temperature oscillating equipment for water body analysis and BOD determination of bacteria, mold, and microorganism culture, preservation, plant cultivation, and breeding experiments.

What is the connection between the microbial incubator and the light incubator?

The light incubator is mainly used for the cultivation of plants. The microbial incubator has different types depending on the type of microorganisms to be cultured, and is roughly aerobic and anaerobic.

What is a plant incubator

The plant incubator is actually a light-incubating incubator with humidity. The conditions of light, temperature and humidity can meet the growth needs of plants. The principle of the plant incubator is several sets of tubes and a temperature control device (usually 5-50 degrees). If there are lighting settings at the advanced point, such as when the lights are turned off, when the lights are strong, etc.

Artificial climate chamber

A closed isolation device that can manually control factors such as light, temperature, humidity, air pressure and gas composition is called an "artificial climate chamber".

Humidity Chamber

Thermostatic incubator: A box that can accurately simulate complex natural environments such as constant temperature and constant humidity. It has a precise temperature and humidity control system. The laboratory is generally used for plant culture and breeding experiments; bacteria and microorganisms. Culture, used for breeding, fermentation, microbial culture, various constant temperature tests, environmental tests, substance denaturation tests, and storage of media, serum, drugs, etc. Can be widely used in pharmaceutical, textile, food processing and other sterility tests, widely used in medical and health, bio-pharmaceutical, agricultural research, environmental protection and other research applications.

The constant temperature and humidity chamber industry is generally used in high-low temperature, high and low humidity experiments for electric and electronic, household appliances, automobiles, instrumentation, electronic chemicals, parts, raw materials and coatings, coatings, in aerospace, aviation, ships, weapons. , electronics, petrochemical, post and telecommunications, communications, automotive, and other fields are favored

The difference between constant temperature incubator and mold incubator

Constant temperature incubator: Separate water type electric heating constant temperature incubator and electric heating constant temperature incubator

Water-proof electric heating constant temperature incubator: When the water jacket is in power failure, it can still be well thermostated, and adopts two kinds of temperature control methods: microcomputer intelligent temperature controller and bimetal regulator. Temperature control range: room temperature +5 ° C -60 ° C, can only stabilize the temperature above room temperature, without refrigeration.

The mold incubator, because the suitable growth temperature of mold is 22 ~ 28 ° C, so the mold incubator should have dual-system hot and cold temperature control, when the summer room temperature is higher than 30 ° C, in order to ensure the mold is suitable for growth, it is necessary to cool, the temperature Down-regulation, when the room temperature is lower than 10 °C in winter, in order to ensure the mold is suitable for growth, it is necessary to heat up and raise the temperature.

Therefore, the mold incubator and the constant temperature incubator have a large volume, and the mold incubator is more expensive, about 1000-2000 yuan.

The relationship and difference between biochemical incubator and mold incubator

Biochemical incubator Biochemical box is widely used in culture, preservation, water quality analysis and BOD test of bacteria, mold, microorganisms and tissue cells, suitable for breeding experiments and plant cultivation. It is an important test equipment for scientific research institutions, universities, production units or department laboratories in the fields of biology, genetic engineering, medicine, health and epidemic prevention, environmental protection, agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry.

Contact: Both have dual-system hot and cold temperature control.

The difference: biochemical incubator does not have humidity control and does not have anti-virus function, while mold has both moisture control and anti-virus function.

Therefore, the same volume of mold incubator is slightly more expensive than the biochemical incubator.
