The ConductScience Constant Temperature Incubator provides precise temperature control for laboratory applications requiring stable thermal environments. This forced convection incubator operates from ambient temperature plus 5°C to 120°C with ±1°C temperature fluctuation and uniformity, ensuring consistent conditions for sample incubation, storage, and testing protocols.
Available in four chamber volumes (30L, 45L, 65L, 85L, and 125L configurations), the incubator features multiple shelving options (5-11 shelves depending on model) with 15 kg load capacity per rack. The 0.1°C temperature resolution enables precise control for temperature-sensitive biological and chemical processes requiring controlled thermal conditions.
How It Works
The incubator operates using forced convection heating, where heated air is circulated throughout the chamber using an internal fan system. This convective heat transfer ensures uniform temperature distribution across all shelf levels, eliminating thermal gradients that could affect sample consistency. The heating elements are controlled by a temperature regulation system that maintains setpoint temperatures within ±1°C fluctuation.
Temperature uniformity of ±1.0°C is achieved through strategic air circulation patterns and chamber design, ensuring that samples placed at different locations within the incubator experience equivalent thermal conditions. The 0.1°C resolution temperature control system provides precise monitoring and adjustment capabilities for applications requiring tight temperature tolerances.

This incubator series provides precise temperature control with 0.1°C resolution across multiple chamber sizes. The forced convection design ensures uniform thermal conditions throughout the chamber, while variable shelf configurations maximize experimental flexibility for diverse laboratory applications.
Practical Tips
Verify temperature accuracy using certified thermometers at multiple shelf positions quarterly.
Why: Ensures uniform temperature distribution meets protocol requirements across the entire chamber.
Clean chamber interior and shelves weekly with mild detergent, ensuring complete drying before use.
Why: Prevents contamination and maintains proper air circulation for uniform heating.
Allow 30-minute stabilization after temperature changes before loading critical samples.
Why: Ensures thermal equilibrium throughout the chamber for consistent incubation conditions.
Distribute samples evenly across shelves and avoid overcrowding containers.
Why: Maintains proper air circulation essential for uniform temperature distribution.
Document chamber temperature using the 0.1°C resolution display at regular intervals during long incubations.
Why: Provides temperature history records required for protocol validation and regulatory compliance.
Check door seal integrity if temperature stability issues occur during operation.
Why: Compromised seals allow thermal losses that disrupt temperature control and uniformity.
Position incubator away from direct sunlight and ensure adequate ventilation clearance around all sides.
Why: Prevents external heat sources from affecting temperature control and ensures proper heat dissipation.

Compliance
What is the temperature stability over extended incubation periods?
The incubator maintains ±1°C temperature fluctuation with ±1.0°C uniformity throughout the chamber, controlled to 0.1°C resolution for consistent long-term incubation conditions.
How many samples can each shelf accommodate?
Each shelf supports up to 15 kg load capacity. Actual sample number depends on container size and weight, with shelf quantity ranging from 5-11 shelves depending on incubator model.
Is the unit suitable for sterile culture work?
The forced convection design provides uniform heating, though sterile technique and appropriate culture vessel selection remain critical for contamination prevention in biological applications.
What chamber sizes are available?
Five chamber volumes are offered: 30L, 45L, 65L, 85L, and 125L configurations to accommodate different throughput requirements and laboratory space constraints.
How quickly does the unit reach setpoint temperature?
Heat-up time varies by target temperature and chamber size. Allow minimum 30 minutes for temperature stabilization before loading critical samples.
Can the shelves be repositioned during operation?
Shelf height adjustment is possible, though opening the chamber during operation will temporarily disrupt temperature stability until equilibrium is reestablished.
What maintenance is required?
Routine cleaning of chamber interior and shelves, periodic temperature calibration verification, and inspection of door seals for proper thermal isolation.
