Are all incubators warm?
When we think of incubators, the first image that usually comes to mind is a warm, nurturing environment.
Traditionally, laboratory incubators are associated with providing heat to support the growth of microorganisms, cell cultures, and various biological entities.
However, not all laboratory incubators are designed to keep things warm. In fact, many laboratories require cooled incubators to maintain lower temperatures for specific applications.
At QED Scientific, we understand the diverse needs of scientific research and offer a range of chilled and cooled incubators to meet these demands.
Understanding cooled incubators
Cooled incubators, also known as cold incubators, are designed to maintain temperatures below ambient levels.
They are essential for experiments and storage conditions that require a controlled, cool environment.
With temperature ranges typically spanning from 10°C to 60°C, cooled incubators provide the flexibility and precision necessary for various laboratory applications, some of which we will explore below.
Applications of cooled laboratory incubators
Cooled incubators play a crucial role in numerous scientific fields. Here are some of their most common applications:
Microbiological studies
Certain bacteria and fungi thrive at lower temperatures. Cold laboratory incubators ensure optimal growth conditions for these microorganisms, facilitating accurate and reliable results in microbiological research.
Enzyme reactions
Many enzymatic reactions are sensitive to temperature. Cold incubators help maintain the necessary conditions to prevent the denaturation of enzymes and ensure proper reaction rates.
Stability testing
Pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries rely on cooled laboratory incubators for stability testing. These tests assess how products perform under different temperature conditions over time, ensuring quality and safety.
Plant research
Certain plant species and tissues require cooler environments for growth and development. Cooled incubators provide the precise temperature control needed for plant research and propagation.
