Incubators

Laboratory Incubators

Laboratory incubators are indispensable for research and quality control. They create a precisely controlled environment for temperature, humidity and sometimes gas concentrations. This is essential for cell culture, microbiological research and other sensitive applications. Thanks to stable conditions, you minimise contamination risks and ensure reproducible results.

Poly Temp offers a broad range of laboratory incubators, from compact benchtop units to freestanding models. Capacities run from 18 litres to over 700 litres. This way, you cover both small-scale and large-scale applications.

Applications in Cell and Microbiological Research

You can use incubators for culturing cells, micro-organisms and tissues. They are also well suited for stability and shelf-life testing. Poly Temp supplies both simple microbiological incubators and advanced units with mechanical convection and internal air filters. So you will find the right solution for every research environment.

Incubators are furthermore valuable in the food industry, for example for microbiological analysis and shelf-life testing of food products. They are additionally used in arable and horticultural research, for plant cell culture and the testing of growth conditions.

Temperature and Humidity Control

A reliable incubator requires precise control over temperature and humidity. Poly Temp supplies incubators with a temperature range from +4°C to +105°C. Stability reaches down to ±0.1°C and uniformity to ±0.6°C. Advanced convection technology moreover ensures even heat distribution, even during door movements or with large loads.

Hygiene and Contamination Prevention

Preventing contamination is essential in every laboratory. Our incubators feature smooth stainless steel inner chambers and internal glass doors for observation without temperature fluctuations. Ventilation systems with HEPA filtration or laminar airflow provide further protection. Some models additionally carry out integrated sterilisation cycles up to 140°C or UV cleaning. This way, you safeguard the integrity of your samples.

Energy Efficiency and Ease of Use

Poly Temp’s incubators deliver precise performance with low energy consumption. Peltier and compressor technologies, intelligent fan control and high-quality insulation significantly reduce energy use. Touchscreen controls and programmable incubation profiles make setting parameters straightforward. Data logging then allows you to monitor and analyse results with ease.

Flexibility and Scalability

Our incubators are available in a range of sizes. Compact 18-litre units fit in limited workspaces. Medium-sized systems from 150 to 420 litres offer greater capacity. For high-throughput applications, Poly Temp supplies large reach-in incubators up to 821 litres. Many models are stackable or modular, so you make optimal use of your available space.

Advantages for Professional Laboratories

With Poly Temp’s incubators, your laboratory has access to reliable and safe research conditions. You combine precision, energy efficiency, hygiene and ease of use in a single instrument. The result: reproducible and high-quality research outcomes. View our full overview on the incubators page or get in touch for personalised advice.
