What Is a Laboratory Incubator, and why it matters more than ever
A laboratory incubator is far more than a simple heated chamber, it’s an essential instrument for nurturing microbial and cell cultures. By controlling temperature, humidity, gas composition, and cycling conditions with precision, incubators create the optimal environment. This ensures reliable support your most delicate experiments.
Whether you’re growing bacteria, culturing cells, conducting biochemical assays, supporting pharmaceutical research, or performing food safety testing, a temperature-controlled incubator offers a sterile, reliable environment that is essential for reproducibility and sample integrity.
Laboratory Incubator vs. Oven
An oven is no substitute for an incubator. While ovens run hot, usually between 100 °C and 300 °C, incubators are designed for much gentler conditions, typically 15 °C to 40 °C. Using an oven instead risks overheating and ruining delicate cultures.
