Types of Lab Incubator Machines

We understand that different research and clinical applications require specific types of incubator lab equipment. Here’s an overview of the main types of lab incubator machines we offer:

Laboratory Incubators

Standard laboratory incubators are the workhorses of many research and clinical settings. They provide:

• Precise temperature control, typically from ambient +5°C to 75°C
• Uniform heat distribution for consistent results
• Optional humidity control for sensitive samples
• Various sizes to accommodate different capacity needs

These incubators are ideal for general microbiology, pharmaceutical stability testing, and food science applications across Australia.

CO2 Incubators

CO2 incubators are specialised units designed for cell and tissue culture. They offer:

• Accurate CO2 concentration control (typically 0-20%)
• Humidity regulation to prevent sample desiccation
• Rapid recovery of optimal conditions after door opening
• Optional O2 control for hypoxic studies

These incubators are crucial for stem cell research, cancer studies, and regenerative medicine projects in leading Australian research institutions.

Shaking Incubators

Shaking incubators combine temperature control with orbital motion, perfect for:

• Culturing microorganisms in liquid media
• Solubility studies
• Extraction procedures

With adjustable speed and temperature settings, these units are valuable in biotechnology firms and environmental labs across Australia and New Zealand.

Tri Gas Incubators

Tri gas incubators offer the most precise atmospheric control, including:

• Independent regulation of CO2, O2, and N2
• Ideal for simulating various physiological conditions
• Critical for advanced cell culture and embryology research

These sophisticated units are found in IVF clinics and advanced life science research facilities throughout Australia.

Choosing the Right Incubator Lab Equipment

Selecting the appropriate laboratory incubator for your needs requires careful consideration of several factors:

• Application Specificity: Determine the primary use of your incubator. Are you culturing cells, incubating microbiological samples, or conducting stability tests?
• Temperature Range and Uniformity: Ensure the incubator can maintain the specific temperatures required for your work with minimal fluctuations.
• Capacity: Consider both your current needs and potential future requirements. It’s often wise to choose a slightly larger unit to accommodate growth.
• Contamination Control: Look for features like HEPA filtration, easy-to-clean interiors, and decontamination cycles, especially for sensitive cell culture work.
• Recovery Time: Fast recovery of optimal conditions after door opening is crucial for maintaining sample integrity.
• Data Logging and Connectivity: Modern lab incubator machines often offer advanced monitoring and data export capabilities, essential for GMP compliance and research documentation.
• Energy Efficiency: Consider models with energy-saving features to reduce operational costs and support sustainability goals.
• Local Support and Servicing: Choose a supplier like Eden Lab that offers comprehensive local support across Australia.
