Thermo Scientific Heratherm Advanced Protocol Security Microbiological Incubator

Thermo Scientific Heratherm Advanced Protocol Security Microbiological Incubator. An incubator holds a temperature steadily for days, which is a different problem from reaching one.

The models differ by 66L 120V, 702L 120V 51029336, 66L 230V, 104L 120V, 104L 230V, 178L 120V and 11 more.

Stability over uniformity over speed

Cultures respond to the temperature they sit in for days, so what matters is that every position in the chamber holds the same value overnight and through a power blip — not how fast the chamber reaches set point. A door opened for thirty seconds should not cost an hour of recovery, and a shelf near the fan should not run a degree warmer than the one below it.

Refrigerated or ambient

An ordinary incubator can only heat, so it cannot hold a temperature below the room. In a tropical laboratory that rules out a great deal: BOD at 20 °C, many environmental protocols and any cool storage need a refrigerated incubator, which both heats and cools. Specifying a heat-only unit for a 20 °C protocol is the most expensive mistake in this category.

Where it is used

• microbiology and culture work
• BOD and environmental protocols
• clinical and food laboratories
• stability and storage studies

Practical note

Put an independent thermometer in the chamber and read it: the controller reports its own sensor, which is one point in a box that may not be uniform.

Supplied in 17 models.
