Forced Convection vs Natural Convection

Forced convection ovens or incubators use a fan to actively circulate hot air, ensuring uniform temperature distribution and faster heating. In contrast, natural convection rely on gravity-driven airflow, where hot air rises and cooler air sinks. This results in slower, less uniform heating but gentler airflow, ideal for sensitive samples.

Unique Structural Functions

To support longer incubation times, the unit includes a water tray that delays media drying. Additionally, it has a double stackable design. This makes it ideal for labs with limited bench space, especially when paired with a stacking set.

Get Connected

Monitor and control your chamber remotely using the LC Connected mobile app when paired with the LC GreenBox. This convenient setup allows you to access real-time data, adjust settings, and ensure reliable performance from anywhere. All collected data can be easily exported as Excel or text files for seamless reporting and further analysis.

Real-Time Monitoring and Remote Access

You can monitor the chamber temperature through a Building Management System (BMS), which helps you respond quickly to changes. For added flexibility, the optional LC GreenBox system enables remote control and monitoring from your mobile device.
