Forced Convection Refrigerated Incubators from Jeiotech deliver exceptional performance and reliability for your laboratory needs. With a temperature range from 0 °C to 80 °C, these incubators ensure precise environmental control for a wide range of applications. The silent cooling system reduces water evaporation, while microprocessor PID control and three-point temperature calibration enhance accuracy. Additionally, forced air convection with a crossflow fan guarantees uniform temperature throughout the chamber.
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.
Convenience Features
These Forced Convection Refrigerated Incubators are designed with user convenience in mind. They offer a spacious internal volume of up to 242 liters. The bright VFD display has a resolution of 0.1 °C, making temperature monitoring simple. Dual “wait on/off” timers (1 minute to 99 hours 59 minutes) include heating level indicators and a fast-adjust dial knob. A preset function also allows quick access to your three most-used temperature settings.
For added usability, the unit includes a built-in electrical outlet with a safety cover—ideal for powering small devices inside the chamber. The inner tempered-glass door allows for visual monitoring without disrupting internal conditions. Cleaning is simplified by the rounded chamber corners, while the quick-release front grill makes condenser maintenance easy. For external control and data logging, built-in RS-232 and USB ports are included. You can also monitor your incubator remotely via the LC Connected mobile app when paired with the LC GreenBox (sold separately).
Safety Assurance
These incubators prioritize safety. In the event of a power outage, the system automatically resumes operation. Over-current protection and a triple independent temperature monitoring system ensure dependable operation. Alarms notify you of any high or low temperature deviations, while both electronic and mechanical over-temperature limiters add an extra layer of protection. The keypad lock prevents accidental changes during use, and open-door alarms—both visual and audible—enhance operational security.
