Digital Incubator

Digital Incubator

A Digital Incubator has many applications but the principal function of the machine is to maintain a constant temperature by utilizing a thermoctal or thermistor. The box-shaped apparatus is designed to create a specific environmental condition by regulating temperature and humidity. These machines are used for bacterial culture, hatching eggs artificially and setting a condition for biological and chemical reactions.

Digital incubators ensure convenient operation, removing the requirement of external thermometers and analogue control knobs. The incubators are also efficient in monitoring accurate chamber temperature and display in real-time.

Types of Digital Incubators

Bacteriological Incubators – Bacteriological incubators are a type of incubator used in laboratories for incubating bacteria or their growth in a controlled setting. It contains thermostat for maintaining a preset temperature required for incubation of bacteria. The design of such incubators features a thermometer by which the temperature can be observed for ensuring the required temperature levels.

Digital humidity incubators – This type of incubators are used for tracking the humidity during the incubation process. The recommended level of humidity in the Incubators should be between 50-55%. This level should be increased to 65% for the last three days of incubation. In digital humidity incubators a water pot is provided to ensure the requisite level of moisture.

Digital Dry Block Incubators – Digital dry block incubators are designed for setting up flexible temperature levels while testing products. The maximum temperature level which can be set is 105oC. Block incubators feature separate blocks that allow two temperature settings in different blocks simultaneously. It features alarm to alert when the incubation process is completed to enable perfect incubation.

Digital BOD incubators –

Digital BOD incubators are designed for providing the required temperature for incubating microorganisms and ensuring their proper growth. It is particularly used for finding out the organic matter composition and nitrogen constituents in waste water samples.

Key Highlights of Digital Incubator

• The temperature range of a digital incubator is generally ranging from 10° to 90°C. It has a digital inputs and over-range safety thermometer with a warning light.
• The machine also has a blower fan for uniform temperature control. Some incubators also contain a PID controller and isolated power switch.
• The door is solid and made of polycarbonate (in some cases clear polycarbonate) or stainless steel.
• The digital PID microprocessor is installed with the incubator. Additionally, the heat generates through convection technology, which gives a proper heat distribution and uniformity.

Special B.O.D Incubator Features

Biological oxygen demand (B.O.D) applications are applicable for the measurement of pollution within a given water sample. It measures the oxygen consumed by microorganisms when they decompose organic matter in the water. BOD incubator is specially designed to maintain accurate temperature uniformity in the wastewater treatment plant, plant cultivation and germination studies.

Incubators with UV lighting

The two primary ways to disinfect the incubator chamber are ultraviolet sanitization and heat decontamination. UV lighting denatures the genetic material of microorganisms. The incubator has digital controllers and loads presence sensors. On the other hand, high-heat decontamination uses hot, moist air to decontaminate the chambers.
