A laboratory incubator is designed to control environmental conditions, such as temperature and humidity, often used for growing bacterial cultures, hatching eggs artificially, or providing suitable conditions for a chemical or biological reaction.
BenchMark Research Products
Four Position BenchMark Digital Dry Bath Incubator
This Four Position BenchMark Digital Dry Bath offers digital control over both temperature and time, eliminating the need for an external thermometer or timer. The unit is extremely space efficient. The Four Position model can accommodate up to ninety-six 1.5ml microtubes in less than a square foot of bench space. The cavities of the high grade aluminum blocks are precision machined to match the conical size and shape of 0.5, 1.5, 2.0, 15 and 50ml tube sizes, providing unsurpassed temperature uniformity.
This Benchmark Dry Bath offers a built-in user recalibration function to guarantee long term temperature accuracy. The Dry Bath includes an easy-to-use block lifter with a temperature insulated handle for quick, convenient exchange of blocks even while they are still hot. Four Position unit holds four blocks at a time.

Benchtop Shaking/Rotating Incubator-Genie
The Shaking/Rotating Incubator for the study of micro-organisms and tissue cell growth under strictly controlled conditions of temperature and agitation. Designed to provide the security of precise temperature control and uniformity for demanding incubation applications without taking up a great deal of space. It performs membrane-based assays/washings and hybridizations more efficiently.
The white SI-1201 multi-functional Enviro-Genie is a Refrigerator / Incubator / Rotator / Rocker / Stirrer. Microprocessor control easily achieves desired rotating, rocking, and stirring speed; temperature; and time; all of which are shown on a large, easy to read display for accurate reproducible conditions. Visible and audible alarms for both temperature and time. Precise temperature control and uniformity – range from 4.0°C to 75.0°C.
Thermo Scientific
Precision Large-Capacity Incubators
The Thermo Scientific Precision Large-Capacity Incubators; Door: Glass; Model: 30MR measures 100″ x 42″ x 40″ and weighs 815 pounds. Precision Model 30M Incubators are ideal for laboratory applications requiring a broad temperature range, fast temperature recovery, and large loading capacities.
The integral direct drive blower gently circulates air throughout the chamber to provide a temperature uniformity of ±0.5°C at 37°C while ensuring fast temperature recovery after the door is opened. The 30M incubator requires hardwire installation by a qualified electrician.
What is a Laboratory Incubator?
General Purpose Incubators are a must for most all microbiology applications. Incubators are useful whether growing bacteria in a classroom or working at a pharmaceutical laboratory. Three design features differentiate laboratory incubators: temperature range, the temperature uniformity, and the chamber size.
An incubator maintains optimal temperature, humidity and other conditions such as the carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxygen content of the atmosphere inside. Incubators are essential for a lot of experimental work in cell biology, microbiology and molecular biology and are used to culture both bacterial as well as eukaryotic cells.
