A compact, rugged incubator designed to deliver reliable microbiological analysis in HVAC and water treatment systems. It maintains the correct, steady temperature necessary for accurate dip-slide testing — ensuring bacteria present in a sample can grow properly and be measured effectively. Ideal for field or on-site use, it’s suitable for monitoring equipment like cooling towers, closed-loop systems or plant-rooms where precise water hygiene control is required.
This incubator functions as a refrigerator or warm incubator by means of a thermoelectric (Peltier) system. Two removable shelves creates 3 platforms. The desired temperature is set on the digital LED display, and the incubator immediately starts heating or cooling, while accurately monitoring the temperature inside and displaying it on the LED panel. NOTE: There is a temperature gradient inside the unit, but the temperature is stable within each shelf.
