LEEC P3 Incubator

• Cell culture and tissue growth in research laboratories.
• Microbiological studies requiring controlled atmospheric conditions.
• Pharmaceutical stability testing and quality control.
• Incubation of samples in clinical diagnostics and biotechnology.

Typical capacity

For this class of incubator, internal volumes commonly range from 150 to 250 litres.

Temperature range

Units of this type typically offer a temperature range from ambient +5°C to 60°C.

CO₂ control

Commonly features CO₂ control from 0.5% to 20% for precise atmospheric regulation.

Humidity control

Often includes active humidity control, typically up to 95% RH, to prevent sample desiccation.

Shelving

Typically supplied with multiple adjustable shelves, often stainless steel, to maximise usable space.

Power supply

Units commonly operate on a standard single-phase 230V, 50Hz electrical supply.

Footprint

For a unit of this capacity, the external footprint is typically around 600mm (W) x 700mm (D) x 900mm (H).

• What is the typical warm-up time for a LEEC P3 incubator?

  Warm-up time from ambient to 37°C is typically around 60-90 minutes, depending on the specific unit's condition and ambient temperature.

• Are CO₂ incubators like the LEEC P3 suitable for anaerobic cultures?

• What type of CO₂ sensor is commonly used in these incubators?

• What maintenance is typically required for a CO₂ incubator?

• Can this incubator be stacked with other units?

Laboratory incubators are valued for reliable temperature control and consistent culture conditions essential to biotech and pharmaceutical work. Buyers typically prioritise even heat distribution, accurate CO2 regulation where applicable, and robust construction. Used units remain popular provided they have been well maintained and calibrated recently. Key considerations when purchasing secondhand include verifying temperature uniformity, checking seal integrity, and confirming service history. Durability and long operational lifespan make these instruments reliable investments for established facilities and smaller laboratories alike.
