What is the benefit of forced convection in an incubator?

Forced convection ensures rapid heating, excellent temperature uniformity throughout the chamber, and quick recovery times after door openings, even with a full load.

Can this incubator be used for sterilisation?

While it has a 100 °C disinfection routine for internal decontamination, it is not designed for sterilising instruments or media at higher temperatures typically required for full sterilisation.

Is data logging available on this unit?

Units of this type commonly include a USB port for convenient data logging of temperature profiles and operational parameters.

What maintenance is typically required for this type of incubator?

Routine cleaning of the interior, periodic calibration checks, and ensuring the air filter (if present) is clear are common maintenance tasks. Always refer to the manufacturer's manual for specific instructions.

What is the purpose of the inner glass door?

The transparent inner glass door allows visual inspection of samples without disturbing the internal temperature conditions, maintaining stability during operation.
