What is gravity convection?

Gravity convection uses natural air movement within the chamber to distribute heat. This method is preferred for delicate samples as it minimises air currents that could cause sample desiccation or contamination.

Is this incubator suitable for cell culture?

While it provides stable temperature, this model is primarily a microbiological incubator. For CO2-dependent cell culture, a dedicated CO2 incubator with precise CO2 control would typically be more appropriate.

What maintenance is typically required?

Routine cleaning of the interior, periodic calibration checks, and ensuring the door seal remains intact are common maintenance tasks for incubators of this class.

Can this unit be stacked?

Some incubators in this series are designed for stacking. Buyers should consult the manufacturer's specifications for this particular model to confirm stacking capability and any required accessories.

Does it come with shelves?

Used units typically include a standard set of shelves. Buyers should confirm the exact number and type of shelves with the seller.
