Constant Temperature Lab Equipment and Thermoelectric Technology: Thermoelectric Incubator Solutions to Reduce Your Lab’s Carbon Footprint

12 Feb 2014

Lab equipment and energy efficiency are often a contradiction in terms and technology. This white paper addresses the drawback of traditional compressor based incubators and presents a new technology that can improve your testing process while reducing your energy usage.

Energy Efficient Refrigerated Incubators (SRI3P, SRI6P, SRI20P)

SHEL LAB

Using innovative thermoelectric cooling technology, the SRI3P, SRI6P and SRI20P eliminate the need for a refrigeration compressor This means that these units use 78% less power than alternative models and reduce room air conditioning loads by 75%. They also include 75-pound capacity shelves, which eliminates sagging. These incubators meet APHA specifications for Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and include a mechanical convection system to ensure even air distribution, digital temperature set controller, over temperature limit control, and a digital temperature display.Low Temperature Incubators are ideal for testing of sewage and wastewater, as well as other low and room temperature applications.

IncubatorsLaboratory incubators are used to provide a stable environment to cultivate and store samples in, giving you optimal control of temperature, humidity, oxygen and CO<sub>2</sub> levels. Incubators are necessary equipment for cell culture and microbial research. Control temperature with heated or refrigerated incubators, or the levels of CO<sub>2</sub> and oxygen with CO<sub>2</sub> incubators. Using environmental chambers, create a humid climate for testing samples.

Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments.
