Refrigerated Laboratory Incubator

Shel Lab Refrigerated Incubators (often called B.O.D. Incubators or Low Temperature Incubators) are commonly used for applications such as B.O.D. Determinations, Plant and Insect Studies, Fermentation Studies, and Bacterial Culturing. The Shel Lab Low Temperature Incubators have a temperature range of 20°C degrees below ambient to 45°C. 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.

Standard Design Features:

• Microprocessor Control
• P.I.D. Temperature Control
• LED Display of Set Point and Chamber Temperature
• High Limit Thermostat
• Interior Electrical Outlet
• Fan Assisted/Forced-Air Circulation
• Hermetically Sealed Compressor (non-Peltier models)
• 24 Month Limited Warranty

Refrigerated Shaking Incubator models are also available.

Shel Lab Standard Refrigerated Incubators

These units are equipped with a hermetically-sealed compressor, a circuit breaker to protect from electrical overload, and an easy-to-clean fully insulated chamber that is corrosion-resistant. Gentle, continuous forced-air circulation ensures temperature uniformity and reproducible test conditions. Each unit also includes an independent over temperature safety controller, two shelves (adjustable in two inch increments), and a one amp interior outlet to allow the use of shakers, stirrers, roller bottles or other apparatus. This unit has a steel exterior with welded seams and corners and a double-coated, baked enamel finish. It is supplied with adjustable leveling feet and a condensation drip tray.

Available as 2.4 cu.ft / 68 L (Model LI5), 20.3 cu.ft / 574 L (Model LI20), or 27.0 cu.ft. / 763 L (Model LI27).

Shel Lab Diurnal Plant Chamber Refrigerated Incubator

If your application requires light exposure you should consider the LI15 Diurnal Growth Chamber. The Shel Lab diurnal growth chamber is designed for studies requiring day and nighttime simulation. This unit features dual-program selector dials, which allows control of two temperature conditions and an ON/OFF illumination cycle relative to the program selected. Each system operates independently allowing for simulation of a diurnal cycle, such as an eight hour day cycle of 30°C with light followed by a sixteen hour night cycle of 18°C without light. Forced air circulation ensures the most reproducible test conditions. The chamber air is gently and continuously circulated at a rate that ensures temperature uniformity of all test samples.

Shel Lab Peltier Refrigerated Incubators

Using innovative thermoelectric cooling technology, the Shel Lab Peltier refrigerated incubators 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 eliminate sagging.

Available as 6.5 cu.ft / 185 L (Model LI6P) or 19.3 cu.ft. / 546 L (Model LI20P).
