Electric Incubator
Electric Incubator is a precision-controlled laboratory device designed to provide a stable and uniform environment for the incubation of biological samples, cultures, and experimental materials. It operates by maintaining a constant temperature and humidity level through electric heating elements, fans for air circulation, and advanced thermostatic controls. Commonly constructed with insulated walls, a transparent viewing window, and adjustable shelves, electric incubators are essential in microbiology, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and agricultural laboratories. They facilitate optimal growth conditions for microorganisms, cell cultures, and eggs, enabling research, diagnostic, and production processes. The device’s reliability, accuracy, and ease of use make it indispensable for maintaining controlled incubation parameters in various scientific and industrial applications.
