Our Quick Summary of General Purpose Laboratory Incubator Applications Including Bacteriology, Stability Testing, Food Processing QA/QC & More…
Whether you're growing bacteria as a classroom experiment or working at a state of the art pharmaceutical laboratory, General Purpose Incubators are a must for most all microbiology applications. Some common incubator application examples include; following the USDA Microbiology Guidebook procedures, and Salmonella within Food Processing Quality Control procedures, or conducting a crystallization study of certain proteins.
Incubator applications are diverse because of the number industries and protocols they are required for such as, biochemical studies, bacteriology, and hematological studies.
Three design features differentiate laboratory incubators: temperature range, the temperature uniformity, and the chamber size. Temperature uniformity in incubators is calculated by using a multi probe temperature reader, mapping the temperature of the chamber from top to bottom simultaneousy and then calculating the range as illustrated in this PDF.

Standard General Purpose Lab Incubators
These laboratory incubators range in size from 2 cu. ft. – 12 cu. ft. The SHEL LAB incubator line is heated from 5 sides and feature triple wall construction. This design eliminates the need for an internal convection fan, which is why these incubators won't dry your samples and are well suited for bacteriology studies.
Large Capacity Laboratory Incubators
The SHEL LAB RI28 and RI40 reach in, large capacity lab incubators are engineered for use with cell production roller bottle apparatuses. The Large Capacity Incubators also include four interior outlets allowing you to perform applications requiring magnetic stirrers and shakers.
