Low Temperature Incubator Applications
The Right Size, Temperature, and Capacity for BOD and More.
Low Temperature Incubators (often called B.O.D Incubators) are commonly used for applications such as B.O.D. Determinations, Plant and Insect Studies, Fermentation Studies, and Bacterial Culturing among many others. The SHEL LAB Low Temperature Incubators have a temperature range of 20°C degrees below ambient to 45°C.
If your application requires light exposure you should consider the LI15 Diurnal Plant Growth Chamber. This unit comes equipped with four bulbs vertically mounted to the door of the incubator. (Have a special application? Contact Us) Two independent timers simulate day and night cycles by controlling the interior lighting. This chamber is ideal for plant growth studies.
Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) incubators enable end users to determine levels of organic matter and nitrogen in wastewater samples. This wastewater must be effectively measured for contaminates, treated and then released back into the environment without posing a threat to the water supply system. Recently, stricter enforcement by government regulatory agencies charged with monitoring air and water quality has forced a greater number of organizations to actively test and treat their wastewater. BOD incubators facilitate the storage of wastewater samples, and the SHEL LAB Low Temperature Incubators accommodate from 62 – 565 BOD bottles.
