Microbiological incubators from the APT.line™

BD 23

Microbiological incubator with natural convection

BD series incubators are specially designed for long-term and stable continuous operation. Ideal for gentle incubation of organisms, such as on agar plates, and also for conditioning of heat sensitive media.

1) up to 98 % of the set value

All technical data are specified for units with standard equipment at an ambient temperature of 25 °C and a voltage fluctuation of ±10 %. The temperature data are determinated in accordance to factory standard following DIN 12880 respecting the recommended wall clearances of 10 % of the height, width and depth of the inner chamber. All indications are average values, typical for units produced in series. We reserve the right to alter technical specifications at all times.

  • Waterproof interior power socket in the inner chamber

    Connected to the main switch. To connect ancillary equipment inside the chamber.

  • Additional PT 100 temperature sensor

    In situ or flexible installation for exact temperature measurement within the specimen material; connects to a special plug on the back wall of the inner chamber.

  • Acoustic alarm

    Activates in the event of excess temperature, with adjustable setpoint at the temperature controller. Acoustic alarm can be switched off.

  • Lockable door

    Prevents unauthorized access and interference with processes in the chamber.

  • Access ports

    With silicon plugs for inserting external measuring devices into the chamber. Access ports with 10, 30, 50 mm (0.4, 1.2, 2 inch) diameter.
