Precision Incubators

Model P3
The Precision Incubator range combine traditional styling with modern controls for advanced temperature control.
Construction
All precision incubators have stainless steel chambers, adjustable aluminium shelves and a toughened inner glass viewing door(s). The outer cabinet is rust-resistant and finished in powder coated paint. Two 12mm access ports are provided so that cables for shakers or monitoring probes can be passed into the incubator.
Heating
The heating system has a profiled element to eliminate 'hot-spots'. Polyurethane insulation is foamed in-situ to help ensure optimum temperature control. Operation of the incubator at or below room temperature can be achieved when the cooling coil is connected to a source of chilled water (e.g. self contained recirculating cooler unit).
Temperature Control
All models have gentle fan-assisted air circulation via full-width ducts to ensure optimum temperature stability throughout the chamber. When the incubator door is opened, the fan stops so that any heat loss is kept to a minimum.
The microprocessor PID temperature controller maintains the set temperature to within 0.1°C. The easy to use temperature controller shows both 'target' and 'actual' temperatures. Indicators show when the heater is active and if an over temperature condition exists. The independent over temperature safety cut out is easily set by the user.
Dual Temperature Cycling (Ref: DTC) between two preset temperatures is an optional extra on all models.
The entire range of LEEC precision incubators (regardless of age) can be cooled when connected to a self contained recirculating cooler unit.
