Incubators

NE8S Digital Lab Incubators

Easy to use controls with a bold illuminated LED display, offering precise temperature control from ambient +5°C to 100°C with timer function. Ideal for microbiology.

These digital scientific incubators can run at set temperature immediately, use run back timer or enable a delay start feature. Can be configured for gravity convection or with variable fan speed providing forced air circulation within the chamber.

The chamber is constructed from high quality stainless steel with high efficiency thermal insulation, contained within an outer steel housing with anti-bacterial paint finish.

With energy efficiency in mind, particular attention is paid to robust design, insulation, a tight door closure with silicone seal and hinge design, to maintain chamber temperatures with intelligent temperature control.

Features and Benefits

Door Features

Door Configuration

Single insulated door, lockable with 2 point door engagement for an even seal. Double door on 400 and 750 litre incubators.

Door Alarm

Door open, heating interrupted, delay before door sounder chimes until door closed, heating resumes.

Safety Features

Switching on, the controls undergo an automatic diagnostic check.
Features a temperature sensor fail alarm with error reporting on LED screen.
Over temperature alarm is automatically set 5°C above set point.
Door open – heating is interrupted, after a short delay a door sounder chimes until door closed, heating resumes.
Fitted with Class 1 over temperature thermostat for overall unit protection.

Typical Applications

Clifton incubators are ideal for sample incubation at temperatures above ambient up to +100°C.

Incubation of samples for microbiological analysis
Analysis of thermal resistance of samples subjected to higher temperatures
Antibody testing
Bacteria testing
Crystallisation observations
Cultivation of thermophilic micro-organisms
Pharma stability tests
Food industry testing

Controls

Featuring bold illuminated LED display of measured temperatures in real-time, in increments of ±0.1°C with intuitive controls, utilising touch sensitive keypads. Indicators for heating, timer and alarm. Exhaust air flap is dial adjustable from 0 to 100% for chamber venting. Fan chamber convection variable from 0% to 100%. Fan convection improves temperature uniformity and heating recovery time. Door, lockable with 2 point door engagement for an even seal. The left hand side of the incubator features a 35mm diameter access port, with perforated flap cover, to reduce heat losses when used with external probes.

Notes

Before ordering please check the room or building access where this unit will be installed and electrical power requirements. Temperature fluctuation measurements are based on temperature readings on shelf in centre of the chamber. Incubators up to 112 litres are stackable. Do not place in direct sunlight or near a heat or cold source. Allow a 100mm air gap away from wall at rear.
Ensure there is a minimum 300mm air gap from top of the unit to ceiling.

2. The completed calibration record will be enclosed at the rear of the instruction book accompanying the Clifton unit carrying the following information:

Unique record number for traceability.
Serial number of the unit.
Instrument it was checked against.
Calibration temperature and actual sensitivity results.

3. The measurement of uncertainty ±0.8°C. Ambient temperature 21°C ±3°C.

Notes:

A. The calibration record provides a measurement of precision about set point with maximum and minimum sensitivity readings obtained. Precision is defined as “(1) The ability of a measurement to be consistently reproduced” and “(2) The number of significant digits to which a value has been reliably measured”.

B. The calibration record does not provide or assures any form of accuracy. Accuracy is defined as “the ability of a measurement to match the actual value of the quantity being measured”.
