IB4-15S Incubator, Forced Convection (IB4-S), 146/5.16 (L/cu ft), 230V

IB4-15S Incubator, Forced Convection (IB4-S), 146/5.16 (L/cu ft), 230V

The IB4-15S Forced Convection Incubator is an advanced solution for precise and reliable temperature-controlled environments in laboratory settings. With a spacious 146-liter (5.16 cu ft) chamber, this unit is engineered for optimal performance and user convenience.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Intuitive Touch Control: The user-friendly interface features a vibrant 3.5-inch color display, simplifying operation. It includes a versatile 'Wait on / Wait off' timer function for programmed heating cycles, allowing for unattended operation and improved workflow efficiency.
• Superior Temperature Performance:
  • Precision and Stability: Achieves exceptional temperature accuracy and stability (fluctuation of ±0.10℃ at 37℃) across a wide range, from ambient +5℃ to 80℃. A three-point calibration process ensures reliability for sensitive applications.
  • Uniform Heat Distribution: An airflow system optimized for forced convection guarantees uniform temperature distribution throughout the chamber (variation within ±0.35℃ at 37℃), eliminating hot spots and ensuring all samples are subjected to the same conditions.
  • Safety Alarms: Users can set upper and lower temperature limits, triggering audible and visual alerts for any deviations, enabling prompt corrective action to protect valuable samples.
• Advanced Data Management and Connectivity (Optional):
  • PC Control: An optional RS-232/USB port and dedicated software allow for easy operation, monitoring, and data logging directly from a PC.
  • Remote Monitoring: The LC GreenBox mobile monitoring system (option) enables you to check and control the incubator's status from anywhere, at any time, via your mobile device.
  • GMP Compliance: For facilities requiring stringent data integrity, the incubator can be integrated with the 21 CFR Part 11 compliant LC DataKeeper software, making it suitable for GMP audits.
• Uncompromised Safety and Reliability:
  • Overheating Prevention: A patented, multi-level overheating prevention system offers the highest level of sample and user protection.
  • International Standards: Compliant with DIN 12880 Class 3.1 and IEC Class II protection standards, this incubator meets rigorous international safety requirements.
  • Event Logging: The system automatically logs the last 12 events, including run times, stops, and errors, providing a clear audit trail for troubleshooting.
• Convenience-Driven Design:
  • Minimized Contamination & Drying: An optional water tray helps maintain humidity, delaying media from drying out during long incubation periods. An alarm activates if the door is left open, preventing temperature fluctuations and contamination risks.
  • Power Failure Protection: In the event of a power outage, the unit automatically resumes its previous operation once power is restored (if restored within 30 seconds).
  • Space Efficiency: The robust design allows two units to be safely stacked (with optional stacking kit), maximizing valuable lab space.
