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

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

The IB4-15S is a high-performance forced convection incubator designed for laboratories that require precision, safety, and ease of use. By utilizing forced air circulation, it ensures rapid temperature recovery and exceptional uniformity, making it ideal for sensitive microbiological cultures, pharmaceutical stability testing, and food quality control.

Key Features & Benefits

Precision Temperature Control

• High Uniformity: Achieves a temperature variation of within ±0.35℃ at 37℃, ensuring consistent conditions for every sample regardless of shelf placement.
• Rapid Recovery: Features a quick 3-minute recovery time after door openings and heats to 37℃ in just 7 minutes.
• 3-Point Calibration: Ensures accuracy across a wide temperature range (Ambient +5℃ to 80℃).

Intuitive Operation & Connectivity

• Smart Interface: Equipped with a 3.5-inch TFT Color LCD touch controller for easy parameter adjustments and "Wait on/Wait off" timer functions.
• Data Management: Built-in USB-B port and optional RS-232 support. Compatible with LC DataKeeper (21 CFR Part 11 compliant) for GMP-regulated environments.
• Remote Monitoring: Optional LC GreenBox allows for mobile monitoring and control, while BMS integration provides real-time alerts for facility management.

Advanced Safety & Reliability

• Dual Protection: Features an independent Over-Temperature Limiter and a patented overheating prevention system (Patent 10-0397583).
• Safety Standards: Compliant with IEC Class II and DIN 12880 Class 3.1 standards.
• Auto-Resume: Automatically restores operations if power returns within 30 seconds of a blackout, protecting long-term experiments.

Space-Saving & Ergonomic Design
