Also known as the Boekel Microplate Incubator, this incubator is designed with the heating element located behind the back panel to reduce the risk of baking samples placed on the incubator bottom. Uses of this product include incubation of microplates, culture kits, petri dishes and test tubes. The operating temperature can be adjusted from ambient plus 5˚C to 42˚C. The incubator has a smoked acrylic door and a flat plastic Digitemp strip attached to the interior floor for temperature indication.

The Heat Indicator is on continuously while the incubator is heating up. As the required temperature is approached, it starts to flash. When the unit is controlling at the set temperature, the heater lamp flashes intermittently. The Temperature Indicating Strip shows the chamber temperature in degrees Celsius. The Temperature Adjusting Screw is used to adjust the chamber temperature.

The incubator has been preset to operate at 37°C. To adjust the temperature of the incubator, locate the temperature adjusting screw on the back of the unit. Turn the screw clockwise (as viewed from the back) to increase the temperature and counterclockwise 5 to decrease the temperature. Allow at least 15 minutes for the temperature to equilibrate after making an adjustment.
