  • General Incubators
    General laboratory incubators provide controlled temperature environments essential for growing cultures, conducting biochemical reactions, and storing sensitive samples. With uniform heating and precise temperature regulation, these incubators support a wide range of applications in microbiology, cell culture, and pharmaceutical testing.
  • Dry/Heater Blocks
    Dry block heaters, also known as heater blocks, offer accurate, consistent heating for tubes, vials, and microplates. Ideal for sample preparation, enzyme reactions, and DNA denaturation, these compact units provide rapid heat-up times and uniform thermal distribution, making them a staple in molecular biology and clinical labs.
  • Mini Incubators
    Mini incubators are space-saving solutions for laboratories with smaller workloads or limited bench space. Despite their compact size, they provide reliable temperature stability for incubating cultures, reagents, or slides, making them ideal for teaching labs, fieldwork, or individual experiments.
  • Cooling Incubators
    Cooling incubators deliver precise temperature control both above and below ambient, making them ideal for applications such as microbial testing, stability studies, and environmental simulations. Their ability to cool and heat ensures consistent performance in pharmaceutical, food, and environmental laboratories.
  • Constant Climate Cabinets
    Constant climate cabinets are designed to maintain tightly regulated temperature and humidity conditions for long-term stability testing, sample storage, and quality control. These units are crucial for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and chemical industries requiring precise, uninterrupted environmental control.
  • Dynamic Climate Chambers
    Dynamic climate chambers offer advanced environmental simulation by allowing programmable changes in temperature, humidity, and light. Ideal for testing material behavior, shelf life, and biological responses under varying conditions, they are used in research, quality assurance, and industrial testing.
  • CO2 Incubators
    CO2 incubators provide a stable, humidified environment with precise CO2 control, essential for growing and maintaining cell cultures. They support cell biology, tissue engineering, and IVF research by simulating physiological conditions that promote optimal cell growth and viability.
