About B.O.D. Incubator
B.O.D. Incubator ETS-56A
B.O.D. (Bio-chemical Oxygen Demand) Incubator (Low Temp.) :
Double walled construction. Inner chamber made of anodized aluminium sheet/stainless steel with self supports for wide range of shelf spacing. Supplied with two/three removable perforated shelves. Clear inner door of acrylic sheet allows inspection of material without disturbing chamber temperature. Outer double walled door is provided with magnetic gasket, lock & key and door operated lamp illumination. The cabinet is mounted on castors.
Temperature is controlled by a micro processor digital temperature controller cum indicator from 5 C to 50 C 1 C. Inner air circulating system provided for uniform temperature in the whole chamber. A silent sealed compressor with protective devices along with fan cooled condensing coil are placed below the chamber for safe and efficient working.
Control panel provided at top of cabinet has three indicator lamps for mains, heating & cooling, voltmeter, temp. controller, cord-plug etc. and equipment is workable on 220 V AC 50 Hz single phase.
Note : Use of a suitable Voltage Stabilizer is essential.

FAQs of B.O.D. Incubator:
Q: How is the temperature controlled and monitored in the B.O.D. Incubator?
A: The incubator employs a digital PID controller to manage and precisely monitor the chamber temperature, ensuring stability within a range of 5C to 60C and an accuracy of 0.5C.
Q: What process does the clear acrylic inner door support during sample incubation?
A: The inner acrylic door allows you to inspect biological samples without opening the main door, preventing temperature fluctuations and maintaining an optimal incubation environment.
Q: Where can the B.O.D. Incubator be used effectively?
A: It is ideal for laboratories in microbiology, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and research sectors, particularly for sample incubation, B.O.D. determination, and controlled environment studies.
Q: When should the removable shelves be adjusted or added?
A: The perforated shelves should be configured based on experiment size and sample volume. Adjust them before loading the chamber to maximize usable space and airflow.
Q: What safety features protect both users and samples during operation?
A: Safety mechanisms include over-temperature protection, a circuit breaker, and a secure double-walled construction with a magnetic gasket, lock, and key, reducing risks during continuous operation.
Q: How does the mobility feature benefit laboratory workflow?
A: Mounted on castors, the incubator can be easily relocated within the lab, facilitating convenient access and flexible workspace arrangement for different experiments.
Q: What advantage does high-grade glass wool insulation provide?
A: The high-grade glass wool insulation efficiently retains chamber heat, minimizes energy loss, and maintains consistent internal temperature, ensuring reliable sample incubation and lower power consumption.
