Lab incubators control temperature through a combination of heating elements, thermocouples, and a control panel. The heating elements supply the heat source inside the chamber, ensuring that the temperature within the incubator can be raised to the desired level. The thermocouple, a temperature sensor, monitors the internal temperature of the chamber and sends an electrical signal to the control panel, which interprets this signal to determine the current temperature.
The control panel is equipped with a temperature control feature that allows users to set and manage the desired temperature for their specific application. This could range from 15°C above ambient temperature up to 70°C, depending on the requirements of the experiment or process. For example, mammalian cells operate best at 37°C, while bacteria growth can occur at temperatures up to 70°C. The control panel ensures that the incubator maintains the set temperature with great precision, creating a stable and hospitable environment for organic samples.
In addition to temperature control, lab incubators may also feature environmental controls for CO2 levels, O2 levels, and humidity. These factors can all impact cell growth, and the incubator's ability to control these elements contributes to optimal results. Some incubators may also include a shaking function for even distribution of nutrients.
Overall, lab incubators are designed to create and maintain ideal conditions for growth, with precise temperature control being a key feature in achieving this goal.
