Lab Companion IL3-25 120V Low Temperature Incubator, 242 L

IL3-25 Incubator, Low Temp (Forced Convection), 242/8.5 (L/cu ft)

Introducing the IL3-25 Low Temperature Incubator, a pinnacle of precision and reliability for your laboratory needs. With a spacious 242L (8.5 cu ft) chamber, this forced convection incubator is engineered for performance, convenience, and safety.

Unmatched Performance and Stability

The IL3-25 operates across a wide temperature range, from 0°C to 80°C, making it suitable for a diverse array of applications, including biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) testing, cell culturing, and sample storage.

• Precise Temperature Control: At its core is a microprocessor PID controller that provides exceptional temperature accuracy and stability. Combined with a three-point calibration and automatic tuning function, you can trust your experiments are maintained in a consistent environment.
• Superior Uniformity: An optimal cross-flow fan powers the forced air convection system, ensuring outstanding temperature uniformity throughout the chamber. This eliminates hot or cold spots, guaranteeing that every sample is exposed to the same conditions.
• Silent & Efficient Cooling: The innovative silent cooling system is not only quiet but also highly efficient, effectively reducing water evaporation from samples and media, preserving the integrity of your long-term experiments.

Designed for User Convenience

Every feature of the IL3-25 is designed to streamline your workflow and enhance usability.

• Intuitive Interface: A bright, easy-to-read VFD display shows the temperature with a 0.1°C resolution. Programming is made simple with a user-friendly control knob and dual wait on/off timer modes (1 min. to 99 hr. 59 min.).
• Programmable Presets: Save time by storing your three most commonly used temperature settings in the convenient preset function for quick recall.
• Easy Monitoring: A tempered-glass inner door allows for convenient visual inspection of your samples without disturbing the internal chamber atmosphere, preventing temperature fluctuations.
• In-Chamber Power: A built-in electrical outlet with a safety cover provides power for small equipment like shakers or stirrers directly inside the chamber.
• Effortless Maintenance: The chamber is designed with rounded corners for easy cleaning and optimal airflow. A quick-release front grill allows for simple access to the condenser for routine cleaning.
• Advanced Connectivity: Stay connected with a built-in RS-232 port and USB port for external control and data collection. For ultimate peace of mind, connect the LC GreenBox (sold separately) to enable the LC Connected mobile monitoring system, allowing you to check on your incubator anytime, anywhere.

Comprehensive Safety Features

The IL3-25 is equipped with multiple safety systems to protect your valuable samples and your lab.

• Multi-Layered Temperature Protection: A triple independent temperature monitoring system includes alarms for high/low deviations, an electronic limiter, and a mechanical over-temperature limiter for ultimate sample protection.
• Operational Security: A keypad lock function prevents accidental changes to your settings, while audible and visible alarms alert you if the door is left open.
• Power Failure Protection: In the event of a power outage, the unit will automatically resume operation with the previous settings once power is restored. Over-current protection safeguards the instrument's electrical components.
