Working Purpose
The Bacteriological Incubator KCX-251 is designed to provide a controlled heated chamber for suitable microbiological incubation and biological laboratory procedures.
The incubator can be used to maintain selected temperature conditions for appropriate bacterial cultures, prepared microbiological samples, and other compatible laboratory materials.
The heating elements positioned on three sides provide heat to the chamber, while the insulation helps reduce heat loss.
The PT-100 temperature sensor monitors the internal chamber temperature.
The adjustable shelves allow users to position suitable culture vessels and laboratory containers within the available chamber space.
The KCX-251 is intended for educational, research, microbiological, and laboratory testing applications requiring controlled heating conditions.
Working Principle
The KCX-251 operates using electrical heating and temperature feedback control.
Heating elements positioned on three sides of the chamber generate heat when activated by the temperature-control system.
The PT-100 sensor measures the chamber temperature and provides feedback to the controller.
The temperature-control system regulates heating to maintain the selected operating temperature.
The 75 mm glass wool insulation reduces heat transfer between the chamber and the external environment.
The perforated shelves support placement of suitable laboratory containers and allow space for air movement.
An optional circulating fan can provide additional forced-air circulation where required.
The exact standard temperature controller type is not specified in the supplied reference. A microprocessor PID controller with timer and alarm is listed as optional.
