Incubators are essential tools in laboratories for maintaining optimal conditions for various biological processes.
One of the most critical functions of an incubator is temperature control.
Let's break down how lab incubators manage this crucial task.
How do incubators control temperature? 4 Key Components Explained
1. Heating Elements
Heating elements are the primary source of heat inside the incubator chamber.
They ensure that the temperature can be raised to the desired level.
2. Thermocouples
Thermocouples are temperature sensors that monitor the internal temperature of the chamber.
They send an electrical signal to the control panel, which interprets this signal to determine the current temperature.
3. Control Panel
The control panel 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.
4. Environmental Controls
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.
