PR1MA™ Mini Digital Incubator

• Digital temperature control
• Personal sized, 13 x 14.5″ footprint (20 L)
• Accepts bottles and flasks up to 2 L
• Internal outlet, for installation of shaker, rockers, etc.

With digital temperature control, the PR1MA™ Digital Refrigerated Incubator provides a convenient “set and walk away” operation, eliminating the need for external thermometers and repetitive “fine-tuning” of an analog control knob. Simply choose the desired temperature and the incubator immediately begins to heat up while accurately monitoring the chamber temperature and conveniently displaying the temperature in real-time on the large LED control panel.

Despite a modest footprint of 14.5 x 13″, the incubator features a large internal chamber, capable of storing flasks and bottles up to 2 Liters. In addition, the incubator includes two adjustable shelves and an internal outlet for powering small shakers, rockers, and other instrumentation. A mini nutating rocker (H3D1020) supplied with both flat and dimpled mats is available for the agitation of samples during incubation.

At only 13 inches wide, the PR1MA™ Mini CO₂ Incubator is the smallest and most economical incubator for applications requiring CO₂ gas control. Its small footprint makes the incubator ideal for use inside of biological safety cabinets, isolating sensitive cultures, or for any laboratory simply trying to conserve bench space. With a thick layer of high-efficiency insulation surrounding the chamber, the incubator is also ideal for the transportation of cells. Once power has been disconnected, the incubator maintains temperature levels within 10% of the set parameter for up to 1 hour*. In addition, each model includes a 12 V vehicle power adapter for operating the instrument in a car, boat, etc.

Both temperature and CO₂ percentages are digitally adjustable and displayed in real-time on the large LED control panel. This panel also features a “Cal” function, for easy in-lab calibration of the temperature or CO₂. In addition, humidity (up to 80%) can be added to the chamber by inserting the included (stainless steel) humidity reservoir.

Despite its small size, the incubator features a relatively large 20 L chamber with the capacity for flasks and bottles up to 2 liters. Two removable, stainless-steel shelves are included. The shelves are perforated to improve airflow within the chamber.

* If disconnected from the CO₂ supply, CO₂ percentage decreases by approx. 1%/30 min.
