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.

- Dual beam, infrared sensor
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.
The CO2 level is constantly monitored using dual-beam infrared sensing technology. In the event of a drop in CO2, audible and visual alarms are triggered, notifying the user of the error.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.
