Laboratory Incubators

Yamato Scientific laboratory incubators hold cultures, samples, and tests at a stable temperature for microbiology, cell culture, BOD testing, and materials conditioning. LabSupplies.com is an authorized Yamato dealer offering the full range — general-purpose heating incubators (with and without observation windows), refrigerated incubators for sub-ambient work, and eco low-energy models. Every model ships from USA inventory.

Types of incubator

• General-purpose (heating) incubators — natural-convection units from ambient +5°C to 80°C for routine culture and warming (IC series, 37–567 L). Available with a reinforced-glass observation window so you can check cultures without opening the door and disturbing temperature.
• Refrigerated incubators — forced-convection units with compressor cooling for sub-ambient work down to -10°C, ideal for BOD, enzyme, and low-temperature incubation (IN series, 143–286 L).
• Eco refrigerated incubators — energy-saving non-CFC models with tight ±0.2°C accuracy for precise low-temperature work (INE series).

Key selection criteria

• Heating-only vs refrigerated — heating incubators run from ambient +5°C; refrigerated models reach down to -10°C for sub-ambient protocols.
• Observation window — a glass inner door lets you inspect cultures without a temperature excursion; preferred for cell and microbiology work.
• Capacity — 37 L benchtop to 567 L floor-standing; size to your plate or flask count.
• Accuracy — ±0.5°C (IC) to ±0.2°C (INE) for demanding protocols.
• Add-ons — shaker integration and power hook-ups for combined incubate-and-shake workflows (IN-W models).
