General Purpose Incubator With Window 318L Overview
The General Purpose Incubator With Window 318L (model IC803CW) is a natural convection incubator from Yamato Scientific, supplied through LabSupplies.com as an authorized dealer. Built around a 318 L chamber, this unit holds an operating temperature range of ambient +5 to 80°C. A dual-door design with a reinforced glass observation window lets staff inspect contents without opening the chamber and disturbing the internal atmosphere.
Air-jacket heating distributes warmth evenly across the stainless steel interior. PID microprocessor control paired with a K-thermocouple sensor delivers ±0.5°C accuracy at 37°C and ±1.0°C distribution. Glass fiber insulation surrounds the chamber, while the cold-rolled steel exterior carries a melamine resin baked finish. Heat is produced by a 0.7 kW iron-chrome wire heater.
Model IC803CW runs on 115V, and the IC813CW variant covers 220V installations. Yamato lists external dimensions (W × D × H) of 710 × 656 × 1619 mm (28.0 × 25.8 × 63.7 in); packed for shipping it measures 32 × 30 × 73 in at 355 lb. Self-diagnostic functions, automatic overheat prevention, and a key lock support unattended operation. Country of origin is listed as CH per the manufacturer data.
Key Features
- Dual-door observation: a reinforced glass inner door with a 250 × 700 mm window allows viewing without releasing chamber heat.
- Air-jacket heating: natural convection through an air jacket distributes temperature evenly across the 318 L chamber.
- Digital control and timer: an easy-to-read digital display with auto start/stop and quick auto stop manages set temperature and run time.
- Temperature performance: PID microprocessor control with a K-thermocouple sensor maintains ±0.5°C accuracy at 37°C and ±1.0°C distribution.
- Safety suite: self-diagnostic functions for sensor, display, and measured-temperature errors, plus automatic overheat prevention and a key lock.
- Voltage options: IC803CW supports 115V circuits; IC813CW supports 220V circuits.
How to Choose the Right Incubator
Matching an incubator to a lab workflow comes down to chamber size, thermal performance, and the electrical and physical constraints of the install site. Use these criteria to confirm fit before ordering.
- Capacity: the 318 L chamber suits sample batches and labware that need vertical and shelf space; confirm your throughput against the 600 × 530 × 1000 mm interior.
- Temperature range: an ambient +5 to 80°C window covers common 37°C culture and elevated-temperature drying or conditioning tasks.
- Control type: PID microprocessor control with K-thermocouple sensing favors applications needing tight, repeatable setpoints over simple thermostatic units.
- Voltage: select IC803CW for 115V service or IC813CW for 220V service to match available site power.
- Footprint: Yamato lists external dimensions (W × D × H) of 710 × 656 × 1619 mm (28.0 × 25.8 × 63.7 in); packed for shipping it measures 32 × 30 × 73 in at 355 lb.
- Safety: automatic overheat prevention, self-diagnostics, and a key lock matter for unattended overnight runs and shared-lab access control.
