General Purpose Incubator With Window 97L Overview
The General Purpose Incubator With Window 97L (model IC403CW) from Yamato Scientific is a natural convection incubator offering 97 liters of chamber capacity across an operating range of ambient +5 to 80°C. LabSupplies.com, an authorized dealer, supplies this unit for routine culturing, drying, and sample conditioning. Its dual-door design lets technicians view contents through an observation window without opening the chamber and disturbing the internal atmosphere.
Stainless steel forms the interior, while a cold-rolled steel exterior carries a melamine resin baked finish for durability. Glass fiber insulation surrounds the chamber, and an air jacket distributes heat evenly to hold temperature distribution within ±1.0°C. A 0.3 kW iron-chrome wire heater drives the system, with a K-thermocouple sensor feeding PID control by microprocessor for ±0.5°C accuracy at 37°C.
Operators select between 115V (IC403CW) and 220V (IC413CW) versions to match site power. Yamato lists external dimensions (W × D × H) of 560 × 606 × 820 mm (22.0 × 23.9 × 32.3 in); packed for shipping it measures 36 × 36 × 43 in at 204 lb. Country of origin is listed as CH. Self-diagnostic functions, automatic overheat prevention, and a key lock are standard.
Key Features
- Dual-door observation window: a reinforced glass inner door with a 250 × 280 mm window lets contents be viewed without releasing chamber air.
- Natural convection with air jacket: even, efficient heat distribution holds temperature distribution to ±1.0°C across the 97 L chamber.
- PID microprocessor control: K-thermocouple sensing delivers ±0.5°C accuracy at 37°C, set through a digital display and timer.
- Operation functions: fixed temperature, auto start/stop, and quick auto stop support unattended and scheduled runs.
- Safety devices: self-diagnostic checks for sensor, display, and measured-temperature errors plus automatic overheat prevention and key lock.
- Voltage options: IC403CW runs on 115V and IC413CW runs on 220V to match laboratory power supply.
How to Choose the Right Incubator
Matching an incubator to your workflow comes down to capacity, temperature performance, and the power available at your bench. Use these axes to confirm the IC403CW fits your protocol before ordering.
- Capacity: the 97 L chamber and 450 × 480 × 450 mm interior set how many plates, flasks, or samples you can run per cycle.
- Temperature range: an ambient +5 to 80°C span covers standard 37°C culturing through warmer drying and conditioning tasks.
- Control type: PID microprocessor control with a K-thermocouple gives ±0.5°C accuracy at 37°C for protocols that demand tight stability.
- Voltage: choose IC403CW (115V) or IC413CW (220V) to match your facility's circuits and avoid converters.
- Footprint and weight: Yamato lists external dimensions (W × D × H) of 560 × 606 × 820 mm (22.0 × 23.9 × 32.3 in); packed for shipping it measures 36 × 36 × 43 in at 204 lb.
- Safety and monitoring: self-diagnostic functions, overheat prevention, and a key lock matter for unattended and shared-lab operation.
