The incubator can be divided into microbial incubator, light incubator, thermostatic incubator, mold incubator, etc. according to its characteristics.

The following describes the characteristics of various incubators

Microbial incubator can be divided into aerobic and anaerobic ones according to different types of microorganisms.

The light incubator is mainly used for plant culture.

The thermostatic incubator is divided into two types: the separated water-type electric thermostatic incubator and the electric thermostatic incubator. The former can still maintain a good temperature when the water jacket is powered off. Two temperature control methods are adopted, namely, the microcomputer intelligent thermostat and the bimetallic plate regulator. Temperature control range: room temperature is 5 ℃ - 60 ℃, and the temperature can only be stabilized above room temperature without refrigeration.

The mold incubator has dual cooling and heating temperature control. When the room temperature is higher than 30 ℃ in summer, it is necessary to cool and lower the temperature to ensure that the mold is suitable for growth. When the room temperature is lower than 10 ℃ in winter, it is necessary to heat and raise the temperature to ensure that the mold is suitable for growth. Therefore, mold incubator and thermostatic incubator with similar volume are more expensive.

Biochemical incubator is widely used for the cultivation and preservation of bacteria, molds, microorganisms, tissue cells, water quality analysis and BOD test, and is suitable for breeding experiments and plant cultivation. It is an important test equipment for scientific research institutions, colleges and universities, production units or department laboratories in biological, genetic engineering, medicine, health and epidemic prevention, environmental protection, agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry and other industries.

The main categories of incubators are the above. Each incubator has its own characteristics and performance, and needs to be used according to the specific environment.
