What Is a Laboratory Incubator — And Why It Matters More Than Ever
A laboratory incubator is far from just a heated box. It’s your lab’s secret weapon for nurturing microbial and cell cultures. From precise temperature and humidity control to the ability to regulate gas composition and cycling conditions, incubators create the ideal environment for your most sensitive experiments.
Whether you’re growing bacteria, culturing cells, conducting biochemical assays, supporting pharmaceutical research, or performing food safety testing, a temperature-controlled incubator offers a sterile and reliable environment that’s absolutely critical for reproducibility and sample integrity.

Lab Incubator vs. Oven
Think an oven can stand in for an incubator? Think again. Ovens operate at soaring temperatures (typically 100 °C up to 300 °C) while incubators tend to operate between 15 °C and 40 °C. Using an oven instead risks overheating and ruining delicate cultures.
