Thermo Scientific Heratherm Refrigerated BOD Incubator with Peltier Cooling and Programmable Control

The Thermo Scientific Heratherm Refrigerated BOD Incubator is a high-capacity temperature-controlled incubator designed for reliable temperature regulation between +5°C and +70°C, featuring Peltier thermoelectric technology that eliminates the need for hazardous refrigerants. This laboratory incubator provides precise temperature stability of ±0.1°C and uniformity as low as ±0.3°C at 20°C, ensuring optimal environmental conditions essential for sensitive biotechnology applications such as molecular diagnostics, gene editing, and bioprocessing workflows.

Key technical features include:

• Capacity: 381 liters (13.5 cu.ft) suitable for large-scale incubations.
• Energy Efficiency: Consumes approximately 150 Wh/h at 20°C—up to six times less than comparable compressor-based units—supporting sustainability in biotech labs.
• Construction: Corrosion-resistant stainless steel interior with rounded corners for easy cleaning and contamination control in synthetic biology and molecular cloning.
• Air Circulation: Adaptive forced-air circulation ensures even temperature distribution crucial for cell culture, enzyme incubation, and BOD testing.
• Programmable Controls: Ability to set complex temperature profiles with ramping, soak/cool, and dwell steps, including storage of up to 10 programs with 10 steps each—vital for precise experimental protocols.
• Monitoring: Includes a 1.6-inch (42mm) observation port for insertion of sensors or peripheral instruments, enhancing integration with laboratory data acquisition systems.
• Safety: Features programmable over-temperature shut-off and alarms for deviations, maintaining sample integrity and compliance with quality assurance standards.

This refrigerated BOD incubator’s design and performance make it well suited and widely used in biotechnology research labs for biopharmaceutical production pipelines, fluorescence analysis, and live-cell incubation. Its temperature accuracy and programmable flexibility address demanding applications requiring stringent environmental control. The glass viewing door facilitates visual monitoring without disrupting internal conditions.

Ideal for research professionals and laboratory buyers in cell imaging, clinical diagnostics, and biomanufacturing sectors, the Thermo Heratherm supports critical workflows with reliable, energy-conscious engineering and proven durability.
