Accucold ABOD15 15 Cu.Ft. BOD Refrigerated/Heated Incubator with Digital Temperature Control

The Accucold ABOD15 is a specialized 15 cubic foot BOD refrigerated and heated incubator designed for precise temperature control of water samples in environmental laboratories, water treatment facilities, and biotechnology research. It offers an adjustable temperature range from 4ºC to 60ºC (39.2 to 140ºF), making it critical for molecular diagnostics, bioprocessing, and environmental sample incubation.

Key technical features include:

• Microprocessor-based temperature controller with external placement to minimize door openings and maintain thermal stability.
• Buffered temperature probe in a glycol-filled bottle simulates stored product temperature; an additional sensor monitors air temperature to ensure uniformity.
• Digital LED display shows current and min/max temperatures with a precision of ±0.1ºC, selectable in Celsius or Fahrenheit.
• Audible and visual alarms for temperature excursions, door ajar detection, power failure, and sensor faults, with remote alarm contacts for integration into external monitoring systems.
• 1/2" side access probe port facilitates connection to supplementary monitoring equipment.
• Automatic adjustable cycle defrost minimizes temperature spikes and ice accumulation, enhancing incubation stability for biotechnology workflows.
• Interior capacity holds up to 240 300ml incubator glass bottles, supported by seven adjustable plastic-coated wire shelves configurable at ½" increments, suitable for diverse laboratory bottle sizes.
• Durable white powder-coated metal interior improves thermal retention and resists corrosion during extended use.
• Energy-efficient LED interior lighting with independent on/off control reduces photo-degradation risk during incubation.
• User-reversible door with right-hand swing and self-closing functionality ensures ergonomic installation flexibility, further supported by a magnetic gasket for secure thermal sealing.
• Factory-installed antimicrobial handle coated with silver ions reduces microbial contamination risks, particularly relevant in biotechnology and clinical diagnostics facilities.
• Environmentally conscious hydrocarbon refrigerant (R600a) complies with CARB standards, offering energy-efficient operation while eliminating ozone-depleting chemicals.
• Safety features include a hospital-grade power cord with a green dot plug, password-protected control panel to prevent unauthorized settings changes, and factory-installed keyed lock with two keys for sample security.
• Supports integration with automated medication and sample dispensing systems such as Pyxis®, Omnicell®, and AcuDose RX®, enhancing workflow in biomedical engineering and molecular biology labs.
• Extended warranty coverage includes 2 years parts and labor plus 5 years compressor warranty.

The Accucold ABOD15 refrigerated incubator serves as an essential instrument in synthetic biology research, biomanufacturing pipelines, and biomedical applications that demand precise, stable temperature environments for sample incubation and preservation. Its robust design and advanced alarm systems support regulatory compliance and data integrity in molecular cloning workflows and environmental biotechnology studies.
