Gist-Brocades ICS-11 Dry Block Incubator for Antibiotic Detection in Food

The Gist-Brocades ICS-11 is a precision dry block incubator specifically designed for rapid detection of antibiotics and sulfonamides in food matrices, including meat, fish, eggs, and honey. It operates at a fixed temperature of 64°C with a maximum resolution of ±1°C, ensuring reliable incubation conditions essential for molecular diagnostics and food safety testing protocols.

Key features include:

• Temperature range of the housing: 10°C to 70°C
• Activation time: 5 to 10 minutes for rapid sample processing
• Automatic shut-off: About 15 minutes post-incubation for energy efficiency and operational safety
• Designed explicitly for incubating PremiTest ampoules, widely used in bioprocessing workflows and molecular cloning quality control
• Power supply: 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz, 13 W
• Compact and lightweight design at 0.5 kg, facilitating bench space optimization in biotechnology and clinical laboratories

This incubator is essential in biotechnology research and clinical diagnostics workflows, supporting antimicrobial residue screening that is critical in biopharmaceutical production pipelines and food safety quality assurance. The ICS-11 combines robust construction with precise temperature control, making it a vital instrument for researchers engaged in biosafety monitoring and molecular biology applications.
