Frequently asked questions
Common questions about SURETHERM from 3G Electric.
What are the key specifications of SURETHERM CO2 incubators?
SURETHERM CO2 incubators are non-refrigerated units with forced air circulation and digital display. They operate at 115V AC and maintain temperature from ambient +5 °C with accuracy of ±0.1 °C and uniformity of ±0.4 °C. Available capacities include 1.36 cu ft and 1.59 cu ft. These incubators are designed for cell culture and microbiology applications where CO2 control and stable temperature are required. The forced air circulation helps ensure even temperature distribution throughout the chamber. The digital display allows for precise monitoring and adjustment of settings. Accessories such as shelves and stacking kits are available to customize the chamber for specific workflows.
What is the purpose of the SURETHERM stacking kit?
The SURETHERM stacking kit enables vertical stacking of compatible incubators to optimize laboratory floor space. For example, the H3550-45-SK is designed for 45L incubators, while the H3550-180-SK is for 180L units. These kits provide a stable configuration for multiple units, allowing labs to expand capacity without increasing footprint. The stacking kit is an accessory that must be matched to the incubator size. It is constructed to ensure safe and secure stacking, facilitating efficient use of vertical space in crowded labs. This is particularly useful in facilities where bench space is limited but additional incubation capacity is needed.
Are SURETHERM incubators refrigerated?
No, SURETHERM CO2 incubators are non-refrigerated. They operate at temperatures from ambient +5 °C upward, meaning they rely on the ambient temperature and can only heat above that. This makes them suitable for applications that do not require cooling below ambient. For temperature-sensitive work that needs sub-ambient conditions, a refrigerated incubator would be necessary. SURETHERM's non-refrigerated design simplifies operation and maintenance, as there is no refrigeration system to service. The forced air circulation ensures temperature uniformity across the chamber, which is critical for reproducible results in cell culture and microbiology.
What accessories are available for SURETHERM incubators?
SURETHERM offers accessories such as additional shelves and stacking kits. Shelves, like the H3550-45-SH and H3550-180-SH, provide extra surface area inside the incubator for organizing samples, culture dishes, or flasks. Stacking kits, such as H3550-45-SK and H3550-180-SK, allow vertical stacking of compatible incubators to save floor space. These accessories are designed specifically for SURETHERM incubators and are matched to the incubator size (e.g., 45L or 180L). They enable users to customize the chamber configuration and scale up capacity as needed. All accessories are branded by SURETHERM and carry manufacturer part numbers for easy identification.
What voltage do SURETHERM CO2 incubators require?
SURETHERM CO2 incubators operate at 115V AC. This is a common voltage for laboratory equipment in North America and other regions using 115V supply. It is important to verify that your facility's electrical supply matches this requirement. If your lab uses a different voltage, a step-up or step-down transformer may be needed. The incubators come with standard plugs for 115V outlets. Always consult the product manual for specific electrical requirements and ensure proper grounding. 3G Electric can provide details on voltage compatibility and any additional power considerations for your location.
