The constant temperature and humidity Incubator is a kind of equipment used in the biological laboratory to cultivate biological samples such as bacteria, fungi and cells.

Common problems and solutions of constant temperature and humidity Incubators with picture 1

Here are some common issues you may encounter and how to fix them:

common problem

  1. Inaccurate temperature or humidity readings.

  2. Unstable temperature or humidity.

  3. The device is heating or cooling unevenly.

  4. The device is leaking or the Water Tank is insufficient.

  5. An error occurred in program operation.

Solution

  1. Temperature or humidity calibration: Place the thermometer or hygrometer in the constant temperature and humidity Incubator, and set the constant temperature and humidity Incubator to a known temperature or humidity. After waiting a period of time, compare the thermometer or hygrometer reading with the temperature or humidity reading displayed by the Incubator. If there is a difference, a calibration adjustment is required. Calibration can be done by adjusting the temperature or humidity calibration parameters in the controller.

  2. Equipment uniformity calibration: Place several thermometers or hygrometers inside the constant temperature and humidity Incubator, and set the constant temperature and humidity Incubator to a known temperature or humidity. After waiting for a period of time, compare whether the readings of each metering point are consistent. If there is a difference, a uniformity calibration adjustment is required. This can be done by adjusting how and where the heating, cooling and fans work, and by adjusting the position of items inside the constant temperature and humidity Incubator.

  3. Equipment Water Tank capacity calibration: fill the Water Tank in the constant temperature and humidity Incubator with water, and record the water capacity. Then set the constant temperature and humidity Incubator to a certain temperature or humidity, after measuring for a period of time, pour out the Water Tank and record the remaining water capacity. Subtract the previously recorded water capacity from the remaining water capacity to obtain the amount of water used by the constant temperature and humidity Incubator at that temperature or humidity. If the amount of water used is inconsistent with the capacity in the specification, a Water Tank capacity calibration adjustment is required. It can be calibrated by adjusting the Water Tank capacity parameter in the controller.

North and South Chao reminds you: The constant temperature and humidity Incubator needs to be calibrated and maintained regularly. At the same time, it is necessary to regularly clean the interior of the equipment, check the performance and condition , and replace or repair problematic parts in time. In addition, it is recommended to carry out maintenance according to the operation manual of the equipment and the maintenance instructions provided by the manufacturer to ensure the long-term stable operation of the equipment.

Precautions

In the process of using a constant temperature and humidity Incubator, you also need to pay attention to the following points:

  1. Reasonably arrange the placement of samples to ensure that the samples can be subjected to uniform temperature and humidity distribution.

  2. Do not accumulate too many sundries or samples inside the constant temperature and humidity Incubator to avoid affecting the operation of the equipment and the accuracy of the data.

  3. According to actual needs, reasonably select the temperature or humidity range and accuracy of the constant temperature and humidity Incubator to avoid inaccurate test data due to mismatching equipment parameters.

  4. Before testing, it is best to preheat or precool the equipment to ensure that the equipment can reach the required temperature and humidity conditions.

  5. During the use of the equipment, the humidity and temperature changes and test data are recorded in time, and analyzed and processed as needed.

In short, the constant temperature and humidity Incubator is a commonly used biological experimental equipment, but it is necessary to pay attention to the use and maintenance of the equipment during use to ensure the stability of the equipment and the accuracy of the test data.
