Domestic Production Takes Center Stage in the Sector: "Oven"

Looking at the general applications of incubators, we can see they are used in microbial sterilization, disinfection of surgical instruments, experimental microbial production, and disinfection of various materials such as fabrics, fur, and rubber. They are used in virtually every laboratory as an essential tool. Incubators, also referred to as Hot Chamber units, are laboratory ovens used in various sectors for microbial cultivation, sterilization, heating, baking, moisture removal, or drying at specific temperatures. Available in different capacities, they consist of double sheet metal with a hermetically sealed structure that allows ambient temperature adjustment between +5°C and 250°C using a digital thermostat. Incubator products marketed under the Nükleon brand are manufactured according to standards, like other test equipment.

Incubators in Plant and Glass Experiments

In addition to microbiology laboratories, incubators are also highly reliable for sterilization in plant-related laboratories when seeding onto glass petri dishes to prevent contamination. In short, incubators are the most important equipment for sterilization and incubation.

Drying Oven 'Incubator' general technical specifications are as follows:

• Door and cabinet insulation gaskets are manufactured from high-temperature resistant silicone. • Air circulation system ensures uniform temperature inside the cabinet. • Ambient temperature can be adjusted between +5°C and 200°C to the desired temperature value with ±1°C precision. • Precise heat control is provided through a microprocessor-based thermostat. • Nükleon proprietary software and touchscreen control panel are offered as a unique option in Turkey. • Cabinet interior is manufactured from stainless steel or anodized aluminum. • Cabinet interior chamber has an ergonomic and easily cleanable design. • High heat insulation provides economy in operating costs. • External housing is resistant to corrosion with electrostatic powder coating. Like many control test equipment, optional additions can be made to this product as well.

Nükleon Incubators can be manufactured according to customer needs and requirements:

• Large-capacity custom cabinets, • Additional shelf or suspension options, • Mechanisms for hot chamber experiments, • Heat chambers for tensile compression test equipment, • Ambient temperature to 300-350-400-450°C with precise heat control, large-capacity, glass-windowed models, • Special manufacturing at 250-300°C temperature in certain models,

Working Principles of Nükleon Brand Incubators

• Surgical instruments and textile materials are sterilized at 170–180°C for 45-60 minutes. • Rubber and plastic materials are sterilized at 121°C for 45-60 minutes. • After sterilization is complete, materials are removed by opening the chamber lid.

Some Nükleon Laboratory Incubators:

• Incubator (NST Series). • Vacuum Incubator (NVE Series). • Shaking Incubator (NCVE Series) • Large-Capacity Incubator (NBE Series)

Caution When Using Laboratory Equipment!

Considering that the experiments conducted are of vital importance, attention must be paid to the experiments and the environment. At Nükleon, we manufacture our equipment in compliance with all conditions and general rules, taking into account regulations and conformity standards. In this respect, the use of equipment in general requires extreme care.

A label indicating what is on the material being used should be affixed and the material should be stored in proper order.

• Equipment such as incubators and ovens should not be used with plastic gloves. They should be handled with tongs at high temperatures. • When heating liquid substances inside tubes, the tube should be continuously agitated to prevent possible splashing. • Materials that have been washed with solvents carry an explosion risk and should not be placed in the incubator for drying. • When connecting electrical equipment, ensure that hands are dry. • Dirty and cracked glassware should not be used. • Glass materials should be rinsed with distilled water after use. • Laboratory equipment should not be used without knowledge of how to operate it. • Chemical waste should not be poured into sinks or other places; the laboratory supervisor's instructions must be followed.   Metin Çayır General Manager Nükleon Laboratuvar Cihazları
