VWR Forced Air Incubator, Cat. #: 89511-428
The VWR Forced Air Incubator, Cat. #: 89511-428 features a unique state-of-the-art design that delivers a true fan-circulated convection while offering improved temperature uniformity for a wide range of general-purpose incubation applications. The forced air mechanical convection design enables fast drying through the use of a blower that circulates heated air in a horizontal airflow pattern. This incubator is extremely versatile, offering a wide temperature range from Ambient +5C to 75C with a uniformity of ± 0.4C at 3°C. A standard access port is also featured for monitoring and/or the use of electrical equipment inside of the unit. An internal glass door also allows viewing of samples without disruption. This Cat. #: 89511-428 model features a chamber volume of 6.3 cu. ft. (178.4L).
This forced air incubator features PID control that is easy to use, and has a large display for optimal feedback to the operator. The integrated timer function allows users to turn the incubator on and off at a desired time. An overtemperature alarm and a dual sensor safety concept are also integrated to provide peace of mind. For data monitoring, the unit can be connected via a standard RS-232 interface to a computer. Cleaning is also simple due to the stainless steel interior with smooth, rounded corners.
All of our equipment is fully tested to perform at factory specifications before being shipped.
The VWR Forced Air Incubator, Cat. #: 89511-428 includes:
- > 2 Shelves
- > Calibration and Preventative Maintenance Report
- > Power Cord
- > Operator's Manual
- > Full 180 Day Parts and Labor Warranty

|
- Inspect the display for any dim, flickering, or dead pixels, replacing any affected areas to maintain full readability and operational clarity
- Thoroughly examine external regulators for any signs of damage, wear, or malfunction (if applicable), replacing any compromised parts
- Inspect temperature, CO₂, and H₂O sensors (if applicable), ensuring each sensor is functioning correctly and accurately reporting conditions
- Conduct a detailed inspection of all internal wiring for frays, tears, or breakages; replace any compromised wires to ensure safe and reliable connections
- Verify that software settings align with the internal components and calibration specifications, adjusting configurations as needed for accurate operation
- Inspect and clean the fan, ensuring it is free from dust or obstructions; replace if performance is below required standards
- Examine wheels and leveling mounts for structural integrity, ensuring proper balance and stability for safe operation
- Inspect door gaskets and latches for any signs of wear or damage, replacing if necessary to maintain a secure seal and optimal environmental control
- Calibrate temperature accuracy at 37°C using a NIST-traceable probe, confirming it meets required tolerances
- Calibrate CO₂ level to 5% using a Fyrite combustion test kit (if applicable), ensuring precise atmospheric conditions
- Monitor temperature and CO₂ stability over a 24-hour period, verifying consistent operation within specified ranges
- Conduct a thorough cosmetic inspection to confirm all external surfaces and components meet quality standards, free from visible damage or wear
