Precision Constant Temperature Incubator, 42 L
Research-grade laboratory product
Product Overview

Precision Constant Temperature Incubator, 42 L is a practical chamber for bacterial culture, fermentation, constant-temperature experiments and laboratory incubation tasks. It brings together 42 l of usable space, RT+5 to 100 C, so the chamber can keep samples in a steady, repeatable working condition.

The series features a cleanable chamber layout, adjustable shelf spacing, a top exhaust valve for moisture removal and a silicone sealing ring that helps with insulation and noise reduction. The cabinet uses a vertical frame cabinet with high-quality cold-rolled plate forming, a powder-coated exterior, a silicone sealing ring and a top exhaust vent, with an internal working room of 350 x 350 x 350 mm and an external footprint of 435 x 515 x 665 mm. That combination of chamber size, shell build and liner material makes the unit easier to place, clean and use in routine laboratory work.

The series uses natural convection and precise temperature control to keep the chamber stable for routine culture and thermal test work. The stated input power is 400 W, and the timer range is 0 to 9999 min. It is well suited to the day-to-day work listed above, including culture, incubation, climate simulation or illuminated growth tasks, depending on the family.

Performance Features
  • PID temperature control supports accurate setpoint management during routine incubation. This supports more stable setpoint tracking and quicker recovery after door openings.
  • Timing, over-temperature alarm, deviation correction and self-tuning improve operating safety and ease of use. This helps protect samples and alerts operators when abnormal conditions occur.
  • Natural convection provides stable temperature distribution for standard incubation tasks. This supports more reliable day-to-day chamber use.
  • Silicone sealing and a top exhaust vent help maintain insulation while releasing moisture. This supports more reliable day-to-day chamber use.
  • Powder-coated cold-rolled steel construction improves cabinet durability and appearance. This supports more reliable day-to-day chamber use.
  • The S and BS liner options support different cleaning and corrosion-resistance preferences. This supports more reliable day-to-day chamber use.
APPLICATION SCOPE: Suitable for bacterial culture, fermentation, constant-temperature experiments and laboratory incubation tasks in universities, laboratories, research institutes and quality-control environments that need controlled chamber performance.
HANDLING: Check the liner type, shelving and installation space before placing the unit. Keep the exhaust vent clear and avoid blocking the cabinet airflow path. Every unit is shipped with reinforced packaging for transport safety; keep the unit upright during unloading and positioning.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: The controller supports timing, over-temperature alarm, temperature-deviation correction and self-tuning functions. The optional accessories listed on this page are communication, printing, USB storage, alarm and gas-intake add-ons. Any quoted amount refers to the chamber body only and does not include freight. Freight should be confirmed separately according to the delivery destination.

The incubator operates via natural convection and requires unobstructed airflow and upright positioning during transport and installation. The PID controller provides over-temperature alarm, deviation correction, and self-tuning functions to ensure safe and accurate temperature regulation within the specified range.

  • Installation Clearance: Ensure the exhaust vent is clear and the cabinet airflow path is not blocked to maintain proper natural convection.
  • Transport Orientation: Keep the unit upright during unloading and positioning to prevent damage to the internal components.
  • Power Supply: Connect the incubator to an AC220V 50Hz power supply and verify the input power is 400 W.
  • Temperature Calibration: Use the deviation correction function to adjust the temperature setpoint if the displayed temperature deviates from the actual chamber temperature.
  • Over-Temperature Alarm: Configure the over-temperature alarm to alert operators when the chamber temperature exceeds the set limit, protecting samples and equipment.

How does the natural convection system affect temperature uniformity in the 42 L incubator compared to forced-air incubators?

The natural convection system provides stable temperature distribution for standard incubation tasks, with a temperature fluctuation of ±0.5°C. While forced-air incubators offer faster recovery after door openings, natural convection is gentler and suitable for routine bacterial culture, fermentation, and constant-temperature experiments where uniform airflow is not critical. The product description states that natural convection supports more reliable day-to-day chamber use.

Can this incubator be configured for CO2-dependent cell culture, and what options are required?

Yes, the incubator can be optionally equipped with a CO2 inlet and CO2 controller for controlled CO2 environments. However, the standard model is not a dedicated CO2 incubator; it is designed for bacterial culture, fermentation, and constant-temperature experiments. The optional accessories list explicitly includes CO2 inlet and CO2 controller as available add-ons.

What are the power supply and installation requirements for this 42 L incubator?

The incubator requires a power supply of AC220V 50Hz with an input power of 400 W. Its external dimensions are 435 x 515 x 665 mm, and it weighs 27 kg. During installation, ensure the top exhaust vent remains clear and the unit is kept upright during transport and positioning. The product description specifies these parameters and recommends checking the installation space before placing the unit.

The Atomfair AF-HN42S 42 L precision constant temperature incubator uses natural convection and a PID controller with self-tuning to maintain ±0.5 °C fluctuation from RT+5 to 100 °C, suitable for routine bacterial culture and fermentation. The galvanized cold-rolled steel liner and powder-coated exterior offer basic corrosion resistance, but the 400 W input and AC220V 50Hz power requirement limit deployment to facilities with compatible electrical infrastructure.

Positive

  • PID control with self-tuning: The smart digital PID controller includes timing, over-temperature alarm, deviation correction, and self-tuning, enabling stable setpoint management and faster recovery after door openings for routine incubation tasks.
  • Natural convection stability: Natural convection provides uniform temperature distribution for standard incubation without forced airflow, reducing sample desiccation risk and supporting reliable day-to-day culture work.

Trade-offs

  • AC220V 50Hz power requirement: The unit requires AC220V 50Hz power supply, which may necessitate a step-down transformer or frequency converter in regions with 110V or 60Hz mains, adding infrastructure cost and complexity.
  • Galvanized liner corrosion limits: The S version uses a galvanized iron liner, which offers less corrosion resistance than stainless steel; prolonged exposure to high humidity or aggressive cleaning agents may degrade the liner over time.
