Thermo Scientific Heratherm IGS180 Laboratory Incubator 180L Digital

Thermo Scientific 51028065 Heratherm General Protocol IGS180 Benchtop/Floor Laboratory Microbiological Incubator (180 L). A high-efficiency, microprocessor-controlled 180-liter laboratory incubator utilizing gentle gravity convection airflow to provide uniform, low-turbulence thermal environments for microbiological culturing, biological incubation, and sample heating without desiccation.

Used; excellent condition.

• MPN / Catalog Model: 51028065 (IGS180 / Heratherm General Protocol Series)
• Manufacturer & Line: Thermo Fisher Scientific / Thermo Scientific Heratherm Benchtop & Floor Incubators
• Chamber Volume & Capacity: 178 to 180 Liters (approx. 6.3–6.4 cu. ft.) internal capacity, accommodating multiple shelf tiers for high-density sample staging
• Airflow & Convection Technology: Gravity convection (natural air circulation); eliminates high-velocity mechanical air currents, minimizing sample drying, plate desiccation, and airborne cross-contamination of open microplates or petri dishes
• Temperature Range & Performance:
  • Operating Range: Ambient +5°C up to 75°C
  • Spatial Uniformity: ±0.6°C (at 37°C)
  • Temperature Stability / Fluctuations: ±0.2°C (at 37°C)
• Control Interface & Display: Intuitive digital microprocessor controller with a large, bright vacuum fluorescent / LED display; features push-button temperature adjustments, integrated on/off timer, and independent over-temperature safety cutoffs
• Interior Construction & Cleanability: Corrosion-resistant stainless steel (AISI 430) interior chamber with smooth rounded, electro-polished corners to eliminate dirt traps and facilitate thorough disinfection
• Door Engineering & Heat Preservation: Solid insulated exterior door with an internal tempered glass door, allowing full visual inspection of culture vessels without causing chamber temperature drops or disruption of the thermal gradient
• Shelving & Load Handling: Supplied with 2 perforated stainless steel shelves (expandable up to 19 shelf positions); maximum load capacity up to 25 kg (55 lbs) per individual shelf
• Access & Cable Port: Built-in standard rear silicone access port (approx. 42 mm diameter) for routing validation thermocouple cables, independent data logging sensors, or auxiliary power into the incubation cavity
• Electrical Specifications: 120 VAC, 60 Hz nominal line operation (approx. 300 W power consumption), supplied with a standard grounded NEMA 5-15P plug
• Primary Application: Bacterial and fungal microbiological incubation, coliform testing, paraffin embedding, cell culture warm-holding, biochemical assay development, microbiological QC, and food/beverage safety testing
