So-Low | General Purpose Laboratory Incubators | High-Precision Microbiological Incubators with Uniform Temperature Control & Advanced Data Logging
Alto Med Supply offers the So-Low General Purpose Laboratory Incubators, a premium line of microbiological incubators designed for clinical, research, and analytical laboratories.
Available in capacities from a compact 2-cubic-foot benchtop model to a spacious 39-cubic-foot upright unit, these incubators provide precise, stable temperature control for sensitive applications, including bacterial culturing, hematological studies, and pharmaceutical stability testing.
Featuring advanced triple-wall, air-jacketed construction, they maintain exceptional temperature uniformity, within ±0.35°C at 37°C, without internal blowers, ensuring a gentle convection environment that minimizes sample desiccation and cross-contamination.
Each incubator is equipped with a 7-inch capacitive touchscreen for intuitive monitoring, real-time graphing, and comprehensive data logging with up to five years of storage.
Data can be easily exported via USB to support strict laboratory documentation and compliance standards.
Built for durability, the interior is corrosion-resistant stainless steel, while safety features include independent over-temperature protection and heated outer doors to prevent condensation.
Whether used in high-throughput diagnostic labs or specialized research facilities, So-Low laboratory incubators deliver reliable, high-precision thermal control to protect delicate cultures and support long-term experimental success.
