---|---|---|---|
Heats up to 65°CThis incubator can heat samples up to 65°C (149°F) while using only 46W at 110V. A temperature gradient is present inside the chamber: the temperature at the top shelf is higher than on the bottom shelf. Within each shelf, the temperature only fluctuates by 0.5°C. |
Cools down to 0°CIt is able to cool down ~23°C below ambient temperature, using only 54W at 110V. While technically able to be set to -18°C, at normal room temperature it will go down to -3°C. A temperature gradient is present between the top and the bottom, but within each shelf, the temperature fluctuates by only 0.5°C |
PortableAt only 9 lbs this incubator is easy to move around. A 12V DC car power cord allows the unit to heat or cool your samples on the go. |
Small footprintWith a small footprint of 8 in x 11 in x 12 in, this mini incubator will not take valuable space while having a 5L (6x6x10 in) chamber volume. |

We live in Florida where the house gets into the mid 80s when we are out and about.
All the units i found were for diabetics and did not have a thermostat range as high as 69F. This was a great find. Not only for the Tymlos, but for other expensive, long lasting medications that require "room temperature" of 77F and below. Very well made, light and keeps the temperature within 1 degree of the setting. Has a 12volt adapter and is insulated. Would fit in a suitcase. Very pleased
Which it does wonderfully. The accuracy of this is amazing. Thank you for making a great product.
I don't expect an unlimited lifespan on this product, but certainly at a minimum 2-3 years of lifespan. A few months is very unacceptable.
They become less effective in high heat or fluctuating temperatures. These work if their outside temperature is constant.
Glad for the purchase and price.
Both accurate wireless thermometers with memory and mercury thermometers.
I use this incubator for making kefir. I am using small jars on both shelfs. Difference in one or two degree of Fahrenheit is sufficient for this process.
Temperature spread on bottom shelf was between 71 to 72.4 degree Fahrenheit. Mostly influenced by room temperature. Temperature outside of this incubator was between 65 to 88 degree Fahrenheit.
Temperature spread on top shelf was between 73 to 73.6 degree Fahrenheit.
Slightly more than one degree of Fahrenheit spread during a month is very good and dependable result.
And yes there is difference between top and bottom shelf. But not dramatic difference.
Pretty good product.

The temperature stated on the front is just a guide, don’t think of it as Centigrade. Use a thermometer to get accurate readings in the chamber and keep a record for reference later.
Liked it so much, I bought the 25 L model as well.
