Biological Incubators

At Quirumed UK, we provide a specialised selection of biological incubators designed for clinical laboratories, sterilisation validation, and biological sample processing. These devices are essential for maintaining consistent temperatures required to incubate biological indicators and ensure the reliability of sterilisation processes.

What Is a Biological Incubator?

A biological incubator is used in medical and laboratory settings to preserve, incubate, or isolate samples that require controlled temperature environments. One of the most common applications is monitoring the effectiveness of autoclave cycles using biological indicators, providing reliable confirmation that sterilisation has been achieved.

Applications of Biological Incubators

• Autoclave control – incubate biological indicators to validate sterilisation efficiency
• Sample incubation – maintain a stable environment for microbiological cultures
• Quality control in sterilisation protocols – commonly used in hospitals, dental clinics, and cleanroom labs

Why Choose Our Biological Incubators?

• Compact and easy to operate
• Precise digital temperature control
• Optimised for biological indicators for autoclaves
• Reliable performance in clinical, dental, and laboratory settings
• Compatible with a wide range of sterilisation monitoring systems

FAQs – Biological Incubators

What temperature should a biological incubator be set to?

Most biological indicators require incubation at around 55–60°C. Always check the manufacturer’s instructions for specific requirements.

How does a biological incubator verify autoclave sterilisation?

Biological indicators are placed in the autoclave and then incubated. If no microbial growth is observed after incubation, the sterilisation cycle is confirmed as effective.

Can I use a biological incubator in a dental clinic?

Yes. Dental clinics use incubators to validate sterilisation of instruments with biological indicator strips, especially in practices that follow strict infection control protocols.

How long should I incubate biological indicators?

Most indicators require 24 to 48 hours. Some rapid-read indicators may deliver results in just a few hours. Always refer to product guidelines.

Do I need to calibrate my incubator?

Yes. Regular calibration ensures accurate temperature control. Use certified thermometers or verification tools as recommended.
