How to choose a suitable incubator based on your own experiment? Let's briefly talk about the selection process.
First, determine the type of culture, whether it is plant growth culture or tissue culture, or seed germination test.
Secondly, determine the light intensity, especially the E series plant growth incubator. Different plants or crops have different requirements for light intensity. For example, tomatoes need higher light intensity, generally 450-700umol/m2/s, while wheat The light intensity requirement is moderate, generally 250-450umol/m2/s. Therefore, the highest light intensity requirement for cultivating plant materials is determined. In addition, Q22 or Q23 continuous light intensity control can be selected to meet the demand for light intensity in different growth periods.
Third, determine the volume of the box and the number of partitions, and select boxes of different sizes and numbers of partitions according to the amount of experimental materials, the maximum growth height of plants, and whether comparison tests are needed.
Fourth, determine the humidity control. The water pan type is to add a water pan at the bottom of the box to heat the water to generate water vapor, thereby increasing the humidity in the box. Therefore, it is not easy to achieve in low-temperature incubators and large boxes; ultrasonic humidification adopts high-frequency oscillation and atomization The high-frequency resonance of the film throws water away from the water surface to produce natural water mist. The quality of the water mist is high and can reach high humidity, which is suitable for most cabinets.
Finally, determine the special requirements, such as whether door locks, doors with observation windows, glass doors are required, CO2 control, and control range, etc.
