Bacteriology — plate culture and identification incubations at 30-37°C
over-temp alarm for overnight runs
Heated-only constant temperature incubators for routine culture
Electric Thermostatic Incubators
Most incubator work is simple: hold one temperature above ambient, hold it exactly, and do it every day without ceremony. A plate of E. coli at 37°C, a batch of yeast at 30°C, seed viability checks, general biological culture — none of it needs refrigeration, CO₂ or humidity. It needs a reliable heated box with a digital controller and an alarm. WSHLab DHP electric thermostatic incubators are that machine, built the WSHLab way: a microcomputer digital controller with 0.1°C resolution and over-temperature protection, a double-layer tempered glass window so the load is visible without opening the door, and a corrosion-resistant interior in stainless or galvanised steel with rounded corners and adjustable shelves. Six chamber sizes run from a 50L benchtop to a 500L floor-standing cabinet. If a protocol needs sub-ambient temperatures — BOD5 at 20°C, mould enumeration — step up to the SPX refrigerated incubator. For everything above room temperature, this is the workhorse.

PERFORMANCE & SELECTION
What is an electric thermostatic incubator?
A thermostatic incubator — a constant temperature incubator or heating incubator — controls exactly one variable: temperature, above ambient, held constant. The DHP covers RT+5~65°C with a microcomputer digital controller: set the setpoint, set the timer, and the chamber holds it with 0.1°C resolution and an independent over-temperature alarm. No refrigeration circuit, no gas, no humidifier — one job, done reliably.
- RT+5~65°C constant temperature, 0.1°C resolution
- Microcomputer digital controller with timer and over-temp alarm
- Heated only — simpler, cheaper to run, less to maintain
- Double-layer tempered glass observation window
- Stainless or galvanised interior with rounded corners and adjustable shelves
CONFIGURATION & COMPATIBILITY
Heated-only design: what you gain by not refrigerating
A refrigerated incubator spends energy and maintenance on a compressor you may never use. A heated-only design deletes all of it: no compressor to fail, no condensation management, lower purchase price and lower running cost. The trade-off is the floor setpoint — RT+5°C, meaning about 30°C in a 25°C room — which is exactly where routine bacteriology lives anyway. For 35–37°C plate culture, heated-only is not a compromise; it is the right machine.
- No compressor: lower cost, lower maintenance, fewer failure modes
- RT+5°C floor suits routine bacteriology setpoints (30-37°C)
- Faster warm-up and stable hold at culture temperatures
- Ideal as a second incubator for dedicated-temperature workloads

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Electric Thermostatic Incubators: frequently asked questions
The questions buyers ask most often when specifying Electric Thermostatic Incubators, answered by our technical team.
Does the DHP have refrigeration?
No — it is heated only, covering RT+5~65°C. For setpoints at or below ambient (BOD5 at 20°C, mould enumeration), choose the SPX refrigerated biochemistry incubator.
What temperature range does it cover?
RT+5~65°C with 0.1°C resolution — in practice 30°C to 65°C setpoints in a typical 20-25°C laboratory, with ±0.5°C fluctuation and an over-temperature alarm.
What sizes are available?
50L, 80L, 160L, 250L, 350L and 500L — benchtop at the small end, floor-standing from 250L, all with the same controller and window.
Is the interior stainless or galvanized?
Both options are available across the range. Stainless steel suits wet and corrosion-prone work; galvanised steel keeps the cost down for routine dry loads.
Is it a digital incubator?
Yes — microcomputer digital control with LED display, timer, self-tuning and an independent over-temperature alarm. Simple to hand to a rotating roster of users.
