Cooled Incubator ST 500

The POL-EKO ST 500 is a high-capacity 500-liter cooled incubator designed for large-scale laboratory processes, including BOD determination, microbiological research, and long-term sample storage. Featuring a forced air convection system and a standard temperature range of +3?C to +40?C (expandable to +70?C with the Smart PRO controller), it provides a massive 469-liter working capacity in an upright, freestanding format. Equipped with a high-fidelity touch-screen controller and a lockable door, it offers a secure and reliable “Perfect Environment” for intensive industrial and research applications.

Description

The Cooled Incubator ST 500 is a professional-grade thermostatic solution engineered by POL-EKO to deliver uncompromising temperature stability for high-volume sample batches. With its 500-liter chamber capacity, this model is a premier choice for laboratories and facilities performing large-scale BOD5 tests, seedling germination, pharmaceutical stability studies, and the controlled storage of chemical reagents or vaccines.

Superior Climate Control The ST 500 utilizes a microprocessor-based PID controller and forced air convection to maintain a highly stable internal climate regardless of external ambient temperatures. While the standard Smart controller provides a range of +3?C to +40?C, the Smart PRO version extends performance up to +70?C. The unit includes an automatic defrosting function, an internal LED light, and comprehensive alarms for temperature sensor failure and open doors to ensure the integrity of your samples.

Advanced User Interface The ST 500 is available with two sophisticated control options to suit modern laboratory requirements:

Smart Controller: Features a 4.3-inch color touch screen, memory for 5 user programs, and USB/LAN ports for straightforward data transfer.

Smart PRO Controller: A premium 7-inch color touch screen with Wi-Fi connectivity, multi-user management (Admin, User, Super Admin), and 40 programmable segments for complex time-temperature simulation. Both controllers are designed for operation with gloves and feature a quick-status “Alarm Bar” for immediate visual monitoring.

Quality Construction and Safety Built for durability, the ST 500 is available with a stainless steel (DIN 1.4016) interior for Comfort models or acid-resistant stainless steel (DIN 1.4301) for Premium models. The unit comes standard with 3 stainless steel wire shelves (expandable up to 11) and can be customized with additional options like internal glass doors, a ?30 mm access port, and the FOT photoperiodic or FIT phytotron systems for light-controlled research. For maximum safety, the unit includes a physical door lock and over-temperature protection up to Class 3.3.
