Cooled Incubator ST 4

The POL-EKO ST 4 is a high-capacity 250-liter cooled incubator designed for demanding laboratory applications such as BOD determination, microbiological research, and stability testing. 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 generous 203-liter working capacity. Equipped with an intuitive color touch-screen controller and a robust interior, it offers a stable and secure “Perfect Environment” for large-scale sample incubation.

Description

The Cooled Incubator ST 4 is a professional-grade thermostatic solution engineered by POL-EKO to provide exceptional temperature stability regardless of ambient conditions. With its 250-liter chamber capacity, this model is a popular choice for laboratories requiring significant storage for BOD5 tests, seedling germination, and the controlled storage of chemical reagents or pharmaceuticals.

The unit utilizes a microprocessor-based PID controller and forced air convection with adjustable fan speeds to ensure high temperature uniformity and rapid recovery after door openings. While the standard Smart controller provides a range of +3?C to +40?C, the Smart PRO version extends this performance up to +70?C. The ST 4 also includes an automatic defrosting function and comprehensive alarms for temperature sensor failure and open doors to safeguard your research.

Depending on your workflow and data management needs, the ST 4 is available with two controller options:

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

Smart PRO Controller: Offers a larger 7-inch color touch screen, Wi-Fi connectivity, and advanced administrative functions including multi-level user access and 40-segment programming.Both interfaces are designed for operation with gloves and include an intuitive Alarm Bar for immediate visual status updates.

The ST 4 is built for long-term durability, featuring an interior made of stainless steel (DIN 1.4016) for Comfort models or acid-resistant stainless steel (DIN 1.4301) for Premium models. Standard equipment includes 4 stainless steel wire shelves (expandable to 6), a physical door lock, and a ?30 mm access port. For specialized light-sensitive research, the unit can be equipped with the FOT photoperiodic system for day and night simulation.
