Description
Based on the official POL-EKO technical specifications, here are the descriptions for the Cooled Incubator (ST) ST 6.
Cooled Incubator (ST) ST 6
Short Description The POL-EKO ST 6 is a high-capacity 400-liter cooled incubator designed for large-scale laboratory applications, including BOD determination, stability testing, and vaccine 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 significant 324-liter working capacity in an upright format. Equipped with a high-fidelity color touch-screen controller and a lockable door, it offers a secure and reliable “Perfect Environment” for intensive research and diagnostic workflows.

Long Description The Cooled Incubator ST 6 is a professional-grade thermostatic solution engineered by POL-EKO to provide uncompromising temperature stability for large sample batches. With a 400-liter chamber capacity, this model is a workhorse for laboratories performing BOD5 tests, seedling germination, pharmaceutical stability testing, and the controlled storage of reagents. Its tall, narrow design optimizes floor space while providing significant vertical storage capacity.
Superior Climate Control The unit utilizes a microprocessor-based PID controller and forced air convection with an adjustable fan speed (50?100%) to maintain a highly stable internal climate. 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, making it suitable for specialized incubation. The ST 6 also includes an automatic defrosting function and comprehensive alarms for temperature sensor failure and open doors.

Advanced User Interface The ST 6 is available with two sophisticated control options:
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, and an alphanumeric keyboard for easy programming of up to 40 segments. Both controllers are designed for operation with gloves and feature a prominent Alarm Bar for immediate status awareness.

Built for Professional Use Constructed for long-term durability, the ST 6 features an interior made of stainless steel (DIN 1.4016) for Comfort models or acid-resistant stainless steel (DIN 1.4301) for Premium models. The unit comes standard with 4 stainless steel wire shelves (expandable to 10), a physical door lock, and a ?30 mm access port. For specialized light-sensitive research, it can be equipped with the FOT photoperiodic system for day and night simulation.
