Product details

Water incubator Penguin AQ

water-cloth

Replacement interior doors

accelerate the recovery of gas and temperature

Cultural stability

Water jacket and sealed chamber maintain humidity of more than 98% without pronounced condensation
The temperature is adjusted with an accuracy of ±0.1 °C throughout the range.
IR or T/C CO2 sensor to choose from; multigas versions of APM complemented by O2 galvanic sensor

Economical and convenient

Optional split interior doors accelerate gas and temperature recovery with minimal gas consumption
The frame of a glass stainless steel interior door improves thermal conductivity compared to a standard door
Compact housing - one of the smallest in the class of water incubators
