Okolab – Heating and Cooling Stage Top Incubator

Stage Top Incubator – Water Jacket Incubator

T range: from 10–15 °C below ambient (model dependent) up to 60 °C

Water Jacket IncubatorOkolab’s Water Jacket Incubating Chamber provides rock-solid incubation stability both above and below room temperature, thanks to the thermal properties of water.

Water is pumped from an external bath into the chamber’s base and lid. The actual sample temperature is monitored inside the chamber, using the provided fine gauge thermocouple. The temperature controller uses this thermal feedback from the sample to update the water bath’s set point, ensuring a specimen temperature accuracy of ± 0.1°C.

Features

Temperature Range: from 10–15 °C below ambient (model dependent) up to 60 °C
Stable Sample Temperature: ± 0.1 °C accuracy using Sample Feedback Mode

Chamber Feedback Mode Option: ± 0.3 °C when room temperature remains stable; no temperature probe required

Water Circulation: occurs in both base and lid to minimize gradients

Modular Inserts: magnetic inserts support petri dishes, chamber slides, and multi-well plates
Perfusion Ports: built-in tubing inlets/outlets for microfluidics and perfusion applications

The Water Jacket Incubator provides superior incubation stability above and below room temperature by circulating water inside the base and lid of the water jacket chamber. Feedback is provided by sample temperature or by chamber temperature. Selection is done via OKO-TOUCH.

Okolab offers two Temperature controllers, according to the temperature range of interest.

Humidity Module

Gas is humidified through a bubbling column immersed in the water bath, with a pre‑heating coil to prevent condensation and ensure thermal equilibrium before entering the incubation chamber.
