LABORATORY BOD INCUBATOR: ABOUT, CARE & USES

 BOD (BIOCHEMICAL OXYGEN DEMAND) INCUBATOR:

The laboratory BOD incubator is a bacteriological equipment that allows the development of an infinity of experimental work, since with it microbiological and cell cultures can be maintained thanks to its ability to achieve the optimum temperature and humidity for this, as well as the level of oxygen.

 

The main function of the BOD incubator in the laboratory is to store and condition the environment, in order to adequately develop microorganisms, through temperature, pressure, and air circulation. This is equipment for chemical use, for the analysis of microbiology compounds, and the development of organic compounds.

 

These conditions that will be established will depend directly on the type of microorganism with which you are working, in order to store everything that contains chemical samples and finally carry out the analysis of medical relevance.

CARE AND BASIC USE OF THE BOD INCUBATOR:

Developing and maintaining microbiological and cell cultures is possible in laboratories thanks to BOD incubators, which not only control the temperature and humidity of the environment in which the samples are stored, but are also capable of controlling the oxygen present. The most common uses for these kits are experimental work in cell biology, microbiology, and molecular biology. Bacteria such as Escherichia coli, yeast, or human cells can be kept and grown in the BOD incubator. This is possible thanks to its temperature variation, which can range from -10 ° C to 60 ° C in some more advanced equipment. 

 

Other important uses for incubators are stem cell studies, incubation of antibodies in tissues, diagnosis of harmful pathogens such as bacteria and germs, as well as pharmaceutical and hematological investigations.

 

The basic operating modes of an incubator are generally natural convection, where the airflow is generated by a difference in temperature, and forced convection, in which external equipment such as a cooling fan or pump is used to create an air stream. The minimum care for this incubation equipment and which will make its useful life longer is to implement a current controller, to avoid unexpected cuts in the electrical supply, take care of the spillage of corrosive substances that damage the equipment, and always regulate the temperature to prevent overheating.

USES OF THE BOD INCUBATOR:

·       Tests of influence of environmental effects;

·       Incubation of flasks for the determination of BOD / BOD (biological/biochemical oxygen demand);

·         Incubation of samples in general;

·         Accelerated stability tests of short, medium, and long-term medicines and cosmetics;

·      Durability tests and premature aging in food (shelf life), plants, seeds, canned goods, packaging, etc.;

·         Preservation of medicines and samples in general;

·         Durability testing of integrated circuits and others in the electronics industry;

·         Culture of cells, tissue, bacteria/bacterial culture;

·         Premature aging of seeds;

·         Seed vigor tests;

·         Vernalization or refrigeration of seeds;

·         And other applications.
