In microbiology incubators required for the incubation purpose. Incubators provide specific temperature which is required for the growth of the microorganisms. Bacteria require generally 2-3 days of incubation for growth and fungus require 5-7 days for growth. In microbiology two types of incubators are commonly used:
2. Bacteriological incubators

BOD incubators are used to provide low temperature in range of 20-25°C for the growth of fungus and bacteriological incubators are used to provide temperature range of 30-35°C for the growth of bacteria.The main difference between these two types of incubator is temperature. Bacteriological incubators works at ambient temperature and it contains only heating mechanism. In these bacteriological incubators, if set temperature is in range of 30-35°C then they can only maintain their set temperature if
surrounding environment temperature is below or in a range of 30-35°C. If surrounding temperature is higher then the
incubator set temperature then there would be rise in display temperature of incubator because of high temperature of surrounding air and that air is used for the circulation in the chamber. Bacteriological incubator has no cooling mechanism to lower the display temperature. But in
case of BOD incubators they also use same air from surrounding environment for circulation in the chamber but they have
heating as well as cooling mechanism and they work independent of
surrounding temperature. BOD incubators contains heating coils as we as
compressor for cooling process. If incubator set at temperature of 20-25°C and surrounding temperature is higher than
this set temperature then BOD incubator maintain the set temperature with the
help of cooling mechanism and if surrounding temperature is low
as compare to set temperature then heating would be generated with the
help of heating coils. BOD incubators are also called low temperature incubators. These BOD incubators could be used as bacteriological incubator by changing the
incubation set temperature requirements.
Thanks and have a nice day!

I appreciated your work very thanks china lab oven
ReplyDeletewhether we are using bacteriological purpose for BOD incubator? possible to set 37degree celsius!
ReplyDeletethanks
ReplyDeleteGreat comparison between BOD incubator and bacteriological incubator. I really like it. great Topic chosen by you sir.
ReplyDeleteNow we know technical aspect of both and get bod incubator for preparing chemicals by best bod incubator suppliers for laboratories and research works.

ReplyDeleteCan we use normal bacteriological incubators for BOD test if we can set it at 20 degree centigrade
ReplyDeleteYes, you can use if it fulfill the requirement of the test.
DeleteThanks
