Overview: The LIFLY Drosophila Specific Refrigerated
Incubator, developed by Sheldon Manufacturing, Inc., is designed specifically for Drosophila (fruit fly) culture. It operates within a temperature range optimal for Drosophila, avoiding issues common in standard Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) incubators.
Specifications:- Temperature Range: 18°C to 29°C
- Chamber Capacity: 20.3 cu.ft
- Interior Dimensions: 67.5 x 59 x 145 cm (27 x 23.5 x 57 in.)
- Exterior Dimensions: 80 x 80 x 192.5 cm (32 x 32 x 77 in.)
- Net Weight: 246 lbs
Energy Saving Features:- Condenser cycles prevent ice build-up, reducing the need for coil replacements.
- Compressor cycling uses less than 25% of the energy required by standard BOD incubators.
Functionality: The incubator's elements activate only when the temperature drops below the acceptable range. The compressor shuts off to conserve energy, allowing the temperature to rise naturally due to external factors like door openings or fan heat.
Temperature Control: The incubator maintains temperatures between 16-29ºC, with a set point at 18ºC. It features robust, programmable heating and cooling controls, and a microprocessor-controlled interior light to mimic diurnal cycles, enhancing breeding conditions.
