Frequently Asked Questions: Lab Incubators & Slide Prep Equipment
What is the difference between a lab incubator and a dry bath?
A lab incubator is a chamber designed for controlled temperature and humidity, perfect for growing cells, bacteria, or samples over a period of time. A dry bath incubator, also known as a heat block, uses heated blocks to warm tubes or vials at precise temperatures—great for quick protocols or small-scale sample preparation.
How do I choose the right slide warmer or tissue flotation bath?
Think about how many slides you process, what temperature range you need, and how easy you want cleanup to be. For high-volume labs, a large-capacity digital model is best. For occasional or smaller labs, a compact model may do the job. All of our products deliver stable temperature control and are built for chemical resistance and easy cleaning.
Are your incubators and baths compliant with laboratory safety standards?
Yes. All LW Scientific lab incubators, slide warmers, and tissue baths are made in the USA and meet or exceed typical laboratory safety and quality standards. We can provide certification documents if you need them for compliance.
What applications are your products best suited for?
Our incubators and slide prep equipment are ideal for microbiology, histology, cytology, IVF, research, and educational labs. They work well for tissue flotation, slide drying, bacterial culturing, and more.
