Description
Circa Late 1970's to Early 1980's (ESTIMATED)
A specialized temperature controller designed to convert a standard, manually defrosted refrigerator into a precision incubator for laboratory use.
Use Cases:
- Wastewater Treatment Labs: Most commonly used for the 5-day Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) test, which requires stable incubation of water samples at 20∘C.
- Microbiology & Environmental Research: Used in any sealed chamber requiring constant temperatures between 5∘C and 45∘C.
- Industrial Process Control: Utilized in chemical and refining industries for routine water quality analysis.
Historical Significance:
The Incutrol/2 represents an early era of automated laboratory stabilization, allowing smaller facilities to perform advanced regulatory testing (like BOD) without investing in expensive, dedicated incubator units.
