Caron 7001-33 Refrigerated Incubator / Temperature Chamber (33 cu ft / 934 L), 5–70°C, Optional 0°C

Quote

The Caron 7001-33 Refrigerated Incubator is a high-capacity 33 cu ft (934 L) refrigerated chamber designed for laboratories and industrial environments that need stable, repeatable low-temperature incubation and temperature testing. With a customizable operating range of 5°C to 70°C, the 7001-33 supports a broad mix of applications, from product and materials testing to controlled storage and conditioning—while delivering the workspace and shelving flexibility needed for larger sample loads.

For microbiology and growth-focused workflows, the 7001-33 is commonly used as a BOD incubator and for low-temperature growth of organisms such as eubacteria, cyanobacteria, yeasts, molds, and algae, as well as other cryophile organisms. An optional 0°C capability is available (with a defrost cycle for low-temperature operation), and the chamber’s published performance specifications—±0.1°C temperature control and ±0.3°C uniformity—help teams maintain consistent setpoints for repeatable results.

Description

Product Highlights

  • 33 cu ft refrigerated incubator for larger study loads: High-capacity 934 L workspace supports higher throughput incubation, conditioning, and temperature testing without crowding shelves.
  • Refrigerated temperature chamber for low-temperature incubation: Purpose-fit for applications that require stable cold operation and repeatable setpoints across long holds and multi-day runs.
  • Wide operating range for versatile workflows: 5°C to 70°C supports BOD incubations, low-temperature organism growth, sample conditioning, and general temperature cycling/holds.
  • Optional 0°C capability for colder protocols: Add low-end capability for applications that need near-freezing operation, with support for low-temp defrost cycling (useful for 0–4.5°C setpoints).
  • Tight temperature stability: Published performance includes ±0.1°C temperature control and ±0.3°C uniformity to reduce variability in growth studies and test outcomes.
  • BOD incubator use cases: Common fit for BOD testing and microbiology workflows, including growth of organisms such as bacteria, yeasts, molds, and algae where controlled temperature matters.
  • Scalable shelving for growth and conditioning studies: 5 shelves standard with expansion up to 31 maximum shelves to increase capacity as your program scales.
  • Lab-ready stainless interior: Type 304 stainless-steel interior supports durability, corrosion resistance, and cleaning routines in microbiology and QA/QC spaces.
  • Search-friendly category alignment: Ideal for teams searching “refrigerated incubator,” “BOD incubator,” “low temperature incubator,” “temperature chamber,” or “refrigerated temperature test chamber.”

Common Searches This Model Fits

  • Refrigerated incubator (33 cu ft): High-capacity refrigerated incubator cabinet for cold-to-warm incubation workflows.

  • Low temperature incubator: Refrigerated lab incubator for near-cold growth studies, stability holds, and conditioning steps.
  • Refrigerated temperature chamber: Temperature-controlled chamber for conditioning, environmental exposure (temperature-only), and product testing.
  • Temperature testing chamber: Programmable or setpoint-based temperature holds for QA/QC and R&D validation work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Caron 7001-33 a BOD incubator?

It can be used for BOD-style workflows where refrigerated, controlled temperature incubation is required. Many labs classify this type of refrigerated incubator as a BOD incubator because it supports stable low-temperature incubation conditions and extended holds.

What temperature range does the 7001-33 support?

The standard operating range is 5°C to 70°C. An optional configuration is available to extend operation down to 0°C for applications that require near-freezing conditions.

What is the advantage of a 33 cu ft refrigerated incubator?

A larger workspace increases throughput and improves organization for multi-shelf studies, allowing you to run more samples per batch while maintaining consistent incubation conditions.

Is this model a humidity chamber?

No—this model is a refrigerated incubator / temperature chamber. If your application requires controlled relative humidity, use a stability/environmental chamber designed for temperature and humidity control.

How do I choose between a refrigerated incubator and an environmental stability chamber?

Choose a refrigerated incubator when you need precise temperature control (including cold operation) for incubation or conditioning. Choose an environmental stability chamber when you need both temperature and controlled humidity for stability testing, shelf-life studies, or RH-dependent protocols.
