The SMI2 Microbiological Incubator from SHEL LAB is a compact, high-performance general-purpose laboratory incubator that delivers exceptional temperature uniformity and sample protection. Utilizing a microprocessor controller and a unique warm-air jacket design, the SMI2 provides precise, stable temperature control—matching the performance of much higher-priced, application-specific models.
Its triple-wall construction allows heated air to circulate evenly between the inner chamber and outer walls, ensuring consistent temperatures throughout the unit. Because this design eliminates the need for internal fans or blowers, samples are protected from cross-contamination and the drying effects of convection.
With five heating elements, including a heated outer door, the SMI2 maintains uniform temperature distribution—even with a fully loaded chamber. Compact, efficient, and durable, this incubator is ideal for microbiology labs, research facilities, and educational institutions.
