Intended use
VWR INCU-Line Tower is a general purpose convection incubator with two separate chambers, capable of
uniformly cooling and heating samples from 10 ºC below ambient up to a maximum of 50 ºC. The unit has
two transparent doors, so samples can be observed without opening the doors, thus preventing temperature
changes in the chambers.
