Feasibility Study Intelligent malaria vaccine incubator chamber with heat, humidity and CO2 control
Kuhner AG is the world leading developer and manufacturer of incubator shaking machines for the international market. The incubators are used in biomedical research, for the production of genetically modified cells for drugs, and for the production of complex proteins like antibodies, stem cells, va

The ISF1-Z Peltier incubator is one of the most innovative shaking laboratory incubator within the world market. The incubator controls the temperature using Peltier elements equipped with unique heatpipes. The heat transport is realized via a controlled air ventilation.
A feasibility study demonstrates the advantage of intelligent modelling of the behavior within the climate chamber, predicted by a coupled flow and heat transport model. Up to now, very complex long-term tests, which take up to one year, have to be carried out in order to enable a temperature-stable behavior.
