Lovibond DI 20 Digital Incubator
Reliable microbiological incubation with integrated heating and cooling.
The Lovibond DI 20 Digital Incubator provides a compact and portable solution for controlled microbiological incubation across laboratory, field and remote water testing applications.
Featuring integrated heating and cooling functions, the DI 20 maintains stable incubation temperatures across varying environmental conditions, supporting consistent and reliable microbiological analysis.
Designed for straightforward operation, the incubator accommodates up to 20 tests using reusable stainless steel micro plates, providing a practical solution for routine water quality monitoring in demanding environments.
Consistent Temperature Control
Reliable microbiological testing depends on maintaining appropriate incubation temperatures to support bacterial growth and ensure meaningful comparison of results.
The Lovibond DI 20 incorporates both heating and cooling functions as standard, allowing incubation temperatures to be controlled independently of changing ambient conditions within the specified operating limits.
With a temperature range of 20°C to 47°C and a specified tolerance of ±0.5°C, the incubator provides stable conditions to support dependable microbiological testing across different environments.
Compact, High-Capacity Testing
The Lovibond DI 20 combines a compact design with a practical testing capacity, making it suitable for microbiological analysis where space and portability are important considerations.
Using reusable stainless steel micro plates, the incubator can accommodate up to 20 individual tests within a small footprint, supporting efficient sample processing during routine monitoring.
This approach provides a convenient alternative to larger incubation equipment, allowing users to carry out multiple microbiological tests without the need for extensive laboratory facilities.
Designed for Straightforward Operation
The Lovibond DI 20 features an intuitive pictographic control interface, helping users operate the incubator with minimal training or specialist technical knowledge.
Clear LED indicators provide information on incubation cycle progress and temperature status, allowing operators to monitor testing conditions and confirm when the required temperature has been reached.
Combined with its compact, lightweight construction, these features make the DI 20 suitable for both experienced laboratory technicians and field operators carrying out regular microbiological testing.
Portable Testing Across Environments
The Lovibond DI 20 is designed for microbiological water testing in laboratory, field and remote environments where conventional incubation facilities may not be readily available.
Operating from a 12 V power supply, its compact construction makes it practical to transport and use across different testing locations, including challenging field conditions.
Developed with reference to the WHO Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality (4th Edition), the DI 20 supports controlled incubation as part of microbiological drinking water testing programmes.
Supporting Reliable Microbiological Analysis
Consistent incubation conditions are essential for microbiological water quality monitoring, helping ensure that test results remain comparable across different sampling locations and testing periods.
By combining integrated heating and cooling, stable temperature control and capacity for multiple samples, the Lovibond DI 20 provides a flexible solution for microbiological analysis outside conventional laboratory environments.
This makes the incubator a practical choice for water quality professionals requiring dependable, portable incubation equipment for routine monitoring, field investigations and drinking water testing applications.
