Boante BAT-MGSH Series Precision Mold Incubator

Overview

The Boante BAT-MGSH Series Precision Mold Incubator is a laboratory-grade environmental chamber engineered for controlled mycological cultivation, fungal isolation, and long-term microbiological studies requiring stable, reproducible temperature conditions. Designed specifically for mold growth assessment—such as in pharmaceutical stability testing, food safety validation, and environmental monitoring—the incubator operates on a forced-air convection principle with balanced refrigeration and precision thermal regulation. Its operational range spans from 4°C (for low-temperature preservation or psychrotrophic mold screening) to 60°C (suitable for thermotolerant species or accelerated growth protocols), making it compatible with ISO 11133, USP , and ASTM D3273 standards for mold resistance evaluation. The chamber’s structural integrity derives from laser-cut, welded stainless steel construction with electrostatic powder-coated exterior and mirror-finish 304 stainless steel interior—ensuring corrosion resistance, cleanability, and compliance with GLP-aligned facility requirements.

Key Features

• 4.3-inch full-color capacitive touchscreen interface with intuitive navigation and real-time parameter visualization
• 30-segment programmable control system, supporting time-based ramp/soak profiles (0–9999 minutes or 0–999 hours per segment)
• Adaptive dual-loop PID temperature control algorithm minimizing overshoot and ensuring rapid stabilization after door opening
• High-accuracy PT100 platinum resistance thermometer with low self-heating effect and fast step-response (<3 s to 90% of final reading)
• Optimized axial-flow air circulation system with micro-circulation fan design, achieving ≤3 min temperature recovery (to ±0.5°C of setpoint) following 30-second door opening
• Dual-pane inner observation door with low-emissivity glass, reducing thermal loss while maintaining optical clarity during continuous monitoring
• Integrated UV-C germicidal lamp (254 nm) for routine decontamination between cycles; independently switchable and interlocked with door safety switch
• Standard 220 V AC internal power outlet (IEC 60320 C13) enabling direct connection of auxiliary equipment such as humidity sensors or data loggers
• Modular shelving system: four adjustable 304 stainless steel trays (quantity varies by model), each rated for ≥15 kg load capacity and configurable in 25 mm vertical increments

Sample Compatibility & Compliance

The BAT-MGSH series accommodates standard Petri dishes (90–150 mm), multi-well plates, slant tubes, and agar-filled jars without spatial interference. Interior geometry—including rounded corners and seamless welds—facilitates validated cleaning and sterilization procedures per ISO 14644-1 Class 7 cleanroom maintenance protocols. All models meet CE marking requirements for electrical safety (EN 61010-1) and electromagnetic compatibility (EN 61326-1). When equipped with optional RS485/USB interfaces and thermal printer output, the system supports audit-trail-capable data recording aligned with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 expectations for electronic records in regulated environments.

Software & Data Management

Data logging functionality is accessible via built-in memory (≥10,000 data points) or external export through USB mass storage mode. Optional RS485 Modbus RTU protocol enables integration into centralized building management systems (BMS) or LIMS platforms. The WeChat Mini-Program remote interface provides authenticated access to real-time temperature status, alarm history, and programmable schedule modification—subject to local network firewall configuration. Thermal printer output generates timestamped hardcopy reports compliant with ISO/IEC 17025 documentation traceability requirements.

Applications

• Fungal enumeration and identification in clinical, food, and environmental samples per ISO 13789 and EN 13822
• Mold resistance testing of construction materials, textiles, and coatings under ASTM D3273 and JIS Z 2801
• Pharmaceutical stability studies involving hygroscopic or temperature-sensitive formulations
• Quality control of microbial culture media and reagent validation workflows
• Long-duration incubation of dermatophytes, Aspergillus spp., Penicillium spp., and other obligate aerobes requiring consistent thermal environments

FAQ

What is the minimum operating temperature, and can it maintain sub-ambient conditions?
Yes—the incubator achieves and stabilizes at 4°C using a balanced refrigeration circuit with R134a refrigerant and high-efficiency condenser cooling.
Is the UV lamp ozone-free and safe for routine use inside the chamber?
The integrated UV-C lamp emits at 254 nm without ozone generation and features automatic cutoff when the inner door is opened.
Can temperature uniformity be verified across all shelf levels?
Uniformity specification (±0.8°C) applies to any single horizontal plane; multi-point mapping per ISO 14644-3 is recommended for qualification.
Does the incubator support GMP-compliant user access control?
While the base unit does not include role-based authentication, optional software modules enable password-protected parameter editing and electronic signature logging.
What calibration documentation is provided upon delivery?
Each unit ships with a factory calibration certificate traceable to NIM (National Institute of Metrology, China), including as-found/as-left readings at three temperature points (15°C, 30°C, 45°C).
