What Research Purposes Can the NQ Series Be Used For?

The NQ Series portable chambers are designed for a broad range of research applications, including: Microbiological Studies: Suitable for culturing and maintaining microbial samples. Clinical Trials: Essential for transporting and storing clinical samples requiring specific environmental conditions. Environmental Testing: Used for assessing the impact of environmental conditions on various materials or biological samples. Pharmaceutical Transport: Critical for ensuring that pharmaceutical products maintain their integrity during transport. Zoology: Useful for observing animal behaviors and physiological responses under controlled conditions. Botany: Ideal for studying plant growth and response to environmental changes. Environmental Sciences: Enables the examination of environmental effects on biological and chemical processes. These diverse applications highlight the NQ Series' versatility in providing precise environmental control necessary for a wide range of scientific research.

How Long is the Battery Life for the NQ Series Chambers?

The battery life of the NQ Series chambers can vary based on usage patterns and environmental conditions. Typically, these chambers come equipped with battery systems that can last for several hours, with options to extend battery life through additional packs or upgrades of up to 12 or 16 hours, facilitating longer operational periods in the field without access to direct power sources.

Portable Incubators | Portable Chambers

Darwin Chambers NQ Series Portable Incubators have several uses, such as:

- Transporting Blood Samples
- Water Treatment Research
- Maintaining Microbiological Cultures for Cell Research

All of our portable incubators are now and marked. The NQ Series removes the possibility of blood and/or dangerous chemicals getting into the component case. Our newer secure latch lid provides safer sample transportation and prevents accidental openings. As an added option, we have incorporated lightweight Lithium-Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery technology to power the unit on battery power alone. This will be useful anywhere a 120V or 12V power supply is not available. For longer periods of time, extra battery power can be added if required for your incubator needs.

Construction

Top-opening, hinged and latch lid, with durable handles
for easy carrying and transportation.
Exterior: Double wall foam insulation, Seamless high-density polyethylene, Foamed-in-place closed-cell insulating material.
Interior: One-piece molded poly with coved floor for ease of cleaning.
Unit completely pre-wired at factory, and includes a 12VDC car adapter shown
below and AC/DC power supply cord.
