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.

Depicted above is the NQ30

  • The NQ09 incubator runs for approximately 14 hours at 23-23.5C Ambient.
  • Ultra-lightweight. Less than 1/4 the weight of comparable lead-acid battery.
  • The battery pack is approximately 3" (7.6cm) in additional width and weighs 3.75 lbs (1.7 kg).
  • Incredibly long life.
  • Lightweight Lithium-Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries proven rugged
