Portable Chambers

All portable chambers now CE and UKCA marked

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 chambers 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.
