  • Laboratory tempering devices are needed to store laboratory samples in a shielded environment at a specified target temperature.
  • Incubators are used in biological and medical laboratories to maintain cells in cell culture under controlled environmental conditions, thus enabling the growth of living cells in vitro.
  • the temperature and the gas composition or the atmospheric humidity in the interior of an incubator chamber isolated from the environment are kept at the desired values by the apparatus of the incubator.
  • Eukaryotic cells must be cultured in C0 2 incubators.
  • the atmosphere is formed by air with a certain C0 2 - and 0 2 - content and a certain humidity, a suitable temperature is often 37 ° C, these parameters are usually adjustable.
  • a homogeneous temperature distribution or a homogeneous climate in the incubator chamber and a resistance to interference from external influences is desirable.
  • Such laboratory tempering devices have a chamber for receiving the laboratory samples to be tempered, this chamber is usually disposed within a housing and at least partially separated by insulating material of this. Access to the chamber, in which the user stores and removes the samples inside the housing, in particular in the chamber, generally takes place via a chamber opening or housing opening, which can be closed by means of a housing door.
  • a problem of laboratory temperature control devices of the prior art is that thermal bridges form at the junctions between the housing and the chamber, which may lie in particular in the region of the chamber opening or housing opening, which may lead to undesired disturbances of the chamber climate.
  • Incubators were observed to be attached to the Chamber interior walls near the thermal bridges condensate forms, since at these points heat is drawn off locally via the outgoing thermal bridges, resulting in a local cooling of the inner walls near the joints and condensation.
  • the formation of condensate should be avoided, as it contaminates the interior and germs serves as a basis for growth.
  • the thermal bridges lead to a continuous loss of energy. In principle, however, a low energy consumption of the laboratory temperature control devices should be sought.
