6 Incubators Tips in Line with Sustainability

WolfLabs has committed to reducing Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions by 90% by 2040 from a 2024 baseline year, using a science-based targeting approach. We would also like to help our customers. Hopefully these tips will be of use to you. If you can think of more, please Email Us.

1. Check for wear and tear on door seals at least once a year. If the door is not sealing properly across the whole surface, your energy costs will be needlessly high.
2. Ensuring that regular maintenance work is performed at least once a year keeps your incubator working to the best of its ability and picks up any performance inaccuracies or wear and tear issues that may be hampering performance.
3. With an increased amount of dust in the ambient air, clean the Peltier fan grid by suction or blowing several times a year. This will keep the equipment clean, and ensures it is functioning efficiently.
4. If users can agree a basic procedure for door openings this can often result in fewer door openings over the day. Even simply discussing the issue raises awareness that unnecessary door openings and leaving doors open for too long will increase energy costs.
5. Cabinets with thermoelectric cooling are more environmentally friendly and quieter. They also use significantly less energy than models with a compressor. Compressor-based units are the better choice for applications significantly below the ambient temperature or with heat input. Which technology is most suitable always depends on the needs of the users and which application is required.
6. When it comes to the interior, less is more: it should be simple, clear, easy to clean, and low-maintenance. Consumables can also be a decisive sustainability factor, as they can be as high as €1,500 per year for some manufacturers. Keep your running costs low by choosing an incubator that needs no consumables.
