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. As many other companies look at ways they can be more sustainable, we have five tips on how to run your Incubators (Stability Chambers) more sustainably.

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Choosing the latest generation chambers with light-dose control or timers can not only be better for timed experiments but will also save more energy. Once the desired light dosage is achieved, the chamber switches off automatically.
4. 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 also ensure it is functioning efficiently.  
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.
