FAQ:
Q1: What are the unique features of the Yamato IN Series? A: The IN Series represents Yamato's highly reliable Low-Temperature Programmable Incubators. The defining unique feature of this series is its integration of a powerful compressor, allowing for sub-ambient cooling down to -10°C. It achieves high-precision temperature control and balanced distribution through forced air circulation by a specialized fan blade. Furthermore, it features an advanced defrosting cycle function (based on continuous compressor operation time) and a sophisticated inner glass door to minimize temperature changes during observation.
Q2: What are the internal size, external size, and capacity in Liters for the IN models? A: The IN series offers three substantial volume capacities designed for high-throughput environmental and low-temperature testing:
IN613C / IN613CW: 143 Liters.
IN813C: 286 Liters.
IN913C: 624 Liters.
Q3: What are the maximum and minimum operating temperatures? A: Designed for versatile sub-ambient processing, the operating temperature range for the entire IN series spans from a freezing minimum of -10°C up to a maximum of 60°C.
Q4: What is the temperature distribution accuracy of the oven? A: Utilizing optimized forced circulation, the IN series delivers excellent thermal control across its massive chambers. It provides a temperature uniformity of ≤2.0°C (at 37°C). Furthermore, it maintains a highly rigorous internal temperature fluctuation of just ±0.5°C, ensuring that your low-temperature cultures are never exposed to erratic thermal spikes.
Q5: How long does it take to reach the maximum temperature? A: Engineered with highly efficient heating elements and a robust compressor cooling system, the IN series achieves rapid thermal recovery. According to the temperature rise and fall characteristic curves, the chamber steadily reaches its extreme limits (-10°C or 60°C) with exceptional speed, allowing researchers to quickly establish strict environmental conditions for time-sensitive experiments.
Q6: What are the internal and exterior materials, and what are the advantages of the insulator? A: The internal chamber is constructed from premium stainless steel plate, offering excellent corrosion resistance against moisture and effortless daily cleaning. The exterior is robustly built from cold-rolled steel plate finished with a specialized chemical-proofing coating. The advanced insulation perfectly seals the chamber, drastically minimizes thermal bleed, lowers compressor energy consumption, and keeps the internal environment highly stabilized during long-term sub-ambient incubation protocols.
Q7: What applications is this oven suitable for and what are its key features? A: The IN series is widely applicable for various constant temperature tests, plant/insect cultivation, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) testing, and low-temperature environmental experiments. Because it is standardly equipped with programmable operation functions and forced-air circulation, it is perfectly suited for R&D facilities that require complex, automated, multi-step heating and cooling cycles that cross the ambient room temperature threshold.
Q8: What are the built-in safety features? A: Safety is a paramount priority for Yamato, especially when operating refrigeration compressors. The IN series is equipped with a highly comprehensive suite of safety mechanisms, including a compressor overload relay, a responsive self-diagnostic circuit (detecting temperature sensor anomalies, heater disconnections, SSR short circuits), an automatic overheat prevention device, an overcurrent leakage protection switch, a key lock function, and an audible buzzer alarm during anomalies.
Q9: What is the shelf load weight capacity? A: The robust stainless-steel shelves included with the IN series are structurally engineered to safely support heavy-duty sample loads. They securely accommodate dense batches of culture flasks, deep well plates, and even heavy shaking equipment (which can be installed directly into the IN613CW model) without warping or disrupting the forced-air currents.
Q10: Is the price affordable while maintaining Japanese quality? A: Absolutely. Yamato is fiercely dedicated to providing incredibly cost-effective laboratory solutions. Even with its elite programmable architecture, integrated compressor cooling (-10°C), and massive capacities up to 624L, the IN series is deliberately NOT priced at a premium. This gives your laboratory direct access to an elite standard of Japanese manufacturing without breaking the budget. You receive an instrument built with over 130 years of Yamato’s strict quality control, rigorous testing, and rich engineering heritage, ensuring complete confidence in the long-term reliability and value of your investment.
Q11: When and why should we use this oven? A: You should specifically choose the IN series when your biological or environmental samples require incubation at sub-ambient temperatures (down to -10°C). Standard incubators simply cannot cool below room temperature. The IN series provides the perfect balance of robust compressor cooling, advanced multi-step programmability, and high-capacity space for complex environmental testing.
Q12: What standard ports and optional accessories are available? A: Standardly equipped with an integrated cable port (30mm/50mm) and a viewing window, the IN series is highly adaptable. To maximize utility, you can easily customize the unit with optional accessories, including a micro printer, extra stainless steel shelves, robust matching stands, external data loggers, and Yamato's specialized central monitoring software.
Q13: Can these ovens be customized to suit specific customer needs? A: Yes. Recognizing that every laboratory has distinct workflows, Yamato can customize the IN series to a certain level to suit specific customer needs. Whether you require specific internal shaking integrations, unique cable port placements, or specialized data output terminals for your monitoring systems, Yamato’s flexible manufacturing approach ensures your low-temperature incubator perfectly matches your facility's operational requirements.
