The Master Science Frost-Free Programmable Cooling Incubator is built for long experiments where even small drifts matter. Its frost-free refrigeration avoids the temperature swings caused by ice build-up or defrost cycles, so stability holds over days and weeks.
Two versions are offered: the YB series covers 0 to 65°C and the YL series −10 to 65°C. A fuzzy PID controller stores 30 segments and 99 cycles, letting you ramp temperature and set fan speed and time step by step. The fan has three speeds to limit evaporation, and a diffusion-type duct spreads air evenly. Six sizes run from 103 to 1022 litres, with USB recording, an over-temperature cut-out and full compressor protection.

Key Benefits
- No defrost swings: Frost-free design keeps the Master Science Frost-Free Programmable Cooling Incubator stable through long runs.
- Program complex profiles: 30 segments and 99 cycles allow ramps, soaks and repeats.
- Protect delicate samples: Low fan speed reduces evaporation from open vessels.
- Room for big loads: Sizes up to 1022 L handle large batches or plant trays.
For smaller benchtop needs, see our cooling biochemical incubator 81-397 L as a lighter option than the Master Science Frost-Free Programmable Cooling Incubator.

Incubation Problems the Master Science Frost-Free Programmable Cooling Incubator Solves
Conventional cooling incubators drift during defrost and offer little programming. The Master Science Frost-Free Programmable Cooling Incubator addresses:
- Temperature jumps during defrost: Frost-free design removes defrost cycles.
- Fixed single setpoint: Multi-segment programs follow complex profiles.
- Samples drying out: A low fan setting reduces evaporation.
- No temperature record: USB recording keeps a data log for every run.
