Why is a BOD Incubator important for bio-scientific and biotechnological experiments?
BOD incubator (Bio-oxygen Demand Incubator) is used to maintain sample test tissues and microbiology cultures and other bacterial cultures used in lab testing. The BOD incubators are designed to store sample cultures and cell growth cultures at a specific temperature close to decimals in a closed space. A regular BOD Incubator would just be a box with insulation that would successfully maintain a certain temperature. The newer contemporary BOD incubators are now designed to not only control temperatures but also control the humidity levels and carbon-di-oxide levels within the chambers.
Bio-scientific and biotechnological experiments are very technical and require that culture be maintained in a specific state before and during the process of experimentation. BOD incubators are crucial to such processes as they allow longer preservation of samples and cultures at the right temperature, humidity and gas exposure.
Whilst researching about test culture growth and maintaining samples, it is also necessary to not only preserve but also observe the cell samples under specific conditions. A high degree of temperature and carbon-di-oxide accuracy is required throughout the process. Similarly to study the processes of germination of bacteria and insects.
When microbes consume oxygen in the BOD chamber as an electron receptor, oxygen depletion occurs. Microbes feed on organic materials for energy and survival as well as procreation. The oxidation method and maintaining of the carbon-di-oxide levels are necessary for the maintenance of the cultures and test samples.
BOD Incubators are a rather important invention when it comes to the sciences of biotechnology and bioscience. Without BOD incubators it would have been impossible to make observations and progressions in these fields and develop groundbreaking medicines and vaccines. Varying in sizes, now BOD incubators can be a small tabletop incubators or as big as a refrigerator, depending on the requirement and industry size.
