SHEL LAB Large Capacity Microbiological Incubators

High-Volume Precision Incubation with Reinforced Shelving and Superior Uniformity

The SHEL LAB SMI Series of microbiological incubators delivers reliable, uniform temperature control in extra-large capacities — making it a top choice for busy laboratories, industrial microbiology, and pharmaceutical testing environments.

With interior volumes of 30.8 cu. ft. (SMI31) and 38.6 cu. ft. (SMI39), these reach-in incubators are engineered to support high-throughput workflows while conserving floor space.

Rugged reinforced flooring and six heavy-duty adjustable shelves make these units ideal for accommodating roller bottle apparatus, shakers, or large sample loads — without sagging or shifting under weight.
