Incubator

摘要

An incubator is provided for exposing samples accommodated in sample containers to a specifically specifiable temperature, comprising a sample chamber, the temperature of which can be controlled and which has at least one closable access opening, and at least one insertion and removal mechanism, which bears a sample container carrier and by means of which the sample container carrier, which in turn bears a sample container, can be moved into the sample chamber and out of the sample chamber through an access opening of the incubator. The incubator according to the invention is furthermore characterized in that the at least one insertion and removal mechanism is installed completely outside of the sample chamber and bears the sample container carrier inserted into the sample chamber even while the access opening is closed.
