DB510-DB115 for Precise Temperature and Humidity Control in Incubators

DB510-DB115 Humidity and Temperature Transmitter

A biotechnology enterprise specializing in the R&D and production of probiotics and microbial agents relies on professional incubators for microbial culture—a core process requiring strict temperature and humidity stability: temperature must be precisely controlled at 35±0.5℃, humidity maintained at 60±5%RH, and real-time data monitoring is essential to ensure strain activity. Previously, the enterprise’s traditional temperature and humidity monitoring equipment had obvious shortcomings: the large monitoring probe could not be embedded in the incubator’s compact internal space, so it could only be measured externally, leading to a data deviation of over ±1℃ from the actual internal environment; without real-time display, staff had to frequently open the incubator to check, which disrupted the internal temperature and humidity balance and prevented timely detection of abnormalities; moreover, data could not be automatically recorded, failing to meet production compliance traceability requirements. Multiple batch culture failures due to temperature and humidity fluctuations resulted in heavy losses.
To solve this problem, the enterprise adopted DABECO’s combined solution of DB115 temperature and humidity probe and DB510 monitoring instrument. Their synergistic advantages perfectly meet the needs of the incubator scenario

Application Effects
After the combined solution was put into use, the enterprise’s incubator temperature and humidity control capabilities were significantly improved:
Data accuracy and stability: The internal temperature and humidity measurement deviation was reduced to ±0.3℃ and ±1.5% RH, far better than the previous monitoring level. The qualification rate of probiotic strain activity increased from 82% to 99.5%, and there were no more batch failures due to temperature and humidity fluctuations;

Operational efficiency optimization: Staff no longer need to frequently open the incubator to check, reducing the number of openings by over 50 times per month and saving about 30 working hours. Meanwhile, the automatic data recording function replaces manual writing, improving data traceability efficiency by 80%;

Compliance guarantee: A total of over 100,000 temperature and humidity data records have been stored, which can be exported at any time for production audits, successfully passing compliance inspections by industry regulatory authorities.

The R&D director of the enterprise commented: “The DB115+DB510 combination has completely solved the pain points of our incubator monitoring—the small probe can be accurately embedded in the chamber, and the instrument displays real-time data and automatically alarms, which is worry-free and reliable. Now we can focus more on strain R&D without being distracted by environmental monitoring.”
