Laboratory incubator
controller for OEMs
For manufacturers of laboratory incubators, BOD incubators and similar bench and floor units. We engineer the RD150 into your design with suitable sensors and qualified outputs, under your brand, and connected when your customers need remote records.
THE PROBLEM
The controller is the part of an incubator the customer judges you by
A laboratory incubator is a steel box, a heater, an insulated door and a controller. The box can be made locally. The controller decides how stable the chamber is, how the user interacts with it, what happens when a sensor fails and whether the lab can produce a temperature record for its quality system.
Many incubator makers buy a generic panel controller and accept its limits: a single setpoint, manual timing and readings that stay on the display. Moving up means either developing a controller from scratch, with the trials and iterations that involves, or adopting a design that is already proven in machines.
HOW WE WORK WITH OEMS
Engineered into your incubator
Sensors and outputs chosen for the chamber
We engineer the RD150 integration with suitable temperature sensors for your chamber and qualified outputs for your heater and any cooling stage. The choice is made with your chamber volume and target range in mind.
Programmes and timers
Process temperature and timer run together, and multiple programmes can be stored. Users can set an incubation period that ends on time, and labs running different protocols can keep them as recipes.
Your brand, your enclosure
From 100 units we supply the controller with your logo or labels, in a standard plastic or metal enclosure or a moulded one designed for your front panel. White-label web and app branding is available for connected models.
Technology transfer when you are ready
For OEMs who want to build in-house, we offer paid licensed access to the design: schematics, PCB files, bill of materials, firmware source and documentation. RNDSquare retains the IP, and we can support manufacturing with test jigs and training.

FAQ
Questions buyers ask us
Can we buy a laboratory incubator controller with our own branding?
Yes. The RD150 is built to your order with your logo or labels from 100 units. Typical lead time is about 4 weeks for 100 units, with about 4 to 6 weeks more if you want a custom moulded enclosure.
Can the controller be used in a medical or research-grade incubator?
Any medical or research performance claim on your incubator needs validation of the complete unit. We plan that validation into the project and carry out certification work to the standard you target.
Can we manufacture the controller ourselves?
Yes, through licensed technology transfer. You receive schematics, PCB files, the bill of materials, firmware source and documentation as paid licensed access, while RNDSquare keeps the underlying IP. Manufacturing enablement with test jigs and training is a separate engagement.
Why not develop our own incubator controller from scratch?
A new design needs development, field trials and several iterations before it is reliable. The RD150 is already proven across machines, so starting from it shortens the path to market and lets you add features when your customers ask.
