Product Information

Engineered for precise thermal stability, rigorous microbial cultivation, and consistent
operational uptime within local clinical laboratory environments.

Product Overview
The Novier Scientific VTI-18D is a compact, 20-litre desktop laboratory incubator constructed for
precise incubation, bacterial culture, and biological research. Built using a high-grade cold-rolled
steel exterior with an electrostatic spray finish, the device incorporates a corrosion-resistant
stainless steel inner chamber featuring circular arc transition corners for simplified
decontamination and cleaning. The unit utilizes an electric heating mechanism governed by an
intuitive dual-display PID digital controller, maintaining precise temperature uniformity.
Equipment distributed by Vier Investment Nigeria Limited is sourced directly from our European
logistics hub in Germany and Switzerland, guaranteeing original manufacturing standards,
biological authenticity, and premium operational condition upon delivery.

Clinical Applications & PAS Framework
● Problem: Medical diagnostic laboratories, microbiology centres, and tertiary health
facilities in Nigeria frequently face diagnostic errors caused by fluctuating chamber
temperatures and power instability, leading to compromised bacterial growth, degraded
samples, and invalid diagnostic assays.
● Agitation: Unstable incubation invalidates critical culture and sensitivity tests (C&S),
delays clinical decision-making for critically ill patients, wastes expensive reagents, and
increases operational expenses for healthcare facilities forced to re-run diagnostic panels.
● Solution: The Novier VTI-18D solves these workflow vulnerabilities through its responsive
PID temperature controller with auto-tuning capability, maintaining precise thermal
accuracy within 0.5°C. Its low 200W power rating ensures seamless
operation even on low-capacity back-up generators or uninterrupted power supply (UPS)
systems. The double tempered glass observation door allows clinical staff to inspect
sample trays without opening the chamber, preventing heat loss and maintaining internal
environmental stability.

Primary Clinical & Laboratory Uses

● Microbiological culture growth (bacteriology, mycology).
● Clinical pathology sample incubation.
● Pharmaceutical and biochemical diagnostic testing.
● Hematology reagent pre-warming and constant-temperature storage.
