About Brinsea's Octagon Incubators

Cabinet

The high quality incubator cabinets are entirely injection moulded from high grade ABS which makes them durable and easy to clean. The base is double skinned and foam filled to reduce heat loss meaning lower electricity consumption and better temperature distribution. The incubator tops are clear allowing good visibility of the eggs and chicks inside.

Humidity and ventilation

Air is circulated by long life computer fans which, coupled with the unique grilles with optimised air diffusers, means extremely even air temperature throughout the egg chamber. Fresh air is controlled with a vent slider and humidity is provided by water in reservoirs in the base (unless the EX pump is used – Advance models only).

Egg handling

To accommodate eggs of different sizes the removable egg trays are supplied with dividers which the user can position to suit their eggs and maximize the number that can be held. Eggs from as small as finches to as large as geese can be incubated. See comparison table below for a guide to the numbers of a range of popular species which will fit each incubator.

Egg turning is achieved by rocking the whole cabinet from side to side either by hand (hence the Octagon shape) or with the automatic turning cradle which moves the incubator through 90° approximately once each hour. External egg turning keeps the incubator interior free from motors and mechanisms which makes cleaning easier.

Protected by Biomaster

Biomaster antimicrobial additive is proven to reduce bacterial growth by 99.99% and 100% safe for eggs, chicks and humans. Protects hatches from microbial transfer by cross contamination helping to reduce unexplained hatching failures.
