Incubators create ideal conditions for the growth of microbes and bacteria which can in turn be harmful to incubating eggs and can be the cause of embryonic death.

To reduce this risk Brinsea incorporate Biomaster Antimicrobial Protection into our incubator cabinets during manufacture. Biomaster Protection is embedded within the plastic itself which prevents the growth of harmful bacteria helping to provide the optimum environment for hatching.

Proven to inhibit bacterial growth by up to 99.99% Biomaster product protection is an effective means of reducing bacterial growth from MRSA, E.coli, Campylobacter, Legionella, Salmonella and many other harmful species of bacteria.

Biomaster helps to provide a more hygienic environment for your eggs during incubation. From January 2013 Biomaster has been utilised as widely as technically as possible within our products - providing you with additional confidence in your hatch.

Benefits of Biomaster:

  • Protects unit from microbial growth
  • Biomaster contains proven silver ion technology used in medical applications
  • Uses silver technology which is recognised as safe
  • When independently tested shown to be up to 99.9% effective against a range of bacteria
  • Odourless
  • Effective for the useful life of the product
  • Helps to prevent/reduce unpleasant odours
Our products incorporating Biomaster Protection have been tested to ISO 22196:2011 standards to demonstrate its antimicrobial efficacy. Incubators and other products made with Biomaster still need cleaning thoroughly as Biomaster is not a replacement for cleaning.
