Within the pharmaceutical industry, laboratory incubators are silent partners in every stage of drug discovery and development. In early research, they are used to culture pathogenic bacteria or fungi for high-throughput screening of novel antibiotic compounds.

In cell-based assays, they maintain the viability of reporter cell lines used to test drug efficacy and toxicity (cytotoxicity assays). Stability testing, a regulatory requirement, heavily relies on incubators. Drug substances and finished products are stored in stability chambers—essentially highly precise, large-scale incubators—under controlled temperature and humidity (e.g., 25°C/60% RH or 40°C/75%RH per ICH guidelines) to determine shelf life. Biologics development, including monoclonal antibodies and vaccines, is impossible without advanced CO2 incubators. Here, mammalian cells like Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells are grown to produce therapeutic proteins; the incubator ensures optimal growth conditions for these "living factories."

Furthermore, incubators support pharmacokinetic studies by housing tissue samples or cell cultures used to model drug metabolism. From identifying a lead molecule to proving its long-term stability, the incubator provides the controlled, consistent environment necessary to generate the robust data required for regulatory submissions and, ultimately, bringing safe, effective medicines to market.
