The Advanced CO2 Cell Incubators provide controlled environments for mammalian cell and tissue culture applications requiring precise temperature, CO2, and humidity regulation. These benchtop incubators utilize air jacket heating technology with infrared CO2 sensing to maintain physiological conditions essential for cell viability and growth. Available in three capacity configurations (50L, 80L, and 160L), each unit features dual-door design, adjustable shelving, and integrated data logging capabilities.

The incubators maintain temperature uniformity within ±0.3°C at 37°C and CO2 control resolution of 0.1% across the 0-20% range. Steam sterilization capability at 90°C provides decontamination between experiments. Real-time monitoring via LCD touchscreen interface with USB data export supports protocol documentation and quality assurance workflows. The 3-liter water reservoir ensures sustained humidity levels between 90-99% RH for extended culture periods.

How It Works

The Advanced CO2 Cell Incubators employ air jacket heating technology to achieve uniform temperature distribution throughout the chamber. Heat is circulated through an air jacket surrounding the culture chamber, providing gentle, even warming that minimizes temperature fluctuations and hot spots that could affect cell viability. The system maintains temperature uniformity within ±0.3°C at 37°C through continuous circulation and precise thermostat control.

CO2 regulation utilizes infrared sensing technology to monitor and control atmospheric composition from 0-20% with 0.1% resolution. The infrared sensor directly measures CO2 concentration without consuming the gas, providing stable, long-term monitoring capability. This non-consumptive detection method eliminates sensor drift and contamination issues associated with thermal conductivity sensors. The dual-door configuration minimizes atmospheric disturbance during sample access, with an inner door maintaining environmental stability while the outer door provides primary chamber access.

Humidity control is achieved through a 3-liter water reservoir that generates water vapor to maintain relative humidity between 90-99%. The large reservoir capacity ensures extended operation without frequent refilling, while the steam sterilization capability at 90°C provides effective decontamination between experiments without chemical agents.
