CO2 INCUBATOR
MAKE DINESH SCIENTIFIC
DESCRIPTION:
For important cell cultures, carbon dioxide (CO2) incubators offer ideal growing conditions and help prevent contamination. Offers a comprehensive selection of CO2 incubators, ranging from cabinets with enormous capacities to those with modest volumes. The proprietary Water Jacket and Air Jacket systems used in the construction of all CO2 incubators reduce the possibility of condensation both now and in the future.
CO2 INCUBATOR AND ITS KEY FEATURES:
TEMPERATURE CONTROL:
- CO2 incubators maintain a stable and controlled temperature, typically set around 37 degrees Celsius (body temperature). This temperature is ideal for mammalian cell culture.
CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) CONTROL:
- CO2 levels are crucial for maintaining a physiological pH in the culture medium. CO2 incubators typically allow the user to set and regulate the CO2 concentration, often in the range of 5% to 10%, to mimic the conditions inside the human body.
HUMIDITY CONTROL:
- Maintaining an appropriate level of humidity is important to prevent evaporation of the culture medium and to create a stable environment for cells. CO2 incubators usually provide a humidification system to control and monitor humidity levels.
STERILIZATION:
- CO2 incubators are equipped with features to maintain a sterile environment. This includes HEPA filters to prevent contamination from airborne particles and a system for routine cleaning and decontamination.
ALARM SYSTEMS:
- CO2 incubators often include alarm systems to alert users in case of deviations from set parameters, such as temperature, humidity, or CO2 concentration, which compromise cell culture integrity.
FEATURES:
- A water tank to control the chamber’s humidity.
- Water jacket: equipped with a HEPA filter; air jacket: equipped with a UV lamp for sterilization.
- The incubator has an LCD display and a USB connector, allowing it to save data instantly.
- A premium CO2 gas filter guarantees the interior gauge quality.
- Gas circuit valves from the SMC brand guarantee a more constant CO2 concentration and less CO2 gas usage.
- Microcomputer controller with LED temperature, CO2 concentration, timing, and run time displays.
- Accurate CO2 concentration is ensured via a superior infrared sensor.
- The structure of the working chamber is rounded, making it easier to clean.
