Key Benefits: Precision, Efficiency, and Safety for Your Lab

Our CO2 Incubator is more than just a piece of equipment; it is a solution designed to address the real-world challenges you face daily. We have focused on core features that deliver tangible benefits, enhancing your lab's productivity and the reliability of your cell culture outcomes.

• Unmatched Temperature and CO2 Control: Powered by a PID-controlled six-sided direct heating system, this unit delivers an outstanding temperature uniformity of ±0.3°C. The state-of-the-art Infrared (IR) CO2 sensor utilizes NDIR dual beam technology to deliver ultra-precise concentration management with a control precision of ±0.1%. This directly solves the common pain point of inconsistent culture conditions.

• Fast Recovery After Door Openings: Frequent door openings threaten cell viability. The highly responsive control system paired with a forced-air convection loop and ULPA filtration ensures that chamber temperature and CO2 concentration recover within just 5 minutes after a 30-second door opening.

• 100% In-situ 180°C Sterilization: Establish an uncompromising barrier against microbial risks with a fully automated overnight 180°C dry heat sterilization cycle (6-log SAL). There is no need to remove the IR CO2 sensor, ULPA filter, or optional sensors, eliminating the risk of recontamination during reinstallation and ensuring USP and EP compliance.

• Contamination Prevention: The seamless, mirror-polished stainless steel chamber eliminates cracks and crevices. The exterior features MicroStat™ antimicrobial powder coating, which actively inhibits the growth of common contaminants like S. aureus and E. coli.

• Intuitive Touchscreen Controller: The high-resolution, user-centric touchscreen delivers exceptional visual clarity and intuitive menu navigation. It is optimized for rapid response even when operated with laboratory gloves.

• Optional Oxygen Control: Create physiological hypoxia (1% to 21% O2) to simulate in vivo microenvironments for stem cells, primary cells, tumor cells, and organoids. The advanced zirconia oxygen sensor withstands 180°C sterilization.

Solving the Problems That Slow Lab Work Down

We know the frustrations that come with maintaining a stable environment for cell culture. The CO2 Incubator is built to eliminate them.

• Struggling with temperature and CO2 fluctuations compromising cell viability? The six-sided direct heating and IR CO2 sensor maintain ±0.1°C and ±0.1% accuracy, ensuring a stable environment for sensitive cultures.

• Concerned about contamination risks during routine maintenance? The 180°C in-situ dry heat sterilization cycle sterilizes the chamber without removing the sensors or filters, eliminating recontamination risks.

• Tired of slow recovery times after checking on your cultures? Forced-air convection and ULPA filtration ensure temperature, CO2, and ISO Class 5 cleanliness recover within 5 minutes after door openings.

• Need to simulate physiological oxygen levels? The optional O2 control kit allows you to create precise hypoxic conditions (1% to 21% O2) for advanced cell models like organoids and stem cells.

By choosing this CO2 Incubator, you are investing in a dependable partner for your lab's daily operations, designed to deliver environmental stability and contamination control where it matters most.
