LabExpo Air Jacketed CO2 Incubator is meticulously engineered to foster a consistent and reliable environment for in-vitro cell growth. Equipped with an advanced air-jacketed heating system, this incubator ensures optimal temperature uniformity and stable CO₂ gas control, creating a dependable atmosphere for delicate incubation processes. The air jacket enhances temperature accuracy, while a sophisticated microprocessor-based PID controller fine-tunes the climate, providing an ideal setting for research applications in cell culture, microbiology, and other life science fields.
Designed for long-term performance, the incubator features a Hot Air Circulation System, efficiently distributing heat throughout the chamber to maintain steady temperature levels. A built-in UV light system offers periodic sterilization, preventing microbial contamination and fostering a sterile interior for sensitive cell cultures. With polished stainless-steel shelves and smooth, semicircular corners, the chamber is easy to clean, minimizing the risk of cross-contamination and ensuring that high standards of cleanliness are maintained.
This incubator accommodates various sample sizes with chamber capacities ranging from 80 to 233 liters. Its interior dimensions of 400 × 400 × 500 mm make it spacious enough for diverse experimental needs, while its exterior dimensions of 580 × 500 × 690 mm optimize lab space. The unit is highly efficient, consuming only 500 W of power and operating with a temperature range from ambient +5°C to 55°C, achieving temperature stability within ±0.1°C. The CO₂ concentration is precisely controlled within a 0-20% V/V range, with a resolution of ±0.1%, monitored by an IR sensor for added accuracy.
When it comes to recovery, the LabExpo Air Jacketed CO2 Incubator is designed to rapidly restore stable conditions after door openings. CO₂ recovery to 5% takes less than 3 minutes, while the temperature recovers to 37°C in under 8 minutes, providing seamless transitions that protect sensitive cultures from fluctuations. Its humidity is naturally regulated through vaporization, ensuring levels above 95% for optimal cell growth conditions.
Enhanced safety and functionality features are integral to this incubator. It includes an alarm function to monitor temperature discrepancies, over-concentrations of CO₂, door open times, and UV system status. For safety, a separate temperature-limiting alarm system and an auto-controller for fan speed prevent overheating and sample damage, while a door temperature controller prevents dew formation on the glass door, ensuring visibility. The CO₂ inlet is equipped with a microorganism filter that traps bacteria and dust, supplying pure CO₂ and safeguarding the incubation environment.
Optional connectivity via an RS-485 connector allows for data recording with printer and computer integration, making data tracking and monitoring easy for research documentation. This array of advanced features makes the LabExpo Air Jacketed CO2 Incubator an ideal choice for laboratories seeking a high-performance, user-friendly, and reliable incubator for cell culture applications.
