Innovation in CO2 Incubator That Drives Performance and Delivers Cell Culture Confidence

A variety of control measure have been developed in Co2 incubator to minimize contamination in Co2 incubator. Airborne particulates are a primary source of contamination in most lab settings. CO2 incubators can be equipped with in-chamber high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters technology that protects your cultures with ISO Class 5 cleanroom-like air quality conditions in only five (5) minutes after a 30-second door opening.

H14 HEPA filters technology protects your cultures with ISO Class 5 cleanroom-like air quality conditions in only five (5) minutes after a 30-second door opening.

The polished 304 stainless steel or 100% copper interiors prevent unwanted microbiological growth and enabling easy cleaning in the incubator chamber. CO₂ incubators with 100% pure copper interiors are naturally easy to clean with no special handling required. Pure copper surfaces provide long service life and are safe for cultured cells. 

The antimicrobial capabilities of 100% pure copper eliminate microbial contaminants quickly and effectively. Low copper content alloys and copper plated stainless steel are less effective.

The automated Steri-Run heat sterilization at 180°C provides continuously circulated throughout the incubator chamber, meeting international pharmacopeia requirements to eliminate any biological contaminants including fungi, spores, mycoplasma, and other bacteria uniform sterilization of all chamber surfaces (12 log SAL). At least 170 degrees to eliminate not just microorganisms and cells but DNA of all chamber surfaces (12 log SAL). This simplifies cleaning without the need for autoclaving and reduces the need to use hazardous chemicals which could have negative effects on cultured cells and laboratory personnel.

A breakthrough in cell culture management, the unique Thermo Scientific Cell Locker System with segregated polycarbonate chambers enhance culture protection and security with faster recovery and use less gas even under hypoxic conditions. The Cell Locker System represents a novel approach to providing improved culturing conditions for primary cells, stem cells, and other sensitive cell types.

Each individual Cell Locker chamber is effectively a quarantine chamber. Dual 0.2µm membrane filters permit air circulation but prevent entry of contaminants.

Having a well designed, properly functioning incubator means that you will never have to worry about it. In such an incubator, your cells will grow well, contamination problems are rare, and the incubator is easy to clean and maintain.
