CO2 incubators provide an optimal cell growth environment by maintaining a humidified atmosphere with temperature and carbon dioxide control. These conditions not only promote cell growth, but also the growth of contaminants, like bacteria, yeast, molds, and other fungi. The contamination-reducing features of an incubator’s functional design and the effectiveness of its self-decontamination system must be considered in choosing an instrument. In this whitepaper, we compare various strategies for preventing contamination in CO2 incubators, from the functional design of the device to self-disinfection programs. We also give some useful tips to prevent contamination when using CO2 incubators.
