A cell culture incubator is designed to maintain a constant temperature and high humidity for the growth of tissue culture cells under a CO2 atmosphere. Typical temperature settings range from 4C to 50C, and CO2 concentrations run from 0.3 to 19.9%. Non-corrosive stainless steel interiors are standard, but some newer models feature antimicrobial copper surfaces to prevent contamination. Auto decontamination using heat or UV light is another new and attractive feature available in CO2 incubators.
Temperature in a CO2 incubator is typically controlled either by a water bath that circulates through the walls of the cabinet (
water jacketed CO2 incubator), or by electric coils that give off radiant heat. Some units also include refrigeration for cooling. Relative humidity is maintained between 95% and 98% by an atomizer system or water reservoir. Features of cell culture incubators such as programmable controls with password protection, temperature alarms, CO2 alarms, and door opening alarms enhance convenience and security for the user.

Description | NuAire’s In-VitroCell ES (Energy Saver) NU-5810 Direct Heat (Air Jacketed) Microbiological CO2 Incubator features a 145°C dry sterilization cycle and 95°C humidified decontamination cycle as an added defensive against incubator contamination providing an optimal controlled environment for cell NuAire’s In-VitroCell ES (Energy Saver) NU-5810 Direct Heat (Air Jacketed) Microbiological CO2 Incubator features a 145°C dry sterilization cycle and 95°C humidified decontamination cycle as an added defensive against incubator contamination providing an optimal controlled environment for cell growth. In-VitroCell ES CO2 Incubators provide a stable in-vivo growth model with heating elements located on all 6 sides of the chamber. High density R5 insulation stabilizes the interior chamber temperature requiring less energy to maintain. Unique features such as dual sterilization cycle, humidity and hypoxia control ensure your research needs are met.The basic functionality to promote tissue cell growth by controlling Temperature and CO2 gas levels in the growth chamber. A relative humidity of 90% is produce through convention by a water pan. The Closed Loop HEPA Filtration System creates ISO Class 5 Clean-room like conditions to minimize potential contamination entering the growth chamber.
