CO2CELL

Laboratory Incubators with Air circulation with CO₂ atmosphere

-Type Standard MC001425

-Type Comfort MC001420-48

Latest generation of CO₂ incubators is focused on constant and reproducible conditions for cell growth procedures, tissue and other cultivating cultures. Trial circuit heating system eliminates the need of fan and consequently lowers the risk of vibrations and cross-contamination. Precise CO₂ infrared sensor with high stability provides maximum reliability and measurement accuracy throughout the process. Thanks to the direct heated chamber, installation and maintenance is very easy. The inner glass door is sealed, allowing you to inspect the samples without losing the conditions in the chamber of the device. Outer glass door is sealed towards external sealing.

Range of useful options supports features like sterilization on 200°C while CO₂ sensor remains inside machine, split inner glass door lowers the recovery time after door opening, Oxygen control, etc.

The principle of operation is based on fine gravitation flow of operation gas in direct heated chamber at high relative humidity and selected gas concentration. The unique system of chamber and door eliminates the necessity of a ventilator and so it eliminates even related risks of mutual contamination of samples due to vibrations and forced circulation of operation atmosphere. Possible work in CO₂, respectively O₂ and N₂ atmosphere.

The unit chamber and door are provided with a unique temperature control system that heats every chamber wall separately. The specially located heating bodies create spiral air flow inside the chamber. Thereby a very stable and homogenous temperature profile without temperature jumps is guaranteed. That is why the unit operation does not require a fan. In this way the risk of the samples contamination is completely eliminated. Thanks to the on-line watching of all important parameters, e.g. temperature and CO₂ concentration, the new control system secures very short recovery times after the door opening. By eliminating the need of a fan, there are no vibrations inside the chamber, which is very important for a top-quality cultivation of cell cultures. The rounded edges of the stainless steel chamber and the system of shelves removable without use of any tool make cleaning easier and more effective. The CO2CELL units provide an excellent ratio of inside volume/external dimensions. They can be placed both on a smaller laboratory desk and an office table. Despite their original and distinctive design they can be stacked using a reduction element. The use of an infrared sensor for CO₂ detection means involvement of the latest technology in this branch. This sensor is independent on the relative humidity and has a considerably shorter recovery time than other technologies. The uncontrolled homogenous relative humidity of 95 % in the chamber prevents the drying-up of samples. The unit is also provided with a unique design that prevents condensation at another than at the specified place of the chamber and thus eliminates the undesirable contamination.
