CO2 Water Jacketed Incubators
Precision Engineering for Optimal Laboratory Use
The SCO Series of water jacketed CO2 incubators are engineered for excellence, delivering a reliable environment for clinical, analytical, and general laboratory applications. Designed with advanced technology, these incubators ensure stable CO2 environments and uniform temperatures, effectively safeguarding your valuable cell samples from thermal shocks.
Features and Benefits
- Copper Gas Plumbing: Enhances protection against microbiological contamination.
- Infrared (IR) Sensor: Facilitates quick recovery of CO2 levels post door openings, ensuring minimal disruption.
- USB Data Logging: Streamlines your research processes with reliable data tracking.
- PID Temperature Control: Advanced system provides sensitive and stable temperature responses.
- Safety First: Independent over temperature set point and operational control override to secure your samples.
- Access Port: Side-mounted 1" diameter (2.85cm) port for convenient connection of cables and sensors.
- Durable Interior: Constructed from stainless steel for long-lasting operation and easy cleaning.
- Heated CO2 Inlet: Promotes temperature uniformity, minimizing risks of contamination and condensation.
- Autoclavable Shelving System: Ensures convenience and hygiene during usage.
- Temperature Uniformity: Unique water jacketed design offers excellent uniformity of +/-0.2°C at 37°C.
- HEPA Filter: Patented copper cage filter reduces contamination risk (not included in the SCO6WE).
- Heated Door: Assures superior temperature uniformity and efficient gas utilization.
- Sealed Inner Glass Door: Allows for observation without disturbing the internal atmosphere, enhancing gas utilization.
- Certified Safety Compliance: CAN/CSA, UL, EN, IEC 61010, and CE compliant.
Contamination Control
The extensive use of copper in critical areas such as the CO2 sample port, humidity reservoir, and CO2 feed line elevates contamination control, ensuring that microbial interference is minimized. The all-stainless steel chamber, with coved corners and autoclavable door gaskets, simplifies cleanup processes. Optional copper shelves can be added for enhanced contamination prevention.
