High Heat Auto Decontamination CO2 Incubator - SCO Series
Perfect for Clinical, Analytical, and General Laboratory Applications
The SCO6AD unit is engineered to create an optimized culturing environment with passive humidification, stable CO2 levels, and exceptional temperature uniformity, ensuring the integrity of your cell sample populations.
Features and Benefits
- Copper gas plumbing enhances protection against microbiological contamination.
- High-heat auto decontamination cycle effectively eliminates various microorganisms including mycetozoa, yeast, viruses, and bacteria.
- Glass viewing door allows for monitoring without disrupting the critical growth atmosphere.
- Infrared (IR) sensor facilitates quick recovery of CO2 levels post-door openings—no need for removal during decontamination cycles.
- USB data logging capabilities for easy monitoring and record-keeping.
- Advanced PID temperature control system provides sensitive and precise response to changes.
- Independent over-temperature set point and operational control override ensure added safety.
- Convenient side-mounted access port (1.5" inner diameter) for cables, sensors, and instrumentation.
- Durable stainless steel interior construction for longevity and simple cleaning.
- Heated copper CO2 inlet promotes uniform temperature distribution and minimizes contamination and condensation risks.
- Autoclavable shelving system designed for ease of maintenance.
- Heated door contributes to superior temperature uniformity.
- Sealed inner glass door enhances gas utilization and reduces condensate accumulation while allowing unobtrusive viewing.
- Unique air-jacketed design guarantees outstanding temperature uniformity of ±0.25°C at 37°C.
- Safety certified to CAN/CSA, UL, EN, IEC 61010 standards, and compliant with CE requirements.
- Constructed in the USA, ensuring quality and reliability.
Contamination Control
The incorporation of copper in key areas such as the CO2 sample port and humidity reservoir provides extra reassurance against foreign microbes affecting test results. Cleanup is facilitated by the all-stainless steel chamber featuring coved corners and an autoclavable door gasket. Optional copper shelves are available for additional contamination control.
