CO2 incubator's built-in H2O2 sterilization system integrates UV light, copper-enriched stainless steel construction and unique cabinet design to permit frequent sterilization in less than three hours.
The value of the laboratory cell culture incubator used in highly regulated research and clinical protocols is directly related to the proportion of incubator uptime vs. downtime.
The third entry in our three-part series on CO2 incubation discusses how to prevent contamination of cell cultures by bacteria (including mycoplasmas), viruses, and fungi, or even cross-contamination by other cell lines.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) incubators are mainstays in traditional biology labs engaging in cell or tissue culture. Incubators provide a stable environment designed to mimic a cell’s natural environment: pH of 7.2 to 7.5, temperature of 37°C, and a relative humidity of about 95 percent.
As mentioned in the first installment of this three-part article series, biological contamination is a serious issue for every cell culture laboratory. Learn more about how to prevent it in the second in a three-part series on cell culture contamination.
Sheldon Manufacturing, Inc. introduces the SHEL LAB Model LI20P, the first widely available, environmentally friendly, thermoelectric cooled incubator designed for low temperature applications.
Incubator contamination is a potential for all incubators. Laboratories have thousands of airborne contaminants that may enter a culture incubator during a door opening and enter the growth environment. High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filt
