CO2 Incubators Resource Guide

Everything you need to know about CO incubators

Written byLab Manager

Incubators are critical instruments for growing a variety of organisms in the lab. They range from non gassed incubators, also called microbiology incubators, that primarily control temperature, to CO2 incubators or tri-gas incubators, those that control CO2 and O2 levels (using nitrogen as a third gas input), to create optimal environments for cell and tissue culture. Refrigerated options are also available for numerous other applications.
