CO2 incubators are designed to copy a cell’s natural environment with a relative humidity of around 95 percent, a temperature of 37°C, and a pH of 7.2 to 7.5. They are most common in biology labs performing tissue or cell culture and are used in any process where cells need to be cultured for a few hours or many weeks or where cells need to be expanded or maintained. Applications of CO2 incubators include cancer research, protein synthesis, stem cell research, in vitro fertilization, vaccine development, and genetic engineering.
