Water Jacketed CO2 Incubators

Ideal for Clinical, Analytical, and General Laboratory Applications

SCO water jacketed CO2 incubators provide the uniform temperatures and highly stable CO2 environments necessary to prevent shocks to cell samples.

Applications

• Cell Culture
• Microbiology
• Plant Cell Culture
• Stem Cells
• Tissue Culture
• Food Analysis

Features and Benefits

Copper gas plumbing and a glass viewing door enhance the SCO water jacket CO2 incubators with extensive protection against microbiological contamination.

• Infrared (IR) sensor for quick recovery of CO2 levels after door openings.
• USB data logging capabilities.
• Advanced PID temperature control system for sensitive response.
• Independent over temperature set point and operational control override for additional safety.
• Side-mounted access port, 1" diameter (2.85cm) for independent cables, sensors, and instrumentation.
• Stainless steel interior construction for long life operation, easy cleaning.
• Heated Copper CO2 inlet to promote temperature uniformity and reduce the risks of contamination and condensation.
• Autoclavable shelving system.
• Unique water jacketed design provides excellent temperature uniformity of +/-0.2°C at 37°C.
• Patented copper cage HEPA filter for reduced risk of contamination (Not included in the SCO6WE).
• Heated door to ensure superior temperature uniformity.
• Sealed inner glass door allows for viewing without disturbing the critical growth atmosphere and allows for improved gas utilization and condensate reduction.
• Safety certified CAN/CSA, UL, EN, IEC 61010, and compliant with CE.

Contamination Control

Extensive use of copper in the CO2 sample port, humidity reservoir, heated CO2 feed line, and housing of the patented HEPA filtration system adds reassurance that foreign microbes will not affect test results. Cleanup is a breeze with the all stainless steel chamber, coved corners, and autoclavable door gasket. Optional copper shelves are available for even more contamination control.

Patented Copper Coated HEPA Filter 

This specialized filter included in the SCO2W and SCO5W units features a "bacteriostatic" copper cage to trap particulate matter and reduce the potential for chamber contamination. This filter removes 99.97% of all airborne microbes

Control, Feedback, and Monitoring

The advanced PID (proportional, integral, derivative) controller commands proportional power to the heating elements and CO2 injection frequency to provide the most accurate and responsive control. Each controller is matched to the incubator chamber volume to assure faster response to setpoint without overshoot, and quicker recovery following door openings. Indicator lights are included for visual status feedback on critical functions
