Astec SCA-165 DRS CO₂ incubator

Suitable for cell culture, the Astec range of CO₂ and multigas incubators offers size and feature variations suited to each laboratory’s requirements. The SCA-165 DRS model is a 163 L CO₂ incubator, which utilises an infrared sensor that is unaffected by temperature and humidity changes inside the chamber, allowing quicker recovery to the desired CO₂ level after opening. This makes it suitable for applications where chamber conditions are critical, such as with tissue culture.

With its auto setup function, the unit is ready to use in 12 h with precisely controlled CO₂ concentration and ongoing automatic two-point CO₂ calibration of the IR sensor. The model is also equipped with the dry heat sterilisation feature, enabling the simple, effective sterilisation of the inner chamber after cleaning or changing samples.
