Esco 170 L CelCulture CO2 incubator

The 170 L CelCulture CO₂ incubator incorporates key features for providing suitable cell growth conditions. Vivocell precise parameter control ensures a good temperature uniformity: <±0.2°C - ensuring cultures are evenly incubated.

The choice of temperature and RH compensating TCplus sensor or single beam dual wavelength IRauto sensor ensures precise and uniform CO₂ levels even with frequent door openings. Both CO₂ sensors are auto-zeroing. Ventiflow gentle forced convection uses horizontal airflow across the humidity pan to ensure faster humidity recoveries. With eight heaters grouped into three zones, the direct heat and air jacket provides good temperature recovery. All six surfaces of the incubator are heated, including the door, with virtually no condensation as a result.

The validated SwiftCon overnight decontamination cycle kills most microorganisms using 90°C moist heat. The process takes within 15 h and the chamber is cool and dry on completion. The SteriSafe ULPA filtration system proactively returns the incubator to ISO Class 5 Level cleanliness within 13 min of a door closing.

The units are easy to clean, easy to service and the user-friendly software interface provides the user with parameter levels as well as date and event logger records.
