Typical capacity

For this class of CO2 incubator, internal volumes commonly range from 150 to 200 litres.

Temperature range

Units of this type typically offer a temperature range from ambient +5°C to around 50-60°C.

CO2 concentration range

Commonly, CO2 concentration is controllable from 0.5% to 20%.

Humidity control

Many CO2 incubators feature a water pan for passive humidification, often achieving up to 95% relative humidity.

Power supply

This model designation (230) indicates operation on a 230V, 50/60Hz single-phase supply, common in the UK.

Interior material

Interiors are typically constructed from polished stainless steel for ease of cleaning and corrosion resistance.

• What is the primary function of a CO2 incubator?

  A CO2 incubator provides a controlled environment, specifically regulating temperature, CO2 concentration, and often humidity, to support the optimal growth of cell cultures and microorganisms.

• How is CO2 concentration maintained?

• What maintenance is typically required for a CO2 incubator?

• Can this unit be used for anaerobic cultures?

• What are the benefits of a 'direct-from-lab' purchase?

Laboratory incubators hold solid reputations for reliability in research and biotech environments. Buyers typically prioritise temperature stability, uniform air circulation, and build quality when purchasing used units. Key considerations include chamber homogeneity, controller functionality, and maintenance history. Industry sentiment favours equipment from established manufacturers with robust construction. Common strengths include durability across extended operating periods, precise environmental control, and straightforward maintenance access. Buyers appreciate models with clear documentation and verifiable service records.
