Must-have features to consider:
- Fast CO₂, temperature, and humidity recovery without overshoot
- Best uniformity and control among competition
- VentiFlow™ forced convection accelerates recovery of chamber air to ISO Class 5 Cleanliness after door closing to prevent contamination.
- Filtered air circulates across the humidity pan to accelerate the humidifying process.
- Air flows gently around culture plates, causing no disturbance to cell culture.
- Blower automatically stops when the door is opened, to minimize mixing of chamber and room air.
- Comprehensive user-configurable alarms for all the parameters.
- CelAlert™ alarm system reminds the user to replace CO₂ tank and ULPA filter.
- Intelligent data and event logger records all incubator parameters for on-screen recall.
- 2 MB built-in flash memory guarantees long term storage of data.
- Diagnostic interface and online quick help provide comprehensive solutions to frequently encountered problems.
- Ductwork, plenums, and shelves are removable without tools.
CO₂ incubator with 90°C MOIST HEAT DECONTAMINATION cycle has been proven in deactivating normally resistant fungi, bacterial spores and vegetative cells by the Health Protection Agency (HPA) in UK. Chamber is cool and dry at the end of full 15-hr decontamination cycle. No further wipe down is needed.
180°C HIGH HEAT STERILIZATION conforms to the International Standards for dry heat sterilization and proven to effectively deactivate normally-resistant fungi, bacterial spore and vegetative cells. Nontoxic and noncorrosive sterilization that completes within 12 hours leaving the chamber cool and dry at the end of the cycle.

The applications of CO₂ Incubator are tissue engineering, In vitro fertilization, neuroscience, cancer research, and mammalian cell research.
The contamination control features of Esco CO₂ Incubator includes 90°C moist heat decontamination/ 180°C high heat sterilization, ULPA filter, gas inlet filter, Isocide™ antimicrobial powder coating, UV lamp (for units with UV lamp), and copper interior chamber (for units with copper chamber only).
The physical parameters needed for the optimum growth and development of cells in a CO₂ incubator are temperature, humidity, and CO₂ and O₂ levels.
Yes, the shelves for Esco CO₂ incubators are removable and autoclavable up to 121°C
The common CO₂ incubator parts that need to be replaced annually are ULPA filter, inlet filter, magnetic gasket (if broken), and UV lamp (if applicable)
Yes, 90°C moist heat decontamination cycle is capable of reducing Mycoplasma by about log 5.
The recommended disinfectants to be used for cleaning stainless steel surfaces of the CO₂ incubator are 70% Isoprophy alcohol, chloride-free detergent, mild sodium hydroxide solution at room temperature, alkaline solutions containing soda, ammonia, or ammonia hydroxide.
It is recommended to do preventive maintenace in a CO₂ incubator every after 6 months.
The installed sensors in Esco CO₂ Incubator are CO₂ sensor, O₂ sensor, temperature sensor, and humiidty display sensor (optional).
2-stage gas pressure regulator prevents over-pressurization of the gas supply into the CO₂ incubator which could cause the tubing to burst.
The temperature range of Esco CO₂ Incubator is ambient +5°C to 60°C.
A CO₂ incubator is a device designed to copy the cells’ natural environment by controlling physical parameters such as the temperature, humidity, CO₂ and O₂ levels for the optimum growth and development of cells.
