Product Intelligence: CO2 Incubators: Keeping Cultured Cells Healthy

A CO₂ incubator is crucial for growing and maintaining cultured cells. CO₂ incubators can be water-jacketed, in which the layer around the incubator has heated water, or air-jacketed, also known as forced air incubators. Important factors to consider are the type of CO₂ sensor (thermal conductivity or infrared), tools for controlling humidity, and methods for preventing contamination. Specialized CO₂ incubators feature an alarm system to notify you if the humidity, temperature, or CO₂ fall below the necessary levels.
