CO2 Incubator - Cell Culture Incubator - IR CO2 Sensor - 0-20% CO2 - 26 to 240 L

The Master Science CO2 Incubator provides a stable, humid, CO2-controlled environment for culturing cells, tissues and bacteria in medical, biological, chemical and agricultural research. An infrared CO2 sensor responds quickly and is not affected by changes in chamber temperature or humidity, so CO2 returns to 5 % within 3 minutes after a 30-second door opening.

Two heating designs are offered: air-jacketed H models from 50 to 240 L and water-jacketed W models, with PID control on both.

Key Benefits

• Fast CO2 recovery: the Master Science CO2 Incubator uses an IR sensor, ideal when the door is opened often.
• Lower contamination risk: heated door prevents condensation on the glass.
• Clean gas supply: 99.99 % microbial filter on the CO2 inlet.
• Easy cleaning: rounded stainless chamber and removable brackets.
• Space saving: units can be stacked two high.

For culture without CO2, see the Master Science laboratory instrument range.
