Sophisticated, personal-sized CO2 incubator with 6-sided direct heating provides an even temperature, dry wall, light-weight incubator with greater internal storage capacity than air or water-jacketed designs. Fanless, convection air circulation and seamless chamber optimize culture conditions and minimize contamination risk. Integral viewing window means cultures need not be disturbed. HEPA filtered CO2 inlet, and accurate IR CO2 sensing with automatic baseline correction simplify maintenance. Extra-large display screen provides immediate access and control to on-board programming, alarm functions and real-time data graphing. High temp. (120°C) decontamination option makes cleaning a snap.
