Classification of CO2 incubator

The carbon dioxide

incubator simulates the growth environment of cells/tissues in the

organism by simulating the incubator. The incubator requires a stable

temperature (37°C), a stable CO2 level (5%), and a constant pH (pH

Value: 7.2-7.4), high relative saturation humidity (95%), a device for

in vitro cell/tissue culture, an advanced instrument for cell, tissue,

and bacterial culture, and is used to develop immunology and tumor Key

equipment necessary for science, genetics and bioengineering. It is

widely used in the research and production of microbiology, medicine,

pharmacy, environmental protection, food, animal husbandry and other

scientific fields.

CO2 incubator classification

According

to the heating system of the CO2 incubator, the CO2 incubator can be

divided into a Water Jacketed Co2 Incubator and an Air Jacketed Co2

Incubator.

The

temperature of the water-jacketed carbon dioxide incubator is

maintained by an independent water jacket surrounding the inner box to

maintain a constant temperature. The water in the water jacket is heated

by an electric heating wire, and then the temperature change is

detected by the temperature sensor in the box. The temperature inside is

constant at the set temperature. Due to the high specific heat capacity

of water, the advantage of the water jacket type is to help uniform

heat dissipation and avoid the formation of cold areas, and it can

better slow down the temperature drop in the incubator after the power

is off. The water jacket type is surrounded by water, so the temperature

uniformity is very good.

The

heating of the air-jacketed carbon dioxide incubator is to directly

heat the inner box through the heaters all over the air jacket layer of

the box, which is also called six-sided direct heating. The heat

insulation system and surface heat dissipation elements are used to

balance the temperature in the incubator . Compared with the water

jacket type, the air jacket type has the characteristics of faster

heating and faster temperature recovery than the water jacket type

incubator, which is especially beneficial for short-term cultivation and

cultivation that requires frequent opening and closing of the door. The

temperature inside the box is generally set at about 37°C. In addition,

the air-jacketed design is simpler than the water-jacketed design, and

there is no need to add water, empty, and clean.
