HEPA Clean CO₂ Incubator

Offered in two chamber capacities, this new CO2 Incubator design features a HEPA filtration system with a patented copper housing. As the chamber air is drawn through the filter system, airborne microbes and isolated particulates are not only removed from air but destroyed as well. It is through copper oxidation that the contaminants are actually killed. The HEPA filter is easily replaced without the need any tools and has an efficiency rating of 99.97% at 0.3 microns.

In addition to the HEPA filtration system, our new units introduce a deep drawn, radius chamber to make clean up in corners easy. An air jacket around the chamber helps reduce the possibility of contamination due to condensation within the chamber. The new shelf system is easily removed to aid in effortless cleaning and decontamination.

As with other units, the HEPA Clean CO₂ Incubators are all microprocessor controlled to achieve precise temperature and CO₂ control. The temperature and CO₂ levels are displayed digitally on large, easy to read LED displays.

The Infrared (IR) CO₂ sensor allows for the most accurate detection and control of CO₂ levels in the chamber. It is capable of sensing a change in the CO₂ concentration as small as 0.1% and is unaffected by changes in temperature and humidity. Infrared also quickly senses a change in CO₂, facilitating rapid recovery after door opening.

Humidification is achieved through natural evaporation of distilled water in the humidity pan. The overtemperature safety is independent of the main controls and is user adjustable. A tempered glass viewing door allows for viewing of samples without disturbing the chamber environment.
