Esco has launched its new range of Celculture CO2 incubators at Pittcon in Orlando, Florida, US, on 1-5 March 2010.
The company said the Celculture CO2 incubators provide a carefully monitored and consistent cell culture environment.
Vivocell temperature, CO2 and humidity control technology with proprietary control algorithms provides cells with a pseudo-in vivo environment by ensuring accuracy and uniformity as well as fast recovery of the parameter values following door openings.
The Celsafe contamination control system is an 'all-inclusive' system that comprises a wide range of contamination control methods.
Sterisafe ULPA filtration enables the chamber air to be maintained at ISO class 5 condition.
The Swiftcon moist heat 90C decontamination cycle operates overnight to eradicate any contamination in the unlikely event it occurs.
At the end of the cycle, the chamber is dry and ready to use.
All input gases are filtered by in-line filters before they enter the chamber to remove impurities and contaminants.
The incubator's main body is made from electro-galvanised steel with Esco's Isocide antimicrobial coating.
The interior of the chamber is made from stainless steel type 304.
Esco Celculture CO2 incubators are 170 L or 5.7ft3, direct heat plus air jacket incubator with forced convection.
The incubators are said to be intelligent and easy to use.
The Celalert reminder alarm system prompts user to replace CO2 tank and ULPA filter automatically to prevent the incubator system from being compromised.
Intelligent data and event logger records all incubator parameters for on-screen recalls.
Diagnostic interface and on-screen quick help provide solutions to frequently-encountered problems.
