What is a CO2 incubator used for?
A CO2 incubator is used to create a controlled environment for cell culture or biological samples, maintaining stable conditions such as temperature, CO2 levels, and humidity. This helps promote growth and maintain the health of cultured cells or microorganisms.
Does this incubator maintain a consistent temperature?
Yes, the Model 2406/2 Double Stacked CO2 Incubator is equipped with PID microprocessor controllers to ensure exceptional temperature uniformity, minimizing cold spots and providing consistent conditions for your experiments.
What is the humidity level maintained in this incubator?
The incubator maintains a constant humidity level of 95% through evaporation. While it does not have a humidity display, this mechanism ensures reliable humidity control for cell culture needs.
Is this incubator energy-efficient?
Yes, the double wall construction helps reduce energy consumption and footprint, making it more efficient and ideal for compact spaces, without compromising on performance.
How does the double-stacked design benefit me?
The double-stacked design allows you to save space while increasing your incubation capacity. This design is ideal for laboratories with limited space, making it both a practical and cost-effective solution.
Can I control both temperature and CO2 levels in this incubator?
Yes, the incubator allows you to precisely control both temperature and CO2 levels to maintain the ideal environment for your samples.
Does this incubator come with an alarm system for temperature or CO2 fluctuations?
While the product description does not mention alarms, most CO2 incubators like the Model 2406/2 are equipped with monitoring systems to alert users in case of significant fluctuations in temperature or CO2 levels. Please confirm with the product details or supplier for specifics.
How reliable is this incubator for long-term use?
The Model 2406/2 CO2 Incubator is built for reliable, long-term performance, with high-quality materials and design to ensure consistent conditions for your experiments. Its cost-effective design does not compromise on precision and durability.
Can this incubator accommodate large sample sizes?
While the incubator's space-saving double-stacked design maximizes available space, it is intended for smaller to medium-sized applications. For larger volumes, it’s important to assess the specific capacity to ensure it meets your needs.
Is it easy to clean and maintain this incubator?
Yes, the Model 2406/2 features easy-to-clean materials and a well-designed interior, making routine maintenance and cleaning manageable to ensure hygiene and longevity.
What is the advantage of the heated outer and tempered-glass inner doors?
The heated outer door helps prevent condensation, while the tempered-glass inner door allows you to observe your samples without opening the incubator, maintaining a stable environment and reducing the risk of contamination.
