Multi-gas incubators for cell culture

In biological research and industrial applications, multi-gas incubators are required to ensure specific gas atmospheres. These devices enable the precise setting of parameters for the cultivation of cells under controlled conditions.

Designs and volume classes

The range includes various sizes, from mini CO2 incubators with a volume of up to 20 litres for small sample quantities to larger models such as the Binder CO2 incubator with 170 litres. The choice of design depends on the required space and the planned sample capacity.

Sensor technology and gas control

For exact monitoring of the atmosphere, the sensor technology used is crucial. For example, CO2 sensors with infrared (IR) technology are used, which enable precise measurement. In addition, specialised models offer O2 control to specifically regulate the oxygen concentration in the incubation chamber.

Areas of application and fields of use

The devices are used in biotechnology, pharmaceutical research, and clinical diagnostic laboratories. Maintaining defined temperature ranges, such as from room temperature to 50°C, is essential for the stability of cultures and the reproducibility of results.

Frequently asked questions about multi-gas incubators
