CO₂ incubators with a built in CO₂ sensor which can be sterilised. Units offer optimum growth conditions for cell cultures and meet demanding requirements for best possible cell growth and maximum sample safety. The ANTI.PLENUM design minimises surfaces due to the seamless, deep-drawn inner chamber without fixtures and featuring an integrated shelf support system. This reduces the risk of contamination, giving less surface area and fewer parts to clean manually, and removes the running costs of consumables. Reliable decontamination is provided by the standard-compliant 180 °C hot air sterilisation routine which completely eliminates contaminants and ensures the inner chamber is completely sterilised.

• Touch screen controller with colour LCD and internal data recording via USB interface
• CO₂ introduction through Venturi gas mixing nozzle
• Electronic error self-diagnostic system with visual and acoustic alarms, as well as a potential free contact for central monitoring
• Independent temperature safety device Class 3.1 (DIN 12880) with visual and audible temperature alarm
• Ethernet interface for APT-COM™ Multi Management Software
• Stable pH values due to short recovery times with drift-free infrared CO₂ measurement system

Uniform growth conditions are provided by the VENTAIR™ jacket system, this ensures accurate temperatures, homogeneous temperature distribution, and enables fast recovery times. It also minimises thermal degradation of cell growth due to occasional door openings, and the Permadry™ double-pan humidification system ensures high humidity and condensate-free interior walls. Units can be stacked using stacking adapter to save space, have a tightly fitted inner glass door made of safety glass and two-point door lock.
