Key considerations when purchasing a CO2 incubator
9 Sept 2024CO2 incubators provide an optimum environment for tissue cell culture growth, and, when operated effectively, maintain cells for extended periods of time. To assure that the cells are maintained in an environment in which they are protected requires purchasing the right incubator for your specific needs. NuAire explores the key considerations when purchasing a CO2 incubator, including the incubator's location, how to reduce the risk of contamination, cleaning and construction, and the advantages and disadvantages of water-jacket vs. direct-heat CO2 incubators.

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins.

Incubators are necessary equipment for cell culture and microbial research. Control temperature with heated or refrigerated incubators, or the levels of CO<sub>2</sub> and oxygen with CO<sub>2</sub> incubators. Using environmental chambers, create a humid climate for testing samples.
