FAQ's of ESCO CelCulture CO2 Incubator with High-Heat Sterilization, 170 L:
Q: How does the high-heat sterilization cycle work in the ESCO CelCulture CO2 Incubator?
A: The incubator offers a high-heat sterilization process by heating the chamber to 180C for up to 12 hours. This ensures thorough decontamination, eliminating bacteria, fungi, and spores, thus maintaining a sterile environment for sensitive cultures.
Q: What are the benefits of the infrared (IR) CO2 sensor in this incubator?
A: The IR CO2 sensor provides highly accurate and stable CO2 concentration readings, helping to maintain ideal conditions for cell and bacterial culture. This precise monitoring reduces drift and calibration frequency, improving experimental consistency.
Q: When should I use the data logging feature, and how do I access the data?
A: Data logging is valuable for monitoring and recording incubation parameters over time, aiding in quality control and compliance. You can access and download the logged data easily via the front USB port, allowing for straightforward transfer and analysis.
Q: Where is this incubator most commonly used?
A: The ESCO CelCulture CO2 Incubator is widely used in biotechnology, life sciences, and medical laboratories throughout India and beyond. Its robust design and compliance with ISO 13485 and CE standards make it suitable for research, clinical, and academic settings.
Q: What process ensures optimal temperature and CO2 control?
A: Both temperature and CO2 are regulated by independent microprocessor PID controllers, offering tight control over set parameters. This results in temperature uniformity of 0.3C at 37C and precise CO2 regulation within 0-20%, ensuring optimal growth environments.
Q: How do the alarm systems enhance safety during operation?
A: Visual and audible alarms promptly notify users of critical errors or parameter deviations, such as temperature or CO2 out of range. These alerts help prevent loss of valuable samples and support quick corrective action, thereby ensuring experimental integrity.
Q: What are the advantages of the triple-pane heated inner glass door?
A: The heated inner glass door minimizes condensation and thermal loss, while the triple-pane design ensures excellent insulation. This supports temperature stability inside the chamber and enhances visibility for users during sample inspection.
