CB 150 CO2 Incubator – Hot Air Sterilization and Infrared CO2 Measurement for Cell Culture
The CB 150 CO2 incubator is a cutting-edge piece of equipment designed to meet the highest demands of modern cell culture. This incubator offers the perfect combination of technology, reliability, and ease of use to ensure precise and reproducible results in the most demanding research environments. Designed to provide stable and controlled conditions, the CB 150 stands out with its drift-free infrared CO2 measurement system, which helps maintain constant pH values and facilitates optimal control of biological processes.
One of the key features of this incubator is its Permadry™ interior chamber, which eliminates condensation, providing a healthier and cleaner culture environment. This technology also minimizes the risk of contamination and keeps the internal walls dry, thus reducing sites where germs can develop. The chamber’s design has been optimized for easy cleaning, with minimal surface contact, simplifying maintenance.
The CB 150 is equipped with a hot air sterilization system that operates at 180°C, in compliance with DIN 58947 and ANSI standards, ensuring effective sterilization and contamination-free conditions. This sterilization process is designed to be carried out overnight, ensuring complete disinfection without interrupting the culture process during the day. This makes it an ideal choice for long-term cultures or applications requiring consistent sterility.
The incubator is also equipped with an MCS (Master Control System) controller that precisely regulates temperature and CO2 concentration for optimal cell culture. The model offers a temperature range from 7°C above ambient temperature to 60°C, with exceptional thermal accuracy and low-temperature fluctuation, ensuring a stable environment for your cells. The fast recovery time after door opening ensures continuous stability, even in variable laboratory conditions.
The CB 150 offers an intuitive user interface through its user-friendly LCD screen. The guided menu makes navigation easy, and the parameter recording system allows real-time viewing of process data such as temperature, CO2 concentration, and humidity. This model also features an electronic diagnostic system that provides visual and audible alerts in case of anomalies, allowing for constant monitoring of the equipment. Additionally, it includes an independent thermal safety device that protects against overheating, with a visual and audible alarm to alert the user.
For easy integration into data management systems, the CB 150 features an RS 422 interface compatible with APT-COM™ DataControlSystem software, making it compliant with GMP/GLP and FDA 21 CFR Part 11 guidelines. It also includes three stainless steel perforated shelves, providing ample storage capacity for cell culture applications, and can be stacked with other units using a stacking adapter.
In summary, the CB 150 CO2 incubator is a trusted choice for researchers and laboratories that require a reliable and efficient solution for cell culture. With its CO2 measurement technologies, hot air sterilization system, Permadry™ chamber, and thermal precision, it offers exceptional performance and safety, while being easy to maintain and use. This model is ideal for demanding culture environments where sterility, precision, and reproducibility are essential.
