Product Description
Model SCO6WE is Shel-Lab's basic water-jacketed CO2 incubator and is ideal for laboratories with tight budgets. It provides the benefits of contamination control and uncompromising temperature uniformity for even the most demanding incubations. Although they do not have a humidity display, the extremely stable temperature environment maintains constant humidity through evaporation at up to 95% (request pricing on Model SCO5W which has a humidity display). This is also available as a double-stacked unit.
These units have PID microprocessor controllers, a heated outer door, optional reversible door and a tempered-glass inner door. They provide exceptional temperature uniformity, while minimizing cold spots that lead to condensation and ultimately, contamination. The audible/visual alarms for temperature and CO2 respond to out-of-tolerance conditions. They offer an independent overtemperature safety control to protect samples from overheating, and an optional CO2 tank switch/alarm to prevent prematurely exhausting the gas supply. Extensive use of copper in the CO2 sample port, heated CO2 feed line, and humidity pan with a copper SL decontamination token, adds reassurance that foreign microbes will not affect test results. Cleanup is a breeze with the all stainless steel chamber, and autoclavable door gasket. Optional copper shelves are available for even more contamination control.
