A CO2 Refrigerated Incubator is a device used for the storage and growth of bacteria, cells, tissues, and other living organisms under controlled conditions using carbon dioxide. This model of incubator is equipped with a compressor, which enables it to control temperatures lower than ambient conditions. In addition to temperature control at lower settings, the CO2 incubator offers highly precise temperature control at various levels, ensuring optimal conditions for biological cultures.
This type of incubator is commonly used in medical, scientific research, and various industrial applications.
Key Features of the CO2 Refrigerated Incubator:
-
Functionality:
-
The incubator is designed to create optimal environmental conditions for the growth and multiplication of cells and microorganisms.
-
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is used as a nutrient gas for the cells, simulating the environment of living organisms.
-
Applications:
-
Medical Use: Incubators are utilized for the care of premature infants and neonatal intensive care units (NICUs).
-
Scientific Research: They are widely used for cell culture, drug testing, and biological studies.
-
Controlled Parameters:
-
Temperature: The incubator provides precise control of the internal temperature, essential for biological studies.
-
Humidity: Ensures the maintenance of appropriate moisture levels to prevent drying out of cultures.
-
Carbon Dioxide (CO2): Regulates the concentration of CO2, which is critical for maintaining the pH levels of cell culture media.
-
Types of Incubators:
Key Applications:
-
In Medicine: In addition to supporting premature infants, CO2 incubators are used in the cultivation of human cells for therapeutic and diagnostic purposes.
-
In Scientific Research: They are essential in cell culture, genetic studies, pharmacological experiments, and other biological research where precise environmental conditions are crucial.
Advantages:
-
Temperature Precision: The incubator can provide extremely accurate temperature regulation.
-
Stable CO2 and Humidity Control: These systems help maintain ideal conditions for the proper growth and development of cells and microorganisms.
-
Wide Range of Environmental Conditions: With adjustable settings, these incubators can accommodate various gas mixtures, including a range of CO2 concentrations.
Summary:
CO2 Refrigerated Incubators are highly specialized equipment used for maintaining controlled environments necessary for biological growth. Their precise temperature and CO2 control, along with the ability to simulate specific environmental conditions, make them indispensable in medical and scientific research fields.

The CO2 incubators with refrigerators are of high quality (comparable to foreign models) and offer very precise performance (with modern, highly sensitive, and safe sensors).
In the CO2 incubator with a refrigerator, due to the presence of cooling elements, thermal sterilization is not possible. Sterilization in these types of devices is carried out in two ways: 1) using UV lamps, and 2) by the user (using a cloth soaked in cleaning agents such as alcohol or similar).
