Direct Heat Versus Water Jacket Carbon Dioxide Incubators: Which One is the Best Fit for Your Research?

CO₂ incubators are key equipment for biological and medical laboratories. They enable the necessary environmental control and isolate cell cultures from external conditions and contamination. Control focuses on three major factors: temperature, relative humidity and carbon dioxide. This whitepaper compares the balance of these three factors between direct heat and water jacket CO₂ incubators.
