Key considerations when purchasing a CO2 incubator

CO₂ incubators provide an optimum environment for tissue cell culture growth, and, when operated effectively, maintain cells for extended periods of time.

NuAire explores the key considerations when purchasing a CO₂ incubator, including the incubator's location, how to reduce the risk of contamination, cleaning and construction, and the advantages and disadvantages of water-jacket vs. direct-heat CO₂ incubators.
