4. Anaerobic incubator
Anaerobic glove box, or anaerobic incubator, is one of the internationally recognized excellent instruments for cultivating anaerobic bacteria. It is an airtight large metal box with a transparent panel made of plexiglass in the front, and two gloves are installed on the panel. The gloves can be used to operate inside the box, hence the name.
Anaerobic incubator is a special device for bacterial cultivation and operation in an anaerobic environment. It can provide strict anaerobic conditions with constant temperature cultivation conditions and a systematic and scientific working area.
Features: Oxygen free control, temperature control
This product is a special device that can cultivate and operate bacteria in an anaerobic environment. It can cultivate the most difficult to grow anaerobic organisms, while avoiding the risk of death due to contact with oxygen when operating anaerobic organisms in the atmosphere. Therefore, this device is an ideal tool for anaerobic biological detection research.
5. Constant temperature incubator
The thermostatic incubator is suitable for ordinary bacterial culture and closed cell culture, and is often used to preheat equipment and reagents related to cell culture.
Features: Heating control, without refrigeration.
The thermostatic incubator is divided into a water resistant thermostatic incubator and an electrically heated thermostatic incubator.
Water-proof electrothermal thermostatic incubator:
The heating pipe heats the water in the interlayer, using the convection of water to form a four-sided heating, effectively ensuring heating uniformity. Temperature control range: room temperature+5 ℃ - 60 ℃, can only stabilize the temperature above room temperature, without refrigeration.
The water jacket can still maintain a good constant temperature in the event of power failure, and two temperature control methods, namely, a microcomputer intelligent temperature controller and a bimetallic plate regulator, are used.
6. Carbon dioxide incubator
The carbon dioxide incubator is a device that simulates the formation of a growth environment similar to that of cells/tissues in an organism in the incubator. The incubator requires a stable temperature (37 ℃), a stable CO2 level (5%), a constant pH (pH: 7.2-7.4), and a high relative saturation and humidity (95%) to culture cells/tissues in vitro.
Users around the world have two basic requirements for carbon dioxide incubators. One is that carbon dioxide incubators can provide the most accurate and stable control of temperature, carbon dioxide concentration, and humidity to facilitate the progress of their research work; The second is to require carbon dioxide incubators to be able to effectively prevent microbial contamination within the incubator, and to regularly eliminate contamination to protect research results and prevent sample loss. Therefore, teachers who choose to purchase carbon dioxide incubators are of course most concerned about their high reliability, prevention and control of pollution, and ease of use.
Features: Temperature control, generally only with heating, high-temperature sterilization, individual refrigeration, CO2 level control, pH control, humidity control
Carbon dioxide incubators are widely used in cell and tissue culture, as well as the cultivation of certain special microorganisms. They are commonly used in research fields such as cell kinetics research, collection of mammalian cell secretions, carcinogenic or toxicological effects of various physical and chemical factors, research and production of antigens, production of antibodies by culturing heterozygous tumor cells, in vitro fertilization (IVF), stem cells, tissue engineering, drug screening, and so on.
Carbon dioxide incubator is a new type of incubator that cannot be replaced by ordinary electric heating thermostatic incubator. Due to the addition of carbon dioxide concentration control and the use of a microcontroller to accurately control the temperature of the incubator, the success rate and efficiency of the cultivation of biological cells, tissues, etc. have been improved.
