CO2 incubator shaker is a laboratory equipment that integrates functions of an incubator, a shaker, and CO2 control. It cultivates cell or tissue cultures in a controlled environment of temperature and humidity, facilitating mixing through oscillation and enhancing the transfer of oxygen and carbon dioxide. CO2 incubator shakers are typically used for experiments that require maintaining specific CO2 concentrations for cell cultures, tissue engineering research, drug screening, and similar applications.
-
Cell and Tissue Culture: It provides a controlled environment with precise temperature, humidity, and CO2 levels suitable for cultivating cell and tissue cultures.
-
Enhanced Mixing and Oxygen Transfer: Through oscillatory motion, it improves mixing of culture media, ensuring even distribution of cells or tissues and enhancing oxygen transfer efficiency.
-
Support for Cell Growth and Viability: Maintains optimal conditions for cell growth and viability by controlling CO2 levels critical for pH balance in the media.
-
Applications in Research and Biotechnology: Widely used in biomedical research, drug discovery, and biotechnology applications requiring controlled culture conditions and efficient mixing capabilities.
CO2 incubator shaker plays a crucial role in maintaining ideal growth conditions for cell cultures while facilitating uniform mixing, essential for various scientific and experimental purposes.
