CO2 Incubators ST-45 and ST-180

Benchmark SureTherm™ CO2 Incubators

Benchmark’s SureTherm™ CO2 Incubators provide an ideal environment for cell cultures, offering precise temperature and CO2 control to optimize growth conditions. Equipped with advanced features like the patented IncuView™ LCI (Live Cell Imaging) technology, these incubators allow for real-time monitoring of live cells without removal from the incubator, minimizing the risk of contamination and maintaining stable temperature and CO2 levels.

Key Features:

• IncuView™ LCI (Live Cell Imaging): The integrated internal microscope enables viewing of live cells in real-time on a large, integrated display or remotely via a tablet, computer, or WiFi-enabled device. This feature eliminates the need to remove samples from the incubator, preventing temperature fluctuations and contamination risk.
• Precise CO2 and Temperature Control: With precise control over temperature (ambient +5°C to 60°C) and CO2 levels (0 to 20%), the SureTherm™ incubators create an optimal environment for cell growth. The incubator’s dual beam infrared CO2 sensor ensures accurate CO2 measurement and maintains consistent growth conditions.
• Advanced Heat Distribution: A unique 6-sided direct heating system ensures rapid temperature recovery and consistent heat distribution, while the heated door and frame prevent condensation on the glass.
• High Heat Decontamination Cycle: The 180L models come with a high-heat decontamination cycle that can heat the chamber up to 125°C to reduce the risk of contamination.
• Split Inner Door: The innovative split inner door design reduces contamination risks by allowing external door access without disrupting the internal environment. This feature is available on 180L models.
