POL-EKO CARBON DIOXIDE INCUBATOR

The ILC 260 SMART PRO is the ideal solution for your laboratory!

CO2 incubators are units designed to provide optimum conditions for cell growth and tissue culture.

Pol-eko ILC series CO2 incubator

Very precise temperature control, suitable humidity and CO2 concentration are the undeniable advantages of this product.

The CO2 incubators are equipped with SMART PRO, the most advanced controller, created for the most demanding customers. An intuitive menu and user-friendly software are among its many advantages.

ILC 180/260 SMART PRO incubators comprehensively protect the tested load and allow hot-air sterilisation up to 180 °C, ensuring that every new test starts in a clean unit. In addition, the absence of a fan eliminates potential contamination of the samples, and the inner chamber design with rounded corners and edges makes cleaning easy. The inner glass door allows the load to be viewed without the risk of changing the conditions in the chamber.

Advantages of the CO2 incubators:

• Lockable handle with key
• Main power switch flush with the housing prevents accidental switching off of CO2
• CO2 gas mixing jet with Venturi effect for faster atmosphere mixing and more uniform CO2 distribution
• Multiple temperature sensors for accurate measurement
• Magnetic handle for ergonomic opening of the inner door
• Rack with perforated shelves for optimum shelf positioning
• Two access ports (Ø30 mm), one in the left wall and one in the back, both sealed with silicone plugs
• Silicone gasket
• Water tray for optimum humidity
• Open door sensor
• Height-adjustable feet

Contamination protection:

• Hot-air sterilisation at 180 °C
• Fanless design
• Smooth, easy-to-clean stainless steel interior with rounded corners
• Sterilisable, drift-free infrared CO2 sensor
• Inner glass door for viewing samples without changing chamber conditions
• No hidden areas

Save space in your laboratory

ILC 260 SMART PRO incubators are stackable: two units can be stacked on top of each other using the optional stacking adapter, which prevents the transfer of heat, shocks and vibrations from one unit to the other. A base with castors makes it easy to move the incubator from one place to another and is also recommended to prevent dirt from the floor contaminating the chamber.

CO2 incubators are essential instruments in biological, medical and scientific laboratories, allowing control of the conditions for culturing cells, tissues or embryos. Through precise control of carbon dioxide (CO2) levels, temperature and humidity, CO2 incubators provide optimum conditions for cell growth and reproduction. Suitable environmental parameters inside the incubator are crucial for maintaining the health and functionality of cultured cells and thus for the success of scientific experiments.

In laboratory practice, CO2 incubators are used in fields such as molecular biology, genetics, microbiology and regenerative medicine. For example, in research on new drugs, CO2 incubators are used to culture cancer cells for testing potential anticancer substances. In regenerative medicine, they are used to culture stem cells that can later be used in regenerative therapies.

An important aspect of working with a CO2 incubator is maintaining sterility inside the unit to prevent contamination of cultures by bacteria, fungi or viruses. For this reason CO2 incubators are equipped with various disinfection systems such as UV radiation, air filtration or heating systems to keep the culture environment pure.

In summary, CO2 incubators are key instruments in scientific laboratories, enabling control of the conditions for cell, tissue or embryo culture. Through precise control of environmental parameters, they provide optimum conditions for cell growth and reproduction, which translates into successful scientific experiments.
