Cultivo CO2 Incubator-2

Your work. Your cultures. Your way. How do you define optimal? You use CO2 incubators to provide optimal atmospheric conditions to protect, grow and maintain cell and tissue cultures. But how do you define optimal? Optimal is never a one-size-fits-all condition. It’s contextual. It’s driven by the research or the cell line. But – more importantly – it should be driven by you. Providing optimal conditions means you control the parameters of the particular environment in which your specific cells will thrive, or be challenged. You define the variables, not the incubator.

Cultivo CO2 Incubator-4

Protect Cultures from Contamination Baker Clean Air Technology With more than 60 years of innovation in contamination control technology, at Baker, we know how to prevent and control contamination. The design of Cultivo™ draws on this extensive experience to protect cultures against the threat of accidental contamination from a wide variety of sources due to everyday activities. Vertical, uni-directional downward airflow delivers better-than ISO Class 4 (Class 10) air to the chamber, keeping cultures safe from contaminants by sweeping them away and trapping them in the full-face HEPA filter....

Cultivo CO2 Incubator-5

Unmatched Control and Accuracy Cultivo™ provides users with precise control, as well as industry-leading stability, uniformity and recovery rates. Even with a full load, cultures grow consistently from shelf to shelf, for dependably high-quality, robust cells on every plate. InteliCELL™ proprietary PID control algorithm provides pinpoint, user-defined control over all three parameters (temperature, CO2 and relative humidity), with recovery not seen in other CO2 incubators. Uniform vertical downflow air circulation enhances the uniformity and stability of conditions inside the chamber without...

Cultivo CO2 Incubator-6

Active Humidity and Condensation Control No gimmicks. Most CO2 incubators only allow users to control two variables (temperature and CO2) and employ clever gimmicks for passively managing condensation formation. True active humidity and condensation control gives users the ability to define relative humidity in a simple, two-touch process. At Baker, we know that temperature, CO2 and relative humidity (RH) are each vital to providing optimal environmental conditions for cell growth. Our unique PID control algorithm, InteliCELL™, combined with highly precise sensor technology, allows Cultivo to...
