Carbon dioxide laboratory incubator ICO105

CO2for cell culturesfor healthcare facilities

Overview
Controlled CO2 incubation for reproducible cell culture workflows. Precise temperature, CO2 and humidity management, hygienic design and networked control suited to laboratory and clinical environments.

Range of functions
Calibration: Three freely selectable setpoints: temperature, humidity and CO2
Interfaces: USB‑C; Ethernet LAN
Timer: Immediate start; SetpointWAIT (process time starts after all setpoints reached); Timer on Event (starts at defined time)
Language options: English (default), German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Arabic, Hindi, Polish, Czech, Hungarian, Russian, Italian, Serbian
Device functions: Date/time (time zones, summer/winter time); Display brightness; DistanceView (1–4 selectable parameters); Network settings (IP, subnet, DHCP); Language and buzzer settings; Power‑failure behaviour; Timer functions
Adjustable parameters: Temperature; CO2; Humidity (option K7); O2 (option T6)
Control unit: 6.86" IPS multi‑touch display (480 × 1280 px) showing actual/setpoint values and parameter curves.

O2 (with option T6)
Control: Anaerobic O2 control via filtered N2 inlet. Zirconium‑oxide sensor with monitoring and error display.
Adjustment precision: 0.1 %
Setting range: 1–20 % O2

Temperature
Heating: Large-area multi-zone all‑round heating with additional door, seal and rear heating
Setting range: +20 to +50 °C

Temporal fluctuation at 37 °C: ±0.1 K

Humidity
Humidification: Passive water tank with condensate return; Peltier element for humidity limitation. Option K7: active closed‑loop control with capacitive sensor. Humidification via self‑priming micro‑dosing pump with hot steam; dehumidification via diaphragm pump.
Accuracy (K7): 0.5 % RH
Setting range: 40–98 % RH and rh‑Off

CO2
Control: Dual‑beam NDIR CO2 sensor with integrated monitoring and pressure‑compensated measurement. Filtered CO2 supply.
Temporal fluctuation: ±0.2 %
Setting range: 0–20 % CO2

Safety
Power failure modes: Manual and program behaviours with retained parameters and defined continuation/query logic depending on duration
Temperature monitoring: Dual Pt1000 sensors DIN Class A with mutual monitoring and automatic takeover on fault
Alarms: visual and acoustic
