So-Low | CO2 Air-Jacketed Laboratory Incubators | HEPA Filtration, Anti-Contamination, and Large-Capacity Tissue Culture Solutions
At Alto Med Supply, we offer the So-Low CO2 Air-Jacketed Laboratory Incubators, engineered for precise temperature and CO2 control, reliable contamination management, and long-lasting performance.
These incubators are designed to meet a wide range of laboratory applications, from high-volume tissue culture to cell harvesting.
The compact SCO5A model features a slim, lightweight design that is easy to reposition, with three temperature control zones, main chamber, external door, and front liner, ensuring consistent temperature uniformity and minimal condensation.
A HEPA filtration system removes 99.97% of airborne microbes and particulates 0.3 microns or larger, while the patented copper housing neutralizes trapped microbes.
Anti-contamination features include a stainless steel chamber with easy-to-clean coved corners, the Quick Clean Shelf System for tool-free disassembly in under a minute, and a Non-Tip Shelf System to prevent spills.
For larger laboratory needs, the SCO31, SCO40, and SCO58 models provide generous floor-model capacity, optimized for roller bottle apparatus and high-volume tissue culture operations.
Each unit features a chamber floor designed for easy equipment movement, gentle mechanical air convection for uniform temperature distribution, and an infrared CO2 control system for fast recovery after door openings, unaffected by temperature or humidity changes.
These incubators include multiple interior electrical outlets and adjustable stainless steel shelves to maximize workspace and versatility.
With their combination of precise environmental control, anti-contamination safeguards, and user-friendly design, So-Low CO2 Air-Jacketed Laboratory Incubators are an ideal choice for laboratories seeking performance, efficiency, and reliability.
