How Clean Is the Air Inside Your CO₂ Incubator?

Some manufacturers equip their incubators with a HEPA filter and claim to provide ISO Class 5 (Class 100) clean air conditions inside the chamber. However, it takes more than simply placing a small HEPA filter inside the chamber to protect your cultures from airborne contaminants.

At a minimum, a CO2 incubator should provide:

• A large, full-face HEPA filter to provide the most efficient particle capture
• Vertical, unidirectional downflow air to prevent turbulence that stirs up contaminants
• Quick recovery from door openings (less than 60 seconds)
