Water is Life – Even in CO₂ Incubators

There are a variety of CO₂ incubators on the market. Every manufacturer claims to create optimal and reproducible conditions for the cultivation of living organisms in its device. In everyday laboratory work, however, the lack of reliable moisture management repeatedly leads to falsification of the test results or even to total losses due to contaminated interiors.

This white paper is dedicated to the presentation of the physical and constructive interactions in a CO₂ incubator. It shows that all technical components in a CO₂ incubator must work together to maintain the sensitive system of temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide and oxygen.
