 Tech Compare: CO2 Incubator Decontamination Systems

Cell culture contamination is a common problem that can have serious consequences for biology labs. In addition to time and financial losses from discarded cultures and disrupted experiments, contamination also has the potential to lead to erroneous identifications and inaccurate results. The CO2 incubator is one area where cultures may be exposed to contaminants, especially considering that the growth conditions for cell cultures can also promote the propagation of unwanted microbes. While some contamination can be prevented through best practices such as regular cleaning, maintaining filters and keeping incubator doors closed as much as possible, additional decontamination technologies can provide more robust protection against a range of unwanted microorganisms.
