CO2 incubators from the APT.line™

C 150

The new STANDARD in CO2 incubators

The C 150 sets new standards for cell cultivation: contamination-free as a result of hot air sterilization at 180 °C, stable pH thanks to a drift-free FPI infrared measurement system, superior temperature precision with excellent dynamics, and an interior that is condensation-free even at high humidity levels to ensure best growth results. Used stand alone or as a stack the C 150 is easily accessible.

All technical data is specified for units with standard equipment at an ambient temperature of  25 °C (77 °F) and a mains voltage fluctuation of +5%/-10%. The temperature data is determined in accordance to factory standard following DIN 12880, observing the recommended wall clearances of 10 % of the height, width, and depth of the inner chamber. Technical data refers to 100 % fan speed. All indications are average values, typical for units produced in series. We reserve the right to alter technical  specifications at all times.
