C180SE CO2 Incubator Sterilization Effectiveness Certification
Cell culture contamination is often the most commonly encountered problem in cell culture laboratories, sometimes with very serious consequences. Contaminants of cell culture can be divided into two main categories, chemical contaminants such as impurities in media, serum and water, endotoxins, plasticizers and detergents, and biological contaminants such as bacteria, molds, yeasts, viruses, mycoplasmas, and cross-contamination from other cell lines. Biological contamination is particularly defensible, and although it is impossible to completely eliminate contamination, its frequency and severity can be reduced by choosing a CO2 incubator with high heat sterilization function for regular disinfection and sterilization.
So how about the sterilization effect of CO2 incubator with high heat sterilization function? Let’s take a look at the test report of our’s C180SE CO2 incubator.
First of all, let’s take a look at the testing standards and the strains used, the strains used contain Bacillus subtilis spores which are more difficult to kill:
After sterilization according to the above standards, through the sterilization process curve, it can be seen that the heating speed is very fast, within half an hour to reach the sterilization temperature:
Finally, let’s confirm the effect of sterilization, the colony count after sterilization is all 0, which indicates that the sterilization is very thorough:
