Description
The SHEL LAB SCO Large-Capacity CO₂ Incubator Series is engineered for laboratories that demand high-throughput biological incubation with precise CO₂ and temperature control. With spacious interior volumes of 31, 40, and 58 cu. ft., these reach-in incubators are ideal for large-scale cell culture work, biopharmaceutical production, and academic research environments.
Featuring natural convection airflow, a seamless stainless steel interior, and PID microprocessor temperature regulation, the SCO series maintains critical environmental conditions for sensitive cultures. The dual-door configuration on select models allows users to view contents through an interior glass door without disrupting chamber stability.
The series supports a CO₂ range of 0–20% with T/C sensor standard and optional infrared sensor upgrade for maximum accuracy and reliability.
