Description

The SHEL LAB SCO Series Water Jacketed CO₂ Incubators deliver exceptional thermal stability and uniform CO₂ distribution for laboratories performing critical cell, tissue, and microbiological culture work. With advanced PID microprocessor control, these incubators maintain a consistent 37°C environment with 0.1°C accuracy, making them ideal for sensitive growth protocols such as stem cell research, IVF, and regenerative medicine.

Unlike air-jacketed systems, the SCO series uses a triple-wall water jacket that provides long-lasting thermal buffering—even during power interruptions. Interior airflow is gentle and uniform, reducing contamination risk and protecting delicate cultures. Available in multiple chamber capacities ranging from SCO2W (1.5 cu. ft.) to SCO6WE-2 (6.5 cu. ft.), including double-door models for added temperature stability and viewing without disturbance.

With seamless chambers, integrated alarms, and an optional IR CO₂ sensor for enhanced precision, the SCO series ensures optimal incubation environments for high-stakes biological research.
