Caron 7404-10 Stackable CO2 Incubator
Quote
The Caron 7404-10 Stackable CO2 Incubator represents a breakthrough in cell culture technology, combining advanced GelJacket thermal insulation with space-saving stackable design. This 10 cubic foot CO2 incubator delivers 1.5 times the culture capacity of standard benchtop incubators while maintaining a compact footprint ideal for laboratories with limited space. Engineered for pharmaceutical research, biotechnology applications, and clinical cell culture studies, the 7404-10 features patented dry hydrogen peroxide sterilization, controlled humidity vapor delivery, and precision temperature control from 10ยฐC above ambient to 60ยฐC. The innovative GelJacket active insulation technology surrounds the chamber with proprietary thermal gel, providing superior temperature stability and extended temperature hold during power interruptions compared to conventional water jacket or direct heat incubators.
Designed with researcher efficiency in mind, this stackable CO2 incubator features tool-free interior disassembly that can be completed in under three minutes, facilitating rapid cleaning and contamination prevention between experiments. The drift-resistant IR CO2 sensor ensures rapid recovery after door openings while maintaining ultra-stable gas concentrations critical for sensitive cell lines. Unlike traditional water pan humidification systems that create contamination risks, the Caron gVapor controlled humidity system delivers precise moisture control without standing water, reducing microbial growth potential. Advanced users benefit from the configurable digital touchscreen interface with breadcrumb navigation, preventive maintenance reminders, and customizable alarm settings that can be operated while wearing laboratory gloves.
Whether conducting long-term stem cell cultivation, primary cell culture, tissue engineering research, or pharmaceutical stability testing, the Caron 7404-10 provides the environmental control, contamination prevention, and operational flexibility demanded by modern life science laboratories. The stackable design allows multiple independent environments within a single laboratory footprint, while the cleanroom-ready construction with optional upgrade kits makes this incubator suitable for GMP facilities and controlled manufacturing environments. Optional accessories include additional shelving configurations, data logging systems, and specialized culture vessel supports to accommodate diverse research protocols.
