CO2 Incubators

Hepa Filter Option Helps Control Contamination
From The Inside Out

Continuous Scrubbing Removes Airborne Particulates; Gentle Air Flow Maintains Desired Still Air Environment For Optimum Cell Culture Conditions

When routine door openings expose cell cultures to airborne particulates from your lab, optional HEPA filtration on Revco CO₂ incubators can dramatically improve air quality and protect cultures from contamination.

Simple and Effective
Continuous scrubbing helps trap airborne particulates greater or less than 0.3 microns, minimizing contamination from room air during door openings, helping control cross contamination within the chamber.

• The HEPA filter cleans the chamber atmosphere without high velocity airflow detrimental to the still air cell culture technique.
• The filter surface area is maximized to contain particulate build-up within the humidified incubator atmosphere.
• The disposable filter assembly snaps into the airflow prior to the blower; the filter is easy to replace, no tools are required, downtime is minimal.
• Also designed for quick, easy installation on many earlier model Revco incubators; contact Revco for details.
• Replacement filter kits include four (4) disposable filter assemblies (Catalog No. 6591; contact Revco for factory installation or retrofit part numbers).

If routine door openings expose cell cultures to airborne particulates from your lab, optional HEPA filtration can dramatically improve air quality and provide additional protection to cultures from contamination and cross contamination.

• With the Revco HEPA filter option, the humidified CO₂ atmosphere is continuously filtered to remove airborne particulates while maintaining still air culture technique without high-velocity airflow.
• The filter surface pleated to maximize surface area and extend filter life within the humidified interior
• The filter assembly snaps into place for quick, easy replacement.
• Replacement filters are available in packages of four; see Accessories (not available for use on Midi incubators).

Application Note: HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filters trap particulates smaller than (and greater than) the most penetrating particle size (0.3 microns) through the combined effect of inertial impaction, interception and diffusion. Although useful filter life and filter loading rate will vary, depending on general air quality, frequency of door openings, laboratory technique and incubator applications, Revco recommends filter replacement as part of your ongoing maintenance procedures.
