Hepa Filter (13130 bytes)Our New HEPA Filter Option Controls CO2 Incubator 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).

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.
