SCO10A Air Jacketed CO2 Incubators (284L)
Overview
The SCO10A SHEL LAB Air Jacketed CO₂ Incubator is a stacked dual-chamber version of the SCO5A, offering 10.0 Cu.Ft. (284 L) total capacity in a space-saving vertical design. It is ideal for high-throughput tissue and cell culture applications where contamination control and temperature uniformity are critical.
Each chamber features the same advanced air jacket technology, IR CO₂ sensor, and copper-caged HEPA filtration as the SCO5A. The stacked configuration doubles incubation capacity without increasing floor footprint — perfect for labs with limited bench space.
Independent control of each chamber allows simultaneous cultivation of different cell lines under different conditions. Data logging, heated doors, and autoclavable shelving are standard on both levels.
Key Advantages
- Dual-chamber stack: 284 L total capacity
- Same footprint as single SCO5A
- IR CO₂ sensor per chamber: recovery < 5 min
- ±0.25°C uniformity at 37°C per chamber
- Humidity up to 95% via evaporation
- Independent chamber control
- 5-year warranty / 7-year IR sensor
