Astec SCA-165DS CO2 Incubator with Dry Heat Sterilization Function

The Astec SCA-165DS CO2 Incubator with integrated dry heat sterilization function offers precise environmental control essential for biotechnology and molecular diagnostics applications. Designed for cell culture, live-cell imaging preparation, and clinical research, this CO2 incubator maintains a stable temperature range from room temperature +5°C up to 50°C with a tight temperature uniformity of ±0.3°C, supporting sensitive bioprocessing workflows. The unit features four shelves within internal dimensions of 510×500×640 mm, accommodating various culture vessels with consistent environmental conditions. The CO2 concentration is finely controllable between 0–20% with ±0.1% accuracy, crucial for maintaining physiological culture conditions in synthetic biology and gene editing research.

The incorporated dry heat sterilization function operates from 60°C to 140°C, enabling in situ sterilization of the incubation chamber to minimize contamination risks, a critical factor in biomanufacturing and cell therapy development pipelines. The incubator supports flexible voltage input (AC100V, 120V, 220V, 230V), suitable for global laboratory environments. Despite being a used unit sold as-is, the Astec SCA-165DS remains a relevant tool for researchers requiring reliable CO2 incubation combined with sterilization capabilities for workflows in molecular cloning, cell-based assays, and biomedical engineering.
