Astec APM-30DR Personal CO2 Incubator with Water Jacket and Digital PID Temperature Control

The Astec APM-30DR Personal CO2 Incubator is designed for precise and stable cell culture environments essential in biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and bioprocessing workflows. Featuring a water jacket heating system (11 L) combined with advanced digital PID temperature control, it maintains tight thermal uniformity within ±0.1°C over a temperature range from room temperature ±5°C up to 50°C, minimizing the impact of ambient temperature fluctuations. The incubator provides a 32-liter chamber capacity, accommodating multiple culture vessels with easy-to-remove, tool-free sterilizable shelves.

Equipped with automatic gas calibration technology, the device periodically calibrates its infrared CO2 sensor within 12 hours of startup, ensuring accurate CO2 concentration control critical for cell viability and reproducibility in gene editing, synthetic biology, and molecular cloning applications. Safety alarms monitor water level, over-temperature conditions, and abnormal CO2 gas concentration to ensure secure operation.

Ideal for personalized use, the incubator reduces cross-contamination risk and mix-ups by offering a dedicated culture environment, widely utilized in live-cell imaging, neuroscience research, and clinical diagnostics. Its natural evaporation humidity system maintains optimal moisture without complex maintenance. Rated for AC 100V, 5A at 50/60Hz operation, this benchtop incubator weighs 28 kg and measures 410 mm (W) × 402 mm (D) × 500 mm (H).

Note: This unit is sold as used, maintained by the manufacturer, without a mobile cart, and supports CO2 incubation only. Performance may vary from original new specifications. This model is critical for researchers seeking reliable incubation conditions in biotechnology and biomanufacturing processes.
