Air-jacketed CO2 incubator SCA-165DRS with IR CO2 sensor, 163L volume, ±0.3°C temp stability, 95% RH humidity.
The Astec SCA-165DRS is an air-jacketed CO2 incubator designed for precise environmental control in biotechnology and molecular diagnostics applications. It features an infrared (IR) CO2 sensor delivering accurate CO2 concentration regulation within a range of 0% to 20.0% with ±0.1% stability, essential for cell culture incubation and live-cell imaging workflows. The incubator offers a 163-liter internal volume with uniform temperature distribution maintained at ±0.3°C within a broad control range of room temperature plus 5°C up to 50.0°C, supporting various bioprocessing and synthetic biology protocols.
Humidity control is provided via natural evaporation maintaining 95%±3% relative humidity, which is critical for maintaining cell viability during long-term incubation. The device allows dry heat sterilization between 60°C and 140°C with ±3.0°C uniformity, enabling in-situ decontamination cycles essential for clinical diagnostics and biomanufacturing laboratories. A standard 29 mm diameter access port facilitates integration of additional sensors or sampling without disrupting the controlled atmosphere.
Measuring 62.5 cm wide, 63.5 cm deep, and 91.5 cm high, and weighing 85 kg, this incubator requires an AC 100V power supply rated at 9A. Sold as a used unit, the incubator is offered in an as-is condition; users should verify performance parameters prior to incorporation into regulated laboratory workflows. The unit excludes the transport dolly, so professional handling is recommended.
This air-jacketed CO2 incubator is widely used in biotechnology research, specifically in gene editing incubations, molecular cloning environments, and biomedical engineering studies, facilitating precise environmental control for sensitive cell-based assays and bioprocessing tasks.
Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.
We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.
We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.
With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.
Often, yes. Verified suppliers frequently work with service partners converting the instrument. If applicable, we can list servicing options alongside the offer.
Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.
Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.
We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
Tell us what you need and a scientist finds it for you, usually within the hour.
