SCO Series - Air Jacketed Units
SHEL LAB CO2 Incubators
Ideal for Clinical, Analytical, and General Laboratory Applications
SCO air jacketed CO2 incubators provides an optimized culturing environment with passive humidification, highly stable CO
levels, and tight temperature uniformity to safeguard your cell sample populations.
Features and Benefits
Copper gas plumbing, stainless steel interior, and a glass viewing door gives the SCO5A and SCO10A enhanced protection
against microbiological contamination.

Contamination Control
Extensive use of copper in the CO2 sample port, humidity reservoir,
heated CO2 feed line, and housing of the patented HEPA filtration
system adds reassurance that foreign microbes will not aect test
results. Cleanup is a breeze with the all stainless steel chamber, coved
corners, and autoclavable door gasket. Optional copper shelves are
available for even more contamination control.

Control, Feedback, and Monitoring
The advanced PID (proportional, integral, derivative) controller commands proportional power to the heating elements and CO
injection frequency to provide the most accurate and responsive control. Each controller is matched to the incubator chamber
volume to assure faster response to setpoint without overshoot and quicker recovery following door openings. Indicator lights
are included for visual status feedback on critical functions.
Integrated Control Panel
All controls are centrally located on the main panel including manual power, independent over temperature control, digital
temperature/CO2 adjustments, and indicator lights for all functions.
