SHEL LAB High Heat Auto Decontamination CO2 Incubator
SCO6AD_Broch
ure
SCO Series: SCO6AD
Ideal for Clinical, Analytical, and General Laboratory Applications
The SCO6AD unit provides an optimized culturing environment with passive humidification, highly stable CO2 levels, and tight
temperature uniformity to safeguard your cell sample populations.
Features and Benefits
Copper gas plumbing, a high-heat auto decontamination cycle, and a glass viewing door gives the SCO6AD enhanced protection
against microbiological contamination.

4
Stainless steel interior construction
for long life operation, easy cleaning.
5
Heated Copper CO2 inlet to promote
temperature uniformity and reduce the
risks of contamination and condensation.
6
Autoclavable shelving system.
7
Auto decontamination cycle designed to
stop microbial contamination caused by
mycetozoa, yeast, viruses, bacteria, and
a variety of other microorganisms.
8
Heated door to ensure superior
temperature uniformity.
9
Sealed inner glass door allows
for viewing without disturbing the
critical growth atmosphere and
allows for improved gas utilization
and condensate reduction.
Unique air jacketed design provides
10
excellent temperature uniformity of
+/-0.25°C at 37 °C.
+
Safety certified CAN/CSA, UL, EN,
IEC 61010, and compliant with CE.
Made in the USA
Contamination Control
Extensive use of copper in the CO2 sample port, humidity reservoir, and
heated CO2 feed line 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 additional contamination control.
Applications:
• Cell Culture
• Tissue Culture
• Food Analysis
• Stem Cells
• Microbiology
• Plant Cell Culture

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.
