Description

Thermo Scientific BB 15 CO2 Incubator for reliable cell culture

The Thermo Scientific BB 15 CO2 Incubator offers high-quality contamination prevention at an affordable price. With a total volume of approximately 151 litre, you culture cell and tissue cultures under stable conditions. Additionally, the unit combines precise temperature and CO2 control with a powerful humidification system. As a result, your cultures grow under optimal, reproducible conditions.

Minimal surface, less contamination

The BB 15 chamber is designed with a minimal contamination-prone surface area. The unit has no air ducts and no duplicate side walls. Moreover, the shelf system is reduced to the absolute minimum and the water pan is eliminated. As a result, the BB 15 has up to 50% less surface than comparable incubators.

Precise temperature and CO2 control

A precise Pt 1000 temperature sensor controls the air jacket heating for a constant temperature. In case of failure, a second circuit takes over control and keeps the temperature at the preset value. Additionally, a reliable TCD sensor measures the CO2 concentration, which is auto-calibrated on every auto-start routine.

Powerful humidification and fast recovery

The bottom of the chamber serves as a water reservoir instead of a separate water pan. Therefore, a greater water surface area enables quick evaporation, supported by direct heat transfer from the bottom. As a result, the cabinet reaches a constant humidity of at least 95% with a recovery time of up to 30 minutes.

Inner chamber of your choice and easy to clean

You choose between a stainless steel or a solid copper inner chamber. In the copper version, the chamber, shelf system, fan and fan housing are made of solid copper. Copper provides continuous bactericidal and fungicidal protection on contact, ideal for shared use. The electropolished surface with coved corners is easy to clean.

Frequently asked questions

What makes the BB 15 CO2 Incubator contamination-resistant?

The BB 15 chamber has no air ducts, no duplicate side walls and no water pan. As a result, the unit has up to 50% less surface than comparable incubators, which lowers the contamination risk.

Should I choose a stainless steel or copper inner chamber?

Stainless steel is robust and easy to clean thanks to the electropolished surface. Copper additionally provides continuous bactericidal and fungicidal protection on contact. Therefore, you choose copper mainly in shared laboratories.

How does the humidification system work?

The bottom of the chamber serves as a water reservoir instead of a separate water pan. Therefore, a greater water surface area enables quick evaporation. As a result, the cabinet reaches a constant humidity of at least 95%.

How quickly does the BB 15 recover after a door opening?

After a 30-second door opening, the temperature recovers within ten minutes and the CO2 within five minutes to 98% of the initial value. As a result, your cultures remain under stable conditions.

How does the BB 15 control temperature reliably?

A precise Pt 1000 sensor controls the air jacket heating. In case of failure, a second circuit takes over and keeps the temperature at the preset value. Therefore, the cabinet protects your samples even during a fault.
