March 2010
The new INB-203 CO2 incubators from IKS International are ideal for applications in in vitro fertilisation (IVF), cell culture, haematology and cell biology. The INB-203 is a direct-heat incubator with a capacity of 42 L and a temperature range from ambient +5°C to 60°C. For those needing lower temperatures, the INB-203C has the added facility of Peltier cooling down to ambient –5°C.

The design of the INB-203 range shows careful attention to detail. The combination of heating from all six internal surfaces with fan-assisted circulation means that temperature and CO2 levels stabilise quickly and good temperature accuracy (±0.25°C at 37°C) is achieved. As an option, the inner glass door can be subdivided into six sections (eight in the case of the INB-203XL) to minimise environmental impact on sensitive samples when the door is opened. The INB-203 range is fully compatible with IKS’s XiltriX laboratory monitoring system. The inner chamber has rounded corners to facilitate cleaning and is condensation-free, helping to reduce the risk of contamination.
