HOW TO KEEP YOUR CO2 INCUBATOR FUNCTIONING OPTIMALLY

Culturing mammalian cells in a lab is important for biomedical research. Mammalian cellular cultures serve as important in vitro models where lab experiments and tests are conducted on cellular tissue outside a living organism, thereby foregoing the need for in vitro studies to be conducted on living organisms until any potential side effects are known. While mammalian cells are extensively used in biomedical research, they tend to be rather delicate, and therefore a specialized environment, typically within a CO2 incubator, is required to grow the cells. However, in order to successfully culture mammalian cells, the CO2 incubator needs to be functioning optimally and special care needs to be taken to prevent contamination of the cellular culture. Follow the tips outlined below to optimize the environment within your CO2 incubator.
