BBD 6220 CO₂ Incubator

Protect cell culture samples from contamination and achieve reproducible results with the Thermo Scientific™ BBD 6220 CO2 incubator , which features active humidification control and an integral high-temperature sterilization cycle.

Overview

Overview

CO2 Sensor: TC Sensor; O2 Range (Oxygen Concentration): Optional 3 to 90%; Temperature Range: Ambient +5°C to 50°C

Protect cell culture samples from contamination and achieve reproducible results with the Thermo Scientific™ BBD 6220 CO2 incubator , which features active humidification control and an integral high-temperature sterilization cycle.

  • Active humidification system provides permanent sterilization of the complete vapor generation systems
  • External water reservoir allows continuous thermal decontamination by cyclically heating it to 80°C
  • Fully automated interior disinfection with 180°C hot air
  • Precise CO2 regulation (0 to 20%) via TC sensor with periodic auto-zero calibration
  • Auto-start function adjusts internal space to preset incubation conditions
  • Microprocessor and a platinum resistance element sensor temperature for consistency
  • Capacitive probe regulates humidity between 60 and 95% rH
  • Second completely independent controller with its own temperature sensor takes over functions in the event of a fault
  • Audio/visual alarm and diagnostics warn of any deviation from set parameters

Thermo Scientific CO₂ Incubators

Simple handling and contamination prevention

Explore the potential of these Thermo Scientific CO2 Incubators – designed to be an economical option with advanced features and outstanding contamination prevention options. Each one is backed by high-quality engineering and offers a reliable CO2 incubation chamber for cell culture excellence.

Minimize the risk of contamination

Midi Model

The Thermo Scientific Midi model has a 40 L capacity. It is our smallest CO2 incubator – designed specifically for cell culture scientists who require a compact culturing workspace to handle small workloads, perform personal use applications, or simply address limited space environments.

Cytoperm 2

The Cytoperm 2 CO2 Incubator meets stringent requirements essential in drug and vaccine research and development. It offers 180 °C high-temperature sterilization, a unique pyrolytic germ barrier in the humidification system that sterilizes water before it enters the chamber, and a reliable air jacketed heating system. A Tri-Gas model with 6 segmented inner doors is also available.

BB 15

Thermo Scientific BB 15 CO₂ Incubators have a simple and modern design, precise temperature and CO₂ control for optimal growth conditions and a powerful humidification system for short recovery times. Designed with contamination prevention in mind, this model is easy-to-clean and can be purchased with a 100% pure copper interior for permanent contamination control.

BBD6220

The Thermo Scientific BBD6220 CO₂ Incubator is ideal for environments that demand the highest levels of sample integrity including cancer research, tissue engineering and immunology. It offers a large inner chamber at 220 L, an external humidity water supply with a continuous thermal decontamination system and 180 °C high-temperature sterilization for confidence in contamination prevention.
