VWR 2300 Water Jacketed CO2 Incubator
The VWR 2300 Water Jacketed CO2 Incubator features the latest in microprocessor-controlled technology with a PID digital set point and digital display of temperature and CO2. User friendly keypad operation offers the ability to calibrate the display to a reference thermometer and fyrite. Once desired levels are set, the controls are automatic. This incubator utilizes a TC (thermal conductivity) sensor for controlling/measuring CO2 to within 0.3% and features a temperature range of Ambient +8°C to 60°C. The VWR 2300 also has the anti-corrosion anode and copper strip inside the water jacket to help prevent corrosion and contamination. The VWR 2300 Water Jacketed CO2 Incubator also features a user-adjustable safety controller that protects the samples and the unit in the unlikely event that the main temperature controller fails. The controls and CO2 systems in the dual chamber models are completely independent, permitting separate but simultaneous incubation processes. For lab safety and specimen protection, audible and visual alarms signal high/low temperature, high/low CO2 and low water jacket level. Other safety features include a circuit breaker and a tempered safety glass door. All of our equipment is fully tested to perform at factory specifications before being shipped.
The VWR 2300 Water Jacketed CO2 Incubator includes:
- > 3 Shelves
- > Drain Tray
- > NIST Calibration and Preventative Maintenance Report
- > Power Cord
- > Operator's Manual
- > Full 180 Day Parts and Labor Warranty

- Inspect the display for any dim, flickering, or dead pixels, replacing any affected areas to maintain full readability and operational clarity
- Thoroughly examine external regulators for any signs of damage, wear, or malfunction (if applicable), replacing any compromised parts
- Inspect temperature, CO₂, and H₂O sensors (if applicable), ensuring each sensor is functioning correctly and accurately reporting conditions
- Conduct a detailed inspection of all internal wiring for frays, tears, or breakages; replace any compromised wires to ensure safe and reliable connections
- Verify that software settings align with the internal components and calibration specifications, adjusting configurations as needed for accurate operation
- Inspect and clean the fan, ensuring it is free from dust or obstructions; replace if performance is below required standards
- Examine wheels and leveling mounts for structural integrity, ensuring proper balance and stability for safe operation
- Inspect door gaskets and latches for any signs of wear or damage, replacing if necessary to maintain a secure seal and optimal environmental control
- Calibrate temperature accuracy at 37°C using a NIST-traceable probe, confirming it meets required tolerances
- Calibrate CO₂ level to 5% using a Fyrite combustion test kit (if applicable), ensuring precise atmospheric conditions
- Monitor temperature and CO₂ stability over a 24-hour period, verifying consistent operation within specified ranges
- Conduct a thorough cosmetic inspection to confirm all external surfaces and components meet quality standards, free from visible damage or wear
