VWR Air Jacketed CO2 Incubator w/ Sterilization Cycle
The VWR Air Jacketed CO2 Incubator w/ Sterilization Cycle, Model #: 51014992 provides the selection, performance, and quality needed in today's cell culture laboratory. This CO2 Incubator offers two levels of security for your valuable cell cultures. HEPA filtration safeguards your cultures from airborne contaminants, the primary source of contamination in the lab, along with featuring a high heat sterilization cycle. This on-demand sterilization cycle provides a 12 hour cycle of heat at 140°C that eliminates contamination from internal surfaces, allowing for easy cleaning and reliable decontamination. This unit combines precise temperature and CO2 control with the use of a infrared sensor (IR sensor), making the VWR Air Jacketed CO2 Incubator w/ Sterilization Cycle an optimal choice for many different laboratory and cell culture applications. Please Note: The IR CO2 Sensor must be removed prior to running the Sterilization Cycle.
All of our equipment is fully tested to perform at factory
specifications before being shipped.
The VWR Symphony Air Jacketed CO2 Incubator w/ Sterilization Cycle, includes:
- > 3 Shelves
- > Drain Tray
- > New HEPA Filter
- > Calibration and Preventative Maintenance Report
- > Power Cord
- > Operator's Manual

- 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
