High-Capacity Performance for Demanding Labs

Designed to handle large workloads, the SCO40 offers over 1,100 liters of usable chamber space—perfect for roller bottles, flasks, microplates, and bulk culture applications. A flip-out ramp and multiple shelving configurations make loading and workflow management easy, even at full capacity.

Precise CO₂ & Temperature Control

Equipped with a fast-response infrared (IR) CO₂ sensor, the SCO40 quickly restores CO₂ levels after door openings, maintaining a stable environment critical for sensitive cell cultures. The air jacket system ensures excellent temperature uniformity (±0.5°C at 37°C) and stability (±0.1°C), minimizing fluctuations that can impact results.

Optimized for Cell Culture Applications

With humidity levels up to 95% and a controlled CO₂ range (typically 1–20%), the SCO40 provides the ideal environment for cell growth, tissue culture, and bioprocessing. Its consistent internal conditions help protect samples from environmental shock and contamination risks.

Durable, Cleanable Interior

The corrosion-resistant stainless-steel chamber is designed for long-term use and easy cleaning, helping maintain sterile conditions. A built-in viewing window allows users to monitor samples without disrupting the internal environment.

User-Friendly, Reliable Operation

A digital controller with high-resolution display enables precise adjustments and easy monitoring. Integrated alarms for temperature and CO₂ deviations provide added protection for valuable samples, while internal outlets support auxiliary equipment inside the chamber.

Why Choose the SCO40?

If your lab needs maximum capacity without sacrificing environmental control, the Shel Lab SCO40 delivers. Its combination of large chamber volume, precise CO₂ regulation, and dependable temperature performance makes it an excellent solution for scaling up cell culture operations while maintaining consistent, reproducible results.

Testing

This large capacity CO2 incubator is used and reconditioned. Our technicians test ovens using a digital data logger to verify the accuracy of temperature controls and readouts.

We use a Fyrite indicator to measure CO2 levels in the chamber and confirm the accuracy of the onboard display. We replace any hardware or parts as is necessary and clean all incubators thoroughly prior to shipment.

Additionally, if you have specific testing requirements or requests, please inform us. We will gladly work with you to address these requirements during testing.
