90°C Moist Heat Sterilization for CO₂ Incubators


Advanced Contamination Control for Your Cell Cultures

In sensitive cell culture studies, the greatest risk comes from invisible enemies: microorganisms such as bacteria, yeast, and fungi. When conventional cleaning methods fall short, the automatic sterilization systems offered by modern CO₂ incubators come into play.

Among these systems, 90°C Moist Heat Sterilization stands out as a gold-standard solution that combines effectiveness and safety.


What Is 90°C Moist Heat Sterilization?

This technology is based on a fully automatic decontamination cycle in which the incubator chamber is saturated with high humidity and the temperature is raised to 90°C.

Thanks to the power of moist heat, a large proportion of contaminants, including stubborn spores, are effectively eliminated without the need for much higher temperatures (such as 180°C dry heat sterilization).


Why Choose 90°C Moist Heat Sterilization?

Moist heat provides proven and reliable decontamination by disrupting the cellular structure of microorganisms at lower temperatures compared to dry heat.

The 90°C temperature level is a safe limit for internal incubator components such as sensitive CO₂ sensors and temperature probes. This eliminates the need to remove sensors prior to sterilization and prevents the risk of potential damage.

This method eliminates the need for manual cleaning with toxic or corrosive chemicals. As a result, user safety is improved and the service life of the incubator is preserved.

Automatic sterilization cycles, which can be initiated at the push of a button and are typically completed overnight, save valuable time. At the end of each cycle, a consistently high and reproducible level of hygiene is achieved.
