Choosing an incubator for cell culture research involves making a bundle of decisions about what parameters to control and how to control them. For example, is using direct heat or a water jacket the best way to control temperature for your application? What about using a thermal conductivity or infrared sensor to measure CO₂ inside the chamber? What features do you most want to help control contamination from compromising your cells? Lastly, no matter what model you choose, you will need to carefully decide where to install your incubator so that it can control its chamber conditions with minimal interference from other influences in the laboratory.
