▍Use status of carbon dioxide incubator
At present, most carbon dioxide incubators generate moisture through the evaporation of the humidification plate (the relative humidity level can reach about 95%, but the humidity recovery speed is very slow after opening the door). Because the larger the humidity evaporation area, the easier it is to reach the maximum relative saturated humidity and the shorter the humidity recovery time after opening and closing the door. Therefore, the incubator with a large humidity evaporation area is easier to maintain the maximum relative saturated humidity than the incubator with a small humidity evaporation area.
Users all over the world have two basic requirements for carbon dioxide incubators. One is to require the carbon dioxide incubator to provide the most accurate and stable control of temperature, carbon dioxide concentration and humidity, so as to facilitate the progress of its research work; the other is to require carbon dioxide The incubator can effectively prevent microbial contamination in the incubator, and can eliminate contamination regularly to protect research results and prevent sample loss.
China's carbon dioxide incubator production technology is not very mature, and the technical level is not very high, and it cannot meet the needs of customers in some places with relatively high requirements.
In the industry field, the products of American VWR, German Memmert, American Shellab, German BINDER, Japanese Sanyo SANYO, German Heraeus, Swiss Salvis, American Thermo Fisher Scientific and other companies account for a large share in the international market. proportion.
▍Industrial chain of carbon dioxide incubator industry
The upstream of the carbon dioxide incubator industry chain is mainly composed of sensors, solenoid valves, stainless steel, glass, fans and other components, and the downstream is widely used in the research and production of microorganisms, medicine, pharmaceuticals, environmental protection, food, animal husbandry and other scientific fields. Commonly used in cell kinetics research, collection of mammalian cell secretions, carcinogenic or toxic effects of various physical and chemical factors, research and production of antigens, cultivation of hybridoma cells to produce antibodies, in vitro fertilization (IVF), stem cells, tissues Engineering, drug screening and other research fields.

▍Analysis on the development trend of carbon dioxide incubator industry
Carbon dioxide incubators, as precision cultivation equipment, have long required high CO2 concentration, temperature, control accuracy, and small errors. In the past, CO2 concentration sensing technology was used for better control of imported products from abroad. In the past, China's production technology was not very mature, and the technical level was not very high. In some places with relatively high requirements, it could not meet the needs of customers. In recent years, some medical equipment and precision instrument manufacturers in China have gradually absorbed this aspect, and the CO2 incubator has been in a period of vigorous development.
In the past few decades, the research fields of cell biology, molecular biology, pharmacology and so on have made amazing progress. At the same time, technological applications in these fields have to keep pace. Although the typical life science laboratory equipment has changed a lot, the carbon dioxide incubator is still the main part of the laboratory, and the ultimate purpose of its use is to maintain and promote better growth of cells and tissues. However, as technology advances, its functions and operations have become more precise, reliable and convenient. Today, the carbon dioxide incubator has become one of the most commonly used conventional instruments in the laboratory, and has been widely used in the research and production of medicine, immunology, genetics, microbiology, agricultural science, and pharmacy.
