16 CO2 Monitors in One! 16 Jun 2009 The CO 2 concentration in incubators used in IVF and other cell biology laboratories must be accurately controlled if maximum cell viability is to be achieved. The unique Xiltrix® CO 2 monitoring system from IKS (Rosmalen, The Netherlands) uses a single sensor in an automated monitoring station to accurately measure, record and if necessary alarm the CO 2 concentrations in up to 16 incubators, offering significant cost savings to any laboratory using more than 3 or 4 such incubators. At intervals set by the user, this single sensor is automatically calibrated against a standard gas mixture. This not only eliminates sensor drift but clearly offers further savings compared to the separate calibration of individual incubator sensors.
