CO2 Incubator Sterilization method with 90ºC Moist Heat Decontamination
17 Jun 2010: In this application note, Esco validate the Swiftcon 90ºC moist heat decontamination cycle of the Celculture CO2 Incubator by performing decontamination tests on 5 bacterial suspension preparations, including Aspergillus niger and Bacillus subtilis. After decontamination, the microbial suspension discs were placed on tubes containing PBS which were assayed by culturing methods to quantitate Total Viable Count at each location.

Using the Best Stability Chamber
11 Aug 2009: This white paper discusses choosing the right stability chamber, including taking into account the size of the stability chamber or room. Today permanent location is a concern, with the flexibility of today’s market with the vast amount of merger and acquisitions that take place. Being flexible is very important as well as the cost to relocate. Many times the cost to relocate can become close to the cost originally construct.
