Nitrogen for multi-gas incubators (Tri-Gas)

What is a multi-gas incubator (Tri-Gas)?

Incubators with variable oxygen control, so-called multi-gas or tri-gas incubators, enable the optimal cultivation of cells for a wide range of applications in pharmacy, medicine, food analysis and biochemistry.

How does the process work?

To ensure the growth of the cells, the temperature, humidity and CO2 content must meet the requirements of the cell cultures as closely as possible. In many cases, cells cultivated in a low-oxygen environment grow faster, live longer and show less stress. By introducing nitrogen into the incubator with the aid of a nitrogen generator, the oxygen concentration can be controlled in a targeted manner.

Even when cultivating cells from inside the body, where the oxygen concentration is only between 1 % and 14 % and not 20-21 % as in the atmosphere, a variable nitrogen supply ensures a near-natural growth-promoting atmosphere.
