Application Note: CO2 Measurements in Life Science Incubators

How to achieve reliable CO₂ measurements for repeatable results

Maintaining stable CO₂ levels in incubators is essential for consistent, reproducible results in cell culture, pharmaceutical research, and IVF applications. But high humidity, temperature fluctuations, and poor sensor placement can compromise accuracy. In this application note, you will learn how to ensure incubators are:

• Equipped with fast, stable in-situ CO₂ measurement
• Immune to high humidity and condensation
• Measuring CO₂  levels with pressure and temperature compensations for accuracy at any altitude
• Ideal for GMP applications with low maintenance needs

Whether monitoring fixed incubators or spot-checking with portable sampling tools, Vaisala offers trusted solutions for maintaining compliant, contamination-free culture conditions.
