In-VitroCellNU-5800
Direct Heat CO2 Incubator
Direct Heat | 200-Liter Capacity | HEPA Filtration | Temperature & CO2 Control
The NU-5800 CO2 incubator offers touch panel control and monitoring of temperature and CO2 to meet the demands of a broad range of cell culture applications. Beyond using an infrared sensor for precise control of CO2 and separately adjustable door and perimeter heaters to balance internal temperature. The air pump outside the 200L growth chamber also constantly draws air through a HEPA filter and cycles it back to create ISO Class 5 quality air at positive pressure and minimize contamination. A touch screen makes it easy to enter setpoints and view or download historical performance. In addition, this moderately sized incubator can be stacked to efficiently use the valuable space in your laboratory.

The Modern User Experience you Expect
NuTouch Control System
The NuTouch control system provides you with the user experience you have come to expect from any piece of modern equipment. Change set points, view chamber history, start a decontamination cycle, or perform a calibration procedure from this simple interface. All NuAire CO2 incubators standardize on the NuTouch control system, meaning that once users learn to navigate one incubator they can move seamlessly to any other in the lab.
The Warm Embrace of Direct Heat Technology
Direct Heat Chamber
The direct heat incubator uses heating elements placed around the chamber, in the door perimeter, and in the door itself to provide balanced temperature within a steel, insulated chamber environment. Door and perimeter heaters can be adjusted independently to ensure uniformity even when the incubator is installed in more demanding ambient temperatures.

Optimal CO2 Levels
Infrared (IR) Sensor
A single source dual wave infrared (IR) sensor controls CO2 levels within the growth chamber to maintain an optimal PH. The wavelengths used are absorbed only by CO2, making the measurements insensitive to other components such as water vapor. Advanced design provides a stable output minimizing drift, and requires less frequent calibrations.

Cell Cultures Deserve Their Own Clean Room
Closed Loop HEPA Filtration
Continual HEPA filtration of chamber air complements periodic high heat decontamination to provide Constant Contamination Control. InVitrocell’s design constantly takes a sample of air from the chamber, routes it through a HEPA filter in a compartment outside that inner chamber, and ultimately returns it to create an ISO Class 5 level of clean air in the interior as well as a slight positive pressure. Inside the InVitrocell, your cell cultures are protected by a multi-tiered defense against contamination.
