New Brunswick S41i CO₂ Incubator Shaker

The S41i is the only CO₂ incubator with a built-in New Brunswick shaker, making it ideally suited for suspension cell culture applications. It combines precise temperature and CO₂ control, high-temperature disinfection and a premium New Brunswick shaker for a stable and secure environment that achieves high cell yield and viability. The New Brunswick S41i also minimizes CO₂ consumption without compromising cell growth and viability. Performance tests have shown that it reduces costly gas consumption when compared to competitor models.

Heavy-duty, triple eccentric drive shaker provides stable, uniform and vibration-free motion that is perfect for suspension cell culture applications.

The perfect CO₂ incubation environment

Like all New Brunswick CO₂ incubators, the S41i features a six-sided direct-heating profile. Gentle convection circulation of the chamber atmosphere maintains stable temperatures and CO₂ control throughout the chamber. Unlike traditional forced-air culture systems, this design protects against wide fluctuations in temperature and CO₂ that stress cells. No fan is required, which eliminates a classic source of contamination, disturbing vibrations, and costly HEPA filters. Direct-heating technology combined with the following additional features provide the perfect CO₂ incubation environment.

• IR sensor: Provides specific measurement and accurate control of CO₂ levels, unlike traditional TC sensors that are sensitive to chamber humidity and temperature fluctuations
• Advanced PI control: Maintains temperature accuracy and uniformity while minimizing costly gas consumption
• Tightly sealed inner glass door: Samples can be viewed during cell culturing without compromising the sample or environment. Since the chamber remains closed when samples are viewed, temperature uniformity is maintained and costly CO₂ and N₂ consumption is reduced.
• Unique perforated shelves help to ensure rapid recovery of temperature, CO₂ and RH when the door is opened and closed

Designed with sample safety in mind

New Brunswick S41i is designed to keep samples free of contamination with the following features:

• Easy-to-clean incubator chamber: Deep-drawn chamber with rounded corners and a smooth, seamless  surface eliminates a common source  of contamination and is easy to clean
• High Temperature Disinfection (HTD) heats the internal chamber to 120 °C and holds it for 4 hours to effectively eliminate contaminants
• Removable humidity pan and shelves slide out for fast, easy and effective cleaning. Shelves can also be easily repositioned

Intuitive touchscreen controller

Advanced and intuitive touch screen control provides a clear and accurate view of incubator conditions and allows users to track performance over time.

• Quick viewing of multiple parameters
• Comprehensive and rapid analysis of real time and historical conditions, including trend graphs
• Quick changes in environmental and alarm settings, on-screen troubleshooting and diagnostics
• 72-hour continuous data logging records environmental conditions, temperature, alarms and more
• Password protected settings and alarm setpoints

Additional standard features include:

• NEW Building Management System (BMS) Relay for integration into centralized building alarm system is now a standard feature
• Programmable auto-zero port with hydrophobic filter ensures accurate CO₂ calibration measurements; exceptional filtration rate of 99.99% prevents particulates from entering the sensor or chamber
• Includes 2 shelving racks and 1 perforated shelf; fits one additional shelf (optional)
• 25mm access port for adding instrumentation or probes
• High quality door gasket maintains a leak-free seal
• Ethernet port for communication and external instrument logging
• In-line filters for gas supply inlets ensure sterility
• Can be used under bench, on floor stand and is stackable x2 (optional stacking frame needed)
