We grow cancer cell lines for animal implantation. As we have many cell lines growing at any given time, we needed to buy two new incubators. After doing some searching, I worked with our VWR representative to obtain a great price on the VWR symphony series. We purchased two stackable incubators and have been using them for ~1 year with no problems or concerns.
Cell culture and oxyen tank
Cell lines
We grow cell cultures in a humidified environment with 5% C02 at 37 degrees Celsius. These are normal conditions for growing most cell lines.
We highly recommend gettin the infrared (IR) sensor-based CO2 control unit.
We have never had any issues with the incubator. Since we have the infrared (IR) sensor-based CO2 control unit, it will sometimes beep when you have had the door open too long. To stop this, just press the silence button. The setup process was simple and the cleaning procedure is simple, yet it takes about 40 hours. Normally, we will perform the cleaning protocol over the weekend.
The IR-sensor and the ability to stack the units are great features.

Great incubators if you are needing something that is not too expensive, yet is very reliable.
