What is GelJacket? GelJacket is the most innovative technological advancement for cell culture incubators in decades! Caron developed this patented* design to create a premium CO2 incubator geared toward advanced cell culture studies for the future. GelJacket incorporates proprietary gel active insulation, which surrounds the incubator on all sides, creating a top of the line unit with thermal advantages that far surpass any CO2 incubator on the market today. This new technology includes all of the advantages of modern benchtop units without any of the disadvantages.
How is GelJacket superior to water jacket? Water jacket incubators were the choice of researchers for years, primarily due to the thermal protection offered by the water following door openings and power outages. Caron's new GelJacket incubator far exceeds water jacket thermal protection by insulating with the heat retaining gel.
Water jackets require frequent maintenance, such as adding algaecide, draining and filling. GelJacket's sealed gel requires no maintenance, is lightweight to enhance mobility and has no risk of leaking. In fact, the incubator has rapid reaction to door openings because of the high thermal retention of the gel, making it the safest incubator on the market today.
Water jacket incubators also require manual cleaning because they cannot withstand the pressure created when water is heated to high temperatures during a decon cycle. Caron's incubator is the first to offer thermal protection that surpasses water jacket with the user friendliness of an automatic built-in 90°C moist heat decontamination cycle.
How is GelJacket superior to air jacket/direct heat? GelJacket takes heating and insulating one step further by the gel's ability to enhance temperature stability and uniformity of the incubator. GelJacket technology offers all of the user-friendly features scientists have come to prefer with air jacket/direct heat incubators while transcending the technology of water jacket incubators!
