Contamination Control Methods in Multigas (CO₂ and O₂) Cell Culture Incubators

Any time the cell culture incubator door is opened, a migration of airborne contaminants occurs as the interior environment seeks equilibrium with the laboratory environment. During such door openings, airborne pathogens that enter the incubator typically come to rest on wall and shelf surfaces, on the surface of humidity reservoir water or in cell culture vessels.
