Contact SupplierDesiccation results in lost cultures. It is important to maintain adequate moisture inside the chamber to prevent the drying out of cultures. Large CO2 incubators may use steam-generators or
atomizers to control relative humidity levels but most small to mid-sized incubators use humidity pans to produce humidity through evaporation. Humidity pans produce relative humidity levels
between 95-98%. Some incubators have a humidity reservoir that holds water in a heated pan. This increases evaporation. A humidity reservoir may increase the relative humidity levels to 97
98% but this system is more complicated and problems may arise due to an increase in the number of components and these units may be prone to internal “sweating”.
