How do you measure CO2 in Binder Incubators?

15 November 2019 1 8K Report

We have two Binder incubators which we'd like to check the CO2 concentration in. On our Thermo incubators we used a Fyrite Gas Analyzer but these incubators don't seem to have a port to measure CO2 that way. Apart from looking at the media color, the company suggested a $3000 meter but that is a bit beyond our budget. Does anyone have a way they check the CO2 concentration in their Binder Incubators? Thank you.

Paul Gateau

I am not sure to help you.

There are CO2 sensors at low prices (less than 50 $).

You can calibrate them.
