Which Co2 incubator is the best for stem cell cultures: water-jacket or air-jacket?

10 October 2014 1 3K Report

stem cells- tissue culture- cell culture.

I really got confused about the advantages and disadvantages of both but till now the air jacket have more advantages as it have less contamination than water jacket because it has a decontamination cycle, but i have been trained on the water jacket so i am afraid to take this risk and choose the air jacket.
