Why use co2 incubator for cell culture?

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a special laboratory equipment used for cell culture, which helps maintain the optimal conditions required for cell growth and survival.  Cell culture requires a stable, sterile environment with moderate temperature, humidity, and gas composition. Carbon dioxide is important for regulating the pH of culture media because it acts as a buffer to keep the pH within the physiological range necessary for cell growth.  A CO2 mask helps regulate the CO2 concentration, temperature and humidity in a room, providing an environment that mimics the conditions of the human body. This controlled environment helps ensure that cells can grow and divide efficiently, while maintaining their structural and functional integrity.  How does a CO2 incubator help regulate CO2 concentrations?  The incubator has a sensor that constantly monitors the CO2 level in the room. If the CO2 concentration is out of range, the incubator adjusts the CO2 gas concentration in the r...
