Method used

A cell culture carbon dioxide incubator is designed with a built-in support mechanism, including a bearing seat, a rotating shaft, a drive rod, a transmission rod and a support tray. The staggered lifting and lowering of the rotating shaft and the transmission rod are driven by the motor to achieve synchronous forward tilt of the support tray and adjust the visual angle of the culture dish.

Benefits of technology

By adjusting the angle of the tray, the experimenter can more easily view the cells in the Petri dish through the window inside the sealed door, which improves the observation effect and makes it easier to judge the growth status of the cells.
