[0002] An incubator is a temperature-controlled chamber primarily used for culturing microorganisms, plant, and animal cells. Some incubators have a two-way temperature control system for both cooling and heating. They are essential experimental equipment in research departments of biology, agriculture, medicine, and environmental protection, and are widely used in experiments such as constant-temperature culture and constant-temperature reactions. The main features of incubators include: the chamber body uses polyurethane or other foam plastics as insulation materials, providing good insulation against external cold and heat; the inner cavity is mostly made of stainless steel, offering strong corrosion resistance; and it has heating, cooling, and automatic temperature control devices that can sensitively regulate the internal temperature. However, traditional incubators have limited utilization of the culture area and insufficient overall sealing, which can easily lead to insufficient internal sealing when the incubator is opened, making it unsuitable for culturing stem cells.

[0003] Therefore, improvements have been made to address the aforementioned issues. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, the embodiments of this disclosure provide a stem cell culture box, which solves the technical problems of insufficient utilization of culture area and insufficient overall sealing of traditional culture boxes in the prior art.
