Aquaguard-1 Water bath of CO2 incubators Disinfection Solution Aquaguard-1 is a multi-purpose, ready-to-us concentrated solution for disinfecting the water baths in cell culture incubators. It has been proven to be an effective anti-microbial agent against bacteria, yeast, and fungi. The product is based on sodium benzoate which occurs naturally in some fruits and spices and is used in many industries as preservative in food and pharmaceuticals and as anti-corrosive in waterborne systems. The CO2 incubator is basic to most laboratories involved in the cultivation of cells in vitro. Leakage of medium from the semi-open culture bottles, coupled with high humidity and an optimal temperature, offers a fertile breeding ground for the development of cell culture contaminants within the incubators. Don't wait for contamination to appear as the damage has already done. Systematically clean and disinfect the incubator on a recommended basis every 14 days or at a minimum of once a month. Disinfection Solution-I has been proven to be an extremely effective antimicrobial agent against recurring contamination. The water in CO2 incubator should be replaced with sterile water every two to four weeks, by adding 50 ml of Disinfection Solution per five liters of water.
