Installation Story
Cell culture is unforgiving. One degree of temperature drift. A slow CO₂ leak. Contamination you don’t catch until week three. Months of work, gone. The research team at Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Bengaluru knew this. So when it was time to upgrade their incubator, they asked the right questions first — and chose the Wiggens CO₂ Incubator from GBS.
This isn’t the cheapest incubator on the market. It’s the one that protects research — and results. Congratulations to the team at MAHE Bengaluru on this important addition to their research facility.
German-engineered. Rigorously validated. Installed and supported across India by GBS. The Wiggens CO₂ Incubator is one of the most technically advanced cell culture incubators available in India — and one of the few backed by a local service team with engineers in Bengaluru, Noida, and Kanpur.

Why the Research Team Chose the Wiggens CO₂ Incubator
01
IR CO₂ Sensor — No Drift After Door Openings
Most incubators use thermal conductivity sensors that shift with every door opening. The Wiggens uses an Infrared (IR) CO₂ sensor — measuring actual gas absorption. CO₂ level stays accurate every single time.
02
90°C Moist Heat Decontamination — Overnight, Automated
At 90°C moist heat, the automated decontamination cycle eliminates mycoplasma, fungi, moulds, and bacteria — completely. No disassembly. No manual scrubbing. Sensors stay in place throughout.
03
ISO Class 5 Air — Restored Within 60 Seconds
ULPA filtration + VentiFlow forced air convection filters the entire chamber every 60 seconds after door opening. Cells never sit in compromised air.
04
Copper Interior — Continuous Passive Protection
Optional 100% copper interior is naturally fungicidal and bactericidal. No chemicals. No extra cycles. Continuous protection built into the chamber walls, 24 hours a day.
