WATERBAG developed by WAKEN B TECH is a goods for humidifying a chamber of a cell cultuer incubator and suitable for strictly regulated clean area like CPC, clean rooms and so on.\nThose areas are subject to some problems for keeping cleanliness, in particular prohibition of bringing water into those areas is the most annoying problem.<\/p>\n

Generally, incubators are installed in those areas and need water to humidify its chamber.
However, as mentioned above, bringing water into those areas is strictly restricted and also there are risks of contamination since water used for humidification is usually sterile distilled water that is susceptible to microorganisms including bacteria, viruses and so on.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

This problem can be overcome by using WATERBAG.<\/p>\n

WATERBAG is constructed from 2 parts. The bag part is made of Nylon and Low density Polyethylene, and humidity permeable filter is made of Tybek\u00ae 1073B (Dupont).<\/p>\n

Tybek\u00ae 1073B is used for packing a lot of kinds of medical devices and medicines, and it has a unique feature like letting air and vapor pass through it, but particles like microorganisms including viruses cannot.
(You can see the details of Tybek\u00ae 1073B\u3000on the Dupont website.)<\/p>\n

We focused on this feature and developped WATERBAG as humidification source of incubators that didn’t have any risks of contamination. (Patent holded)<\/p>\n

For example, theoretically, there is no risk for samples to be contaminated even if microbial contaminated water is in WATERBAG because microorganisms cannot come out through the filter.
*Please note that we are not able to guarantee that contamination risks are prevented completely by using WATERBAG. Also, please use sterile distilled water for WATERBAG, not to use tap water or contaminated water.<\/p>\n

Humidification performance of WATERBAG is compatible with a water pan as showed below. WATERBAG can make good humidification environment in the chamber.<\/p>\n
