| 摘要 |
A cell culture incubator (10, 72) is provided which includes one or more UV lamps (40, 116) allowing continuous or semi-continuous on-demand incubator sterilization. The incubator (10, 72) includes a thermally insulated cabinet (12, 74) having an internal working chamber (14, 76) and a hingedly mounted door (16, 78). The sterilizing UV lamp (40) may be mounted in a circulating airflow passageway (62) to continuously sterilize air circulating through the working chamber (14). Alternately or in addition thereto, the lamp (116) may be mounted in the door (78) with a reflector (114) for focusing the UV radiation into the working chamber (76). Preferably, short-wave UV lamps are employed.
