At Coburg University, everything revolves around understanding and optimizing biological processes. Under the direction of Prof. Dr. Janosch Hildebrand, head of the Institute for Bioanalytics and the Molecular Cell Biology Laboratory, a team of scientists is researching how cells age – and how they might be rejuvenated. State-of-the-art technology is used in this research, including a Memmert ICO105 CO₂ incubator, which makes a decisive contribution to the research.
Cell aging is a central topic in biomedical research. What factors cause cells to age? And how can this process possibly be reversed? In Coburg, human cells are cultivated and examined using high-precision methods – from genetic analyses to molecular biological tests. Precise and stable environmental conditions are essential for these demanding experiments.
The ICO105 CO₂ incubator from Memmert offers exactly the conditions required for cell culture work. Temperature, CO₂ content, and oxygen concentration must be precisely controlled, especially in so-called hypoxia experiments, in which the oxygen content in the environment surrounding the cells is deliberately reduced.
“It is essential for our work that we can maintain the cell cultures under optimal conditions. The ICO105 allows us to precisely control temperature and CO₂, which is indispensable for cell research,” says Prof. Dr. Hildebrand.
Coburg University has a long tradition of relying on Memmert: the laboratory still has a Memmert heating oven that is over 30 years old and still works reliably. This durability and quality are convincing arguments in favor of Memmert. But the personal customer service has also won over the scientists.
The findings from cell aging research could find long-term applications in medicine and cosmetics – from new therapeutic approaches for age-related diseases to regenerative treatment methods. With precise Memmert equipment at its side, Coburg University remains at the forefront of biomedical research.
Coburg University – where innovation meets precision. And Memmert provides the perfect conditions for it.
