Abstract
A typical cell culture CO2 incubator was probed in detail to document the pattern of 60-Hz magnetic fields (MFs) inside the unit, as well as the ability of the incubator to attenuate environmental MFs. Subsequently, a survey of 46 cell culture incubators was performed. The survey measured MFs outside and inside the incubators, the frequency spectrum between 5 and 2000 Hz, and variations over time of the 60-Hz MF. Our measurements show an uneven spatial distribution, reflecting electronic and electrical components hidden within the walls. Attenuation of environmental MFs varied between 18 % and 33 %, signalling easy penetration into the units. MF levels, frequency spectra and variations over time were very different from one unit to the next. All 46 incubators surveyed had an average field greater than 0.2 microT; among them, 39 (85 %) had an average field greater than 1 microT. There is substantial work to be done in improving control over the MF environment of in vitro experiments in bio-medicine, particularly if they involve cancer cells.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
