Heracell™ VIOS 160i CO2 Incubators with Stainless Steel Chamber
By Thermo
The Thermo Scientific™ Heracell™ VIOS CO2 incubator is specifically designed to deliver the performance reliability, ease of operation, and value required to support a range of culturing needs from basic research to the demanding, leading-edge applications. Heracell™ CO2 incubators with non-corrosive stainless-steel interior chambers provide the ideal in-vitro environment.
Direct Heat Chamber
- 165L electropolished stainless steel chamber with compact footprint, easily stackable
- Standard left hand door swing, reversible door swing for added flexibility
THRIVE Active Airflow
- In-chamber fan gently distributes clean, humidified air throughout the chamber ensuring homogeneous conditions
- Fast recovery of all parameters ten minutes or less for stable culturing conditions
- Auto-stop function disables fan operation during door openings to minimize air exchange
ISO 5 HEPA Filtration
- In-chamber HEPA continuously filters the entire chamber air volume every 60 seconds
- ISO 5 clean room air quality is achieved in the culture chamber within five minutes
- Continuous protection by minimizing ability for contaminants to settle on interior surfaces
Protected Humidity Reservoir
- Directly heated water reservoir provides stable high relative humidity levels, preventing culture desiccation
- Cover limits particles and spilled media from settling into the reservoir
- Condensation free inner chamber, prevents a breeding ground for contaminant
- 5X faster humidity recovery than traditional water pan designs
- For easier water handling, humidity reservoir may be filled or drained without the removal of shelves or cultures
In situ sensors and probes
- Dual temperature probes for over temperature protection with operational back up
- Choice of thermal conductivity (TC) with rH compensation or single beam, dual wavelength infrared (IR) CO2 sensor
- O2 control ranges 1 to 21% (hypoxic) and 5 to 90% (hyperoxic)
Steri-Run, high temperature defection cycle
- Overnight cycle simplifies cleaning and eliminates the need for separate autoclaving of parts
- 180°C cycle assures uniform 6-log sterilization on all chamber surfaces eliminating biological contaminants
Intuitive, interactive iCAN™ Touchscreen Control
- Convenient on-screen user prompts and reminders for easy navigation
- Selectable languages simplify operation: English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Japanese and Mandarin
- Visibility to changes in culture environment on performance graphs and error and data logs
