Heracell™ VIOS 160i and 250i CO2 incubator with stainless steel chamber Cell culture success all along the line. The Thermo Scientific™ Heracell™ VIOS CO 2 incubator is specifically designed for the reliable performance, ease of use and value required to support a wide variety of cultivation needs – from basic research to demanding, state-of-the-art applications. So you are ready for whatever may come. Better solutions for optimal cell growth. Our CO 2 incubators with inner chambers made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel provide an ideal in vitro environment. Direct heated incubator Electropolished stainless steel chamber with a volume of 165 l (5.8 cu. ft.) or 255 l (9.0 cu. ft.), compact footprint, easily stackable. Door hinge is on the right as standard, exchangeable door hinge for more flexibility. THRIVE concept with active airflow A fan gently distributes clean, humidified air throughout the chamber, ensuring homogeneous conditions. All critical growth parameters are restored in less than 10 minutes after opening the door, allowing your cells to develop optimally. Auto-stop function automatically deactivates fan operation when the door is opened to minimise air exchange. HEPA air filtration for high air purity (ISO 5) The HEPA filter cleans the airflow of microbes and particles to protect cultures from contamination. To ensure air quality, the air in the chamber is circulated every 60 seconds. Thus, within just five minutes of opening the door for 30 seconds, the advanced HEPA filter technology ensures air conditions that comply with cleanroom class ISO 5. Continuous protection against contaminants on internal surfaces Water reservoir with protective cover Directly heated water reservoir provides stable high relative humidity, preventing the culture from drying out. Cover limits the possibility of particles and spillage settling in the reservoir. Condensation-free humidification system keeps the inner container dry, preventing a breeding ground for contamination. 5 times faster humidity recovery time due to directly heated water reservoir compared to removable trays For easier water handling, the liquid reservoir can be filled or emptied without removing trays or cultures. In-situ sensor technology Dual temperature sensors with PID controller with over-temperature protection prevent overheating during temperature recovery. Choice of thermal conductivity (TC) CO 2 sensor with relative humidity compensation or single beam infrared (IR) CO 2 sensor with dual wavelength O 2 control ranges from 1 to 21 % (hypoxic) and 5 to 90 % (hyperoxic) Steri-Run, high temperature sterilisation cycle High temperature sterilisation at the touch of a button simplifies cleaning, can be set overnight and eliminates the need for separate autoclaving of parts. 180 °C cycle ensures uniform sterilisation of all chamber surfaces (germ reduction of 6 log levels) and eliminates biological contaminants. Intuitive, interactive iCAN™ touch screen control Conveniently displayed on-screen information and reminders for easy navigation Language selection facilitates operation: English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Japanese and Mandarin Visibility of culture environment changes in performance graphs and error and data logs Ordering information: Dual chamber models include stacking adapter and base with casters.
