Heracell VIOS 160i CO2 Incubator
Overview
The Heracell VIOS 160i is a sophisticated CO2 incubator designed to provide a highly stable and contaminated-free environment for sensitive cell cultures. This model features the THRIVE active airflow system, which ensures rapid recovery of all growth parameters following door openings while maintaining uniform internal conditions. The unit incorporates an electropolished stainless steel interior and is engineered to minimize cultured cells' exposure to environmental stress.
Highlights
- THRIVE active airflow technology for rapid recovery of temperature, CO2, and humidity levels.
- iCAN touchscreen interface for comprehensive data logging and visual monitoring of incubator performance.
- Integrated 180°C high-temperature sterilization cycle for simplified decontamination without requiring autoclave of internal components.
- In-chamber HEPA filtration system that continuously filters the entire chamber volume to achieve ISO Class 5 air quality conditions.
