HERAcell VIOS 160i CO2 Incubator, Copper Interior, Dual Chamber, IR CO2 Sensor 120V 50/60Hz
The Thermo Scientific Heracell VIOS series represents a new era in advanced incubator design for sensitive cultures like stem and primary cells in leading research, pharmaceutical and clinical laboratory applications.
Through a holistic approach to culturing, our newest incubator series provides everything necessary for your most demanding and highly critical applications. By combining our latest technology advancements in contamination control and uniform growth conditions with existing proven and reliable features, you are now able to achieve your goals faster, more reliably, and with less effort.
Better Solutions for Optimal Cell Growth
The Heracell VIOS CO2 incubator incorporates THRIVE active airflow technology,providing faster recovery and uniformity for consistent results. Your cellsexperience total recovery of all critical growth parameters in less than 10 minutes following a 30 second door opening.
- Advanced In Situ Sensor Technology: Probes and gas sensors are positioned in the chamber to respond quickly to any deviations in desired conditions
- Temperature Resistant, Bulb-Free IR CO2 Sensor with MEMS Emitter Technology: New temperature resistant IR180Si infrared CO2 sensor replaces the traditional incandescent IR light source with silicon MEMS emitter technology that improves stability and reliable service life. This sensor is ideal for labs looking for the best of both technologies for advanced, high volume, or value culturing.
- Added Culturing Flexibility with Variable Oxygen Control: Many cell types thrive best in CO2 incubators with reduced oxygen. Culturing cells at lower oxygen concentration will better simulate physiological conditions, resulting in cell behaviors that are more predictive of the in vivo environment.
- Exclusive Condensation Free Humidification System: Our unique covered integrated humidity reservoir maximizes relative humidity without condensation ensuring a dry inner chamber, preventing a breeding ground for contaminants.
Complete Contamination Control
Our advanced contamination control technologies are designed to protect your valuable cultures and eliminate the loss of time and resources while providing convenient added security for your research work.
- High-Temperature Sterilization with Push Button Simplicity: Our exclusive Thermo Scientific Steri-Run high temperature sterilization cycle reaches 180°C on all chamber surfaces and is independently proven to achieve total sterilization and a 12 logSterility Assurance Level (SAL). With the push of a button, the simple overnight routine provides fast, easy elimination of microbial contaminants and eliminates the need for separate autoclaving of parts.
- HEPA Air Filtration for Air Purity: Airborne particulates are a primary source of contamination in most lab settings. Our advanced HEPA filter technology protects your cultures, providing ISO-Class 5 clean room-like air quality conditions within only five minutes after a 30-second door opening.
Enhanced Simplicity
The Heracell VIOS series was designed to simplify your interaction with the incubator. Spend more time pursuing your science and less time managing your equipment.
- iCAN Touchscreen Interface: Total control at your fingertips
- Optimized chamber design for easy maintenance and monitoring
- New rH monitoring
- On-demand data and error logs
The Heracell VIOS CO2 incubator delivers the performance reliability, ease of operation, and value required to support a range of culturing needs from basic research to demanding, leading-edge applications, so you’re ready for whatever comes next!
