Thermo Scientific Heracell VIOS 160i 165L CO2 Incubator with 180°C Dry-Heat Decontamination
Product Description
The Thermo Scientific Heracell VIOS 160i is a state-of-the-art CO2 incubator featuring a 165 L (5.8 cu. ft.) capacity engineered for precise environmental control essential in cell culture and biotechnology applications. Key technical specifications include:
- CO2 Concentration Range: 1–20%, regulated via either thermal conductivity (TC) or infrared (IR) sensor technology, supporting robust molecular diagnostics and gene editing workflows.
- Temperature Control: Operates from ambient +3 °C up to 55 °C to accommodate diverse incubation protocols in synthetic biology and bioprocessing.
- Humidity Management: Maintains <93% relative humidity at 37 °C through pre-humidified gas delivery and an internal integral water reservoir, crucial for live-cell imaging and tissue engineering.
- Chamber Design: Available in polished stainless steel or copper interior with passive antimicrobial properties to reduce contamination risks in molecular cloning and biomanufacturing pipelines. Coved interior corners facilitate continuous airflow.
- THRIVE Active Airflow System: Ensures uniform temperature, CO2, and humidity distribution across all shelf positions, minimizing environmental gradients for reproducible cell culture results.
- Dry-Heat Decontamination Cycle: Automated 180 °C sterilization completes under 12 hours without disassembly, ideal for maintaining aseptic conditions required in clinical diagnostics.
- HEPA Filtration: ISO Class 5 HEPA filter continuously recirculates and cleans chamber air to lower particulate and microbial contamination during extended incubation runs.
- User Interface: iCAN touchscreen allows access to alarm status, system parameters, and operating trends; integrated USB data logging and optional 4–20 mA analog outputs enable connection to facility management systems.
- Safety Features: Dual temperature probes provide over-temperature protection with operational backup, ensuring critical safeguards for sensitive cell culture workflows.
- Dimensions and Power: Exterior: 25”W x 39”D x 36”H; Weight: 183 lbs; Power: 120V, 50/60Hz, 1.0 kW.
Widely adopted in biotechnology laboratories, this incubator supports molecular diagnostics, synthetic biology research, bioprocess development, and clinical cell culture applications. Its precise environmental controls and advanced contamination prevention technologies make it essential for maintaining sterile conditions in biopharmaceutical production pipelines and live-cell experimentation. The double-stack cabinet design offers scalable incubation capacity within a limited laboratory footprint.
