Thermo Scientific Heracell Vios 250i CO2 Cell Culture Incubator with iCAN Touchscreen Control

The Thermo Scientific Heracell Vios 250i CO2 Incubator is engineered for precise and sterile cell culture applications, widely used in molecular diagnostics, bioprocessing, and biomanufacturing workflows. It features a 255 L chamber capacity with options for copper or stainless steel interiors, supporting controlled temperature, CO2 concentration, and humidity critical in biotechnology research.

Key technical features include:

• iCAN touchscreen interface for real-time monitoring and control of temperature, CO2, humidity, alarms, and event logging
• THRIVE Active Airflow system providing uniform humidified air distribution with automatic fan stop during door openings to limit contamination risks
• In-chamber ISO 5 HEPA filtration cycling the entire chamber air volume every 60 seconds, achieving cleanroom air quality within five minutes
• Overnight 180°C Steri-Run decontamination cycle to ensure microbial-free environment, essential for live-cell imaging and synthetic biology experiments
• Dual configuration options:
• Vios 250i CR: Cleanroom-certified design with brushed stainless steel exterior, IP54 cleaning rating, Active Particle Control System, and stainless steel interior for stringent contamination control in clinical diagnostics and biopharmaceutical production
• Vios 250i (single unit, CAT# 51031048): Copper interior to reduce microbial growth, preferred in gene editing and molecular cloning applications
• Environmental controls: Temperature range from ambient +3°C to 55°C, relative humidity up to 93% at 37°C, and CO2 concentration adjustable between 1-20% with TC sensor technology
• Data connectivity via USB and optional 4-20mA analog output supports integration with laboratory monitoring and automation systems
• Dimensions and power characteristics accommodate stacked or single-unit configurations, optimized for biotechnology lab workflows

This incubator is critical for maintaining optimal culture conditions in biotechnology, neuroscience, and cell imaging applications, offering robust functionality for demanding molecular biology and synthetic biology research environments.
