Thermo Steri-Cult 3307 CO2 Incubator 232L with IR Sensor & Sterilization Cycle

The Thermo Steri-Cult 3307 CO2 Incubator is engineered for advanced cell culture and biotechnology applications, providing a stable environment with precise control over CO2 concentration (0-20%) and temperature range (Ambient +5°C to 50°C with ±0.1°C accuracy at 37°C). Equipped with an infrared (IR) CO2 sensor, this incubator delivers accurate gas monitoring essential for sensitive mammalian cell cultures and molecular diagnostics workflows.

Key technical features include:

• 232.2 L polished stainless steel chamber optimized for bioprocessing and synthetic biology experiments supporting high-throughput culturing.
• ISO Class 5 HEPA filtration system that continuously filters air every 60 seconds, ensuring contamination-free incubation critical in gene editing and biomanufacturing labs.
• A rigorous 140°C sterilization cycle lasting approximately 14 hours guarantees aseptic conditions for reliable experimental reproducibility.
• Integrated active humidity control with an external water reservoir to prevent sample desiccation, vital for live-cell imaging and tissue engineering studies.

The incubator’s dimensions (internal: 52.3 x 52.8 x 83.8 cm; external: 68.6 x 88.9 x 100.1 cm) and weight (~190 kg) reflect its robust build tailored for demanding clinical diagnostics and biotechnology research environments. Despite minor aesthetic wear and an intermittently triggered water low indicator, the unit maintains all key functions, making it suitable for biopharmaceutical production pipelines and essential molecular cloning workflows.

This CO2 incubator is preferred in biotechnology fields for creating controlled atmospheres necessary in cell culture, gene expression studies, and bioprocessing applications. Its combination of high-volume capacity, precise environmental control, and contamination prevention aligns with the rigorous demands of modern biomedical engineering and synthetic biology research.
