Achieve your next breakthrough. The Thermo Scientific™ Forma™ Steri-Cycle™ i160 and i250 CO₂ Incubators with Stainless-Steel Chambers are specifically designed to deliver the performance reliability, ease of operation, and value required to support a range of culturing needs from basic research to the demanding, leading-edge applications, so you're ready for whatever comes next. Better solutions for optimal cell growth. Our CO₂ incubators with non-corrosive stainless-steel interior chambers provide the ideal in-vitro environment.

• 255L (9.0 cu.ft.) electropolished stainless steel chamber with compact footprint, easily stackable
• Standard right hand door swing, field reversible by qualified service support

• In-chamber fan gently distributes clean, humidified air throughout the chamber ensuring  homogeneous conditions
• Fast recovery of all parameters in 10 minutes or less for stable culturing conditions
• Auto-stop function disables fan operation during door openings to minimize air exchange

• In-chamber HEPA continuously filters the entire chamber air volume every 60 seconds
• ISO Class 5 clean room air quality is achieved in the culture chamber within 5 minutes
• Continuous protection minimizes airborne contaminants settling on interior surfaces

• Directly heated water reservoir provides stable high relative humidity levels, preventing culture desiccation
• Cover limits particles and spilled media from settling into the reservoir, keeping water clean
• Separating water provides a condensation free incubation chamber, limiting areas for contaminants to breed
• 5X faster humidity recovery than traditional water pan designs
• Easy water handling: humidity reservoir may be filled or drained without removing shelves or cultures
• Water level sensor indicates when a refill is needed

• Independently validated overnight cycle ensures complete elimination of all biological contaminants
• 180°C cycle designed for uniform 12-log sterilization on all chamber surfaces
• Simplifies cleaning and eliminates the need for separate autoclaving and reassembly of components   

• Bright LED screen to monitor all incubator interactions              
• Provides visibility to changes in culture environment with performance trend graphing, error and usage logs
