Heracell™ VIOS™ 160i CO₂ Incubator with Cell Locker™ CO₂ Incubator, 165 L per chamber, Electropolished Stainless Steel

CO₂ Incubator with Cell Locker System

• 165L interior chamber with the new 6 segmented, gas ight inner door configuration and 3 shelves designed to accommodate 6 individual Cell Locker chambers.
• Choice of electropolished stainless steel or 100% pure copper chamber interior.
• Temperature resistant, bulb-free IR CO₂ sensor (IR180Si).
• THRIVE airflow technology provides enhanced stability,tight uniformity, and fast recovery.
• ISO Class 5 HEPA filtration provides clean room air quality in the chamber.
• Thermo Scientific iCAN touchscreen interface provides bright at-glance monitoring and complete data visibility to monitor all incubator interactions and parameters.
• Thermo Scientific Steri-Run on-demand, overnight 180ËšC sterilization cycle achieves 12 log Sterility Assurance Level (SAL) total sterilization of chamber (excluding Cell Locker chambers )

Stability of Conditions

• Cultures spend more time in conditions that best mimic the in vivo state.
• When one Cell Locker chamber is opened, the other Cell Locker chambers maintain stable conditions, preserving the in vitro environment.
• Conditions remain stable within these spatial deviations - temperature +/-0.3ËšC , humidity +/-3%, and CO₂ +/-0.2%.
• For consistent results, the uniformity in each Cell Locker chamber is +/-0.3ËšC
• Compared to the standard single glass door design, the temperature drop in the opened Cell Locker chamber is reduced by 50%.
• With the Cell Locker system, gas consumption from a door opening is reduced by 50%, saving time and money.

Sample Protection

• Individual chambers maximize security against costly cross contamination.
• Each individual Cell Locker chamber is effectively a quarantine chamber.
• Dual 0.2μm membrane filters permits air circulation but exclude microbial contaminants.
• The replacable 0.2μm membrane filter has an effective pore size of 0.02μm when filtering air and is hydrophobic, oleophobic, resistant to organic solvents and tested for biosafety and low cytotoxicity.
• Independent 3rd party tests validate protection against circulating microorganisms (when used as directed)

Flexibility of Use

• The Cell Locker System can be configured to fit unique needs of your lab.
• Different cell types, samples, users or projects can be segregated within shared incubator space.
• Each Cell Locker chamber holds 9 each T-75 cell culture flasks, 20 each 6-well plates, or 24 each 96-well plates.
• Dishes and flasks can be removed individually on a work tray or inside the entire Cell Locker chamber with optional transport cover, thus protecting samples from outside air.
• The non skid tray slides out to allow access to culture vessels, or the entire tray can be removed.
• The Cell Locker chamber can be manually disinfected or can be autoclaved.
