Overview of Thermo Scientific HERAcell 150i/240i Stacked CO2 Incubators

The Thermo Scientific HERAcell 150i/240i are laboratory devices for preparing and cultivating cell and tissue cultures designed for 24/7 protection against contamination. The CO2 incubator allows the simulation of the special physiological ambient conditions for these cultures with the help of exact control of temperature, CO2 content, O2/N2 content, and increased relative humidity.

Thermo Scientific HERAcell 150i/240i Stacked CO2 Incubators Features

Here are the key features of the HERAcell 150i/240i incubators:

•  Gas sensors: You can choose between Thermal Conductivity (TV) sensors which help provide accurate CO₂ control in applications where temperature and humidity values are consistent or dual beam infrared (IR) sensor technology which is recommended where temperature and humidity values fluctuate frequently.

•  Optional O2 control: The HERAcell CO2 Incubators offer two optional O2 control ranges between 1 to 21% O2 or a wide-range setting from 5 to 90% O2. 

•  Humidity system: The HERAcell 150i/240i incubators have a unique integral humidity water reservoir that facilitates a high relative humidity (rH) and allows rapid recovery of optimal humidity level after door openings. This pan-less system helps reduce handling and provides recovery rates up to five times faster than ordinary tray humidified incubators.

•  iCAN touchscreen: The HERAcell 150i/240i incubators are equipped with iCAN touchscreen which simplifies operations and enables rapid access of important information and alert notifications for each critical parameter in the incubator.

Our Testing Process

1. The Incubator technician plugs and verifies the CO2 readings to check if the humidity sensors, heating, and refrigeration (if equipped) are working.

2. The Incubator technician will disassemble the internal parts of the unit for thorough inspection on filters and other parts to check for any necessary repairs.

3. If the incubator is water jacketed, the Incubator technician fills the jacket with water for a proper calibration.

4. After initial inspection and calibration, the incubator goes under disinfection. The shelves and chamber are also cleaned.

5. The Incubator technician conducts a temperature stabilization process to monitor the temperature and humidity of the unit. Calibration will be performed as necessary to ensure proper readings.

6. The Incubator technician then inserts a CO2 probe into the chamber and injects CO2 for the stabilization process. Calibration will be performed as necessary.

7. After calibration, the Incubator technician checks for leaks and secures the seals of the unit using our CO2 leak checker. The water jacket is then drained, if equipped with one.

Our Incubator Technician Checklist

At New Life Scientific, our technicians test each device thoroughly before shipping to verify performance and functionality. After our freezer technician finishes the initial testing process, this Incubator Technician Checklist is filled out to record the important information gathered throughout the repair process. This checklist will be available publicly after the unit has undergone tech completion and is ready for the customers.

Thermo Scientific HERAcell 150i/240i CO2 Incubators Applications

CO2 incubators provide a stable environment with controlled temperature, humidity, and CO2 concentration for the following applications:

• Cell Culture - CO2 incubators are primarily used for cell culture essential for biomedical and pharmaceutical research. This supports both adherent and suspension cell lines with high throughput screening.

• Research studies - CO2 incubators allows studies on neurodegenerative diseases, cancer and stem cell research, vaccine development, 

• Tissue and Genetic Engineering - CO2 incubators supports the cultivation of scaffolds seeded with stem or somatic cells used for growing 3D tissue for regenerative medicine. CO2 incubators also provide optimal conditions for transfection and gene-editing experiments by supporting propagation of genetically modified cell lines.
