Thermo Scientific HERAcell VIOS 160i/250i Stacked CO2 Incubators Features
Here are the key features of the HERAcell VIOS 160i/250i stacked incubators:
• Cell growth: The Heracell VIOS CO2 incubator incorporates THRIVE active airflow technology, providing faster recovery and uniformity for consistent results.
• Contamination control: The HERAcell VIOS 160i/250i incubators feature ISO class 5 HEPA filtered air and on-demand high-temperature sterilization. The in-line HEPA filter cleans the airstream of microbes and particles protecting cultures from contamination.
• Oxygen controlled: The HERAcell VIOS 160i/250i CO2 incubators Oxygen controlled models are equipped with advanced zirconium oxide sensors, enabling a choice of control ranges 1-21% (hypoxic) and 5-90% (hyperoxic).
• Sensor: The HERAcell VIOS 160i/250i CO2 incubators are equipped with the new TC180 sensor offering performance advantages of traditional IR technologies without the limiting lifespan of a standard incandescent bulb. This sensor is ideal for everyday cell culture applications.
• Humidity system: The HERAcell VIOS 160i/250i incubators’ unique covered integrated humidity reservoir maximizes relative humidity without condensation ensuring a dry inner chamber, preventing a breeding ground for contaminants.
• iCAN touchscreen: The HERAcell VIOS 160i/250i 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. The water level is continuously monitored and displayed on the iCAN touchscreen with advanced refill reminders.

Our Incubator 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.
