Achieve your next breakthrough. The Thermo Scientific™ Heracell™ VIOS CO2 incubator is 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. Large 255L capacity provides space for high throughput applications and accommodates spaces for culture devices for larger sample output.
Direct heat chamber
- 255 L (9.0 cu.ft.) electropolished stainless steel chamber with compact footprint, easily stackable
- Standard left hand door swing, field reversible by qualified service support
THRIVE active airflow
- 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
ISO Class 5 HEPA filtration
- 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
Covered Integrated humidity reservoir
- 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
Steri-Run on-demand high temperature sterilization cycle
- 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
Intuitive, interactive iCAN touchscreen control
- Bright LED screen to monitor all incubator interactions
- Provides visibility to changes in culture environment with performance trend graphing, error and usage logs
- Convenient on-screen user prompts and reminders for easy navigation
- Selectable languages simplify operation: English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Japanese and Mandarin
Wireless Monitoring Solution
Thermo Scientific™ DeviceLink HUB™, our easy-to-install solution, works with the Thermo Fisher Cloud to monitor conditions inside your CO2 incubators.
