Description

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 or copper 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. 

• DeviceLink HUB monitors chamber temperature, gas levels, alarms, and alerts from the incubator data output connection, RS-232 or USB 
• Alarms and notifications are also sent to the user by email and mobile push notification
• DeviceLink HUB is an optional accessory for models with the iCAN touchscreen interface
• DeviceLink HUB is available in the following regions
  • United States and Canada
  • 28 members of the European Union
  • Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, and Switzerland

In situ sensors and probes designed for precise control

• Dual temperature probes for over temperature protection with operational back up
• Thermal conductivity (TC) CO₂ sensor with rH compensation designed for fast recovery and stable operation
