Thermo FS Heracell VIOS 160i

FRIGO GROUP

CO₂ incubator, 165 l, direct heating, TC sensor, high temperature sterilization, copper chamber, Heracell VIOS 160i.

CO₂-incubators Heracell VIOS:

  • heating method – direct heating. The air flow is distributed through the chamber with the help of a fan motor located inside the chamber;
  • chambers are made of stainless steel, but at the request of the customer, it is possible to create a CO₂-incubator at the factory with a chamber made of 100% copper, known for its antibacterial properties;
  • dual PID temperature sensors provide overheating protection by preventing the set temperature from changing while the CO₂ incubator is recovering; the temperature is restored to the set value in less than 5 minutes;
  • to prevent contamination, a built-in HEPA filter is used, which purifies the air entering the working chamber from germs and foreign particles. The chamber atmosphere passes through a HEPA filter every 60 seconds to ensure ISO class purity;
  • humidification system – natural evaporation of water from a humidifying tray with a volume of 3 liters, located above the lower heating element;
  • alarm system included as standard, remote alarm as an option;
  • Incubators can be stacked on top of each other.

Heracell VIOS 160i with TC sensor and 100% copper chamber:

  • CO₂ range, % — from 1 to 20;
  • internal volume of the chamber, l – 165;
  • temperature range, °С — from +3 above room temperature to +55;
  • microprocessor temperature controller;
  • temperature maintenance accuracy, °С — ± 0.1;
  • temperature homogeneity °С — ± 0.3 at 37 °С;
  • accuracy of maintaining the CO₂ level, % — ±0.1;
  • humidity, % – > 93 (at 37 °С);
  • liquid crystal touch display;
  • The TC180 thermoconductometric sensor is highly stable against fluctuations in CO₂ incubator atmosphere thanks to built-in humidity compensation to minimize reading drift between calibrations.
  • zirconium O₂ level sensor in the chamber (optional) provides precise maintenance of the physiological level of oxygen, creating the best conditions for growing cell cultures;
  • O₂ range, % — from 1 to 21 or 5-90;
  • accuracy of maintaining the level of О₂, % — ± 0.1;
  • number of shelves std. / max., pcs. – 3 / 10;
  • Max. load per shelf / total, kg – 10 / 30;
  • internal glass door, pcs – 1;
  • alarm connector, USB port;
  • high-temperature sterilization – 180 °C;
  • power working / during the sterilization cycle, W – 690 / 1260;
  • net / gross dimensions, W x D x H, mm – 880 x 637 x 900 / 1080 x 800 x 1290;
  • net / gross weight, kg – 83 / 110.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

CO₂-incubator for microbiological tests and multi-gas incubators are used for culturing cell, tissue and bacterial cultures under the given parameters of carbon dioxide percentage, humidity level and temperature, that is, in conditions as close as possible to in vivo conditions. In multi-gas incubators, other gases, N₂ and O₂, can also be controlled to create hypoxic or oxygen-rich conditions.
CO₂-microbiological incubator and multi-gas incubators have the following differences:

  • according to the method of maintaining the required temperature – direct heating, air jacket, water jacket;
  • according to the method of maintaining the constancy of the gas composition in the chamber – monogas (control of the CO₂ level), multigas (control of CO₂, N₂ and / or O₂);
  • according to the method of maintaining the humidity level – with passive evaporation of water from the sump or with a heated sump;
  • according to the type of CO₂ concentration control sensor – infrared sensor (IR) – single-wave or double-wave, or thermoconductometric (TC);
  • according to the method of contamination prevention – passive protection against infection (antimicrobial coating), HEPA air filtration, UV air recirculation, decontamination at 180 ° C with hot water vapor or gaseous hydrogen peroxide.

The section presents a wide range of volumes of CO₂-incubators of laboratory and multi-gas incubators from 15 to 230 liters; a wide range of options and accessories available: additional shelves, sectional inner doors, water trays, gas reducers, lockable door, stacking kits, roller stands, remote fault alarm, automatic gas bottle changeover system, Ethernet and RS232/RS485 interfaces , CO₂, CO₂ and temperature calibration kit, performing IQ/OQ/PQ procedures, IQ/OQ/PQ qualification folders. If remote continuous monitoring is required, it is possible to install loggers and/or systems for collecting and transferring temperature data to a computer for remote control of equipment operation and/or documentation.

For CO₂-incubators and multi-gas incubators, it is possible to install roller systems for bottles, shakers, necessary for the cell culture procedure.
