CO₂ incubator, 240 l, direct heating, TC sensor, wet sterilization, stainless steel chamber, Heracell 240i, Thermo FS

CO₂-incubators Heracell:

  • heating method – direct heating. The air flow is distributed through the chamber with the help of a fan motor located inside the chamber;
  • the chambers are made of stainless steel, but at the request of the customer, it is possible to create a CO₂-incubator with a chamber made of 100% copper, known for its antibacterial properties, at the factory;
  • temperature sensors with PID controller provide protection against overheating by preventing a change in the set temperature during the restoration of the operating parameters of the CO₂ incubator; the temperature is restored to the set value in less than 5 minutes;
  • humidification system – natural evaporation of water from a built-in humidification tray located above the bottom heating element, which only works when the door is open, which ensures faster recovery time;
  • ContraCon decontamination procedure at 90°C for 9 hours without dismantling and removal of sensors, fan and other accessories from the working chamber for additional autoclaving;
  • emergency signaling system included as standard, remote signaling as an option;
  • incubators can be stacked on top of each other.

Heracell 240 i:

  • 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 / 12;

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.
