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 pure copper interior chambers provide the ideal in-vitro environment.

Direct Heat Chamber 

• 165L solid copper chamber with compact footprint, easily stackable 
• Adjustable, perforated shelving 
• Reversible exterior door for added flexibility

THRIVE  Active Airflow  

• In-chamber fan gently distributes clean, humidified air throughout the chamber ensuring  homogeneous conditions 
• Fast recovery of all parameters ten minutes or less for stable culturing conditions 
• Auto-stop function disables fan operation during door openings to minimize air exchange

ISO 5 HEPA Filtration 

• In-chamber HEPA continuously filters the entire chamber air volume every 60 seconds
• ISO 5 clean room air quality is achieved in the culture chamber within five minutes
• Continuous protection by minimizing ability for contaminants to settle on interior surfaces

Protected Humidity Reservoir 

• Directly heated water reservoir provides stable high relative humidity levels, preventing culture desiccation 
• Condensation free inner chamber, prevents a breeding ground for contaminant
• 5X faster humidity recovery than traditional water pan designs

In situ sensors and probes

• Dual temperature probes  for over temperature protection with operational back up
• Choice of thermal conductivity (TC) with rh compensation or single beam, dual wavelength infrared (IR) CO₂ sensor
• O₂ control ranges 1 to 21% (hypoxic) and 5 to 90% (hyperoxic)

Steri-Run, high temperature defection cycle 

• Overnight cycle simplifies cleaning and eliminates the need for separate autoclaving of parts
• 180°C cycle assures uniform 6-log sterilization on all chamber surfaces

Intuitive, interactive iCAN™ Touchscreen Control

• Bright, door-mounted display for easy accessibility and viewing
• Selectable languages simplify operation: English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Japanese and Mandarin
