Description

The Thermo Scientific™ Heracell™ VIOS 160i Dual Stack CO₂ Incubator combines advanced contamination prevention with reliable environmental control, offering two independently operated 165 L (5.8 cu. ft.) chambers in a single footprint. Each chamber features direct-heat temperature regulation, an integrated water reservoir, and a TC CO₂ sensor for accurate gas detection and rapid recovery after door openings.

This stacked configuration maximizes lab space while maintaining complete environmental independence between chambers—ideal for parallel experiments or different cell culture lines. The electropolished stainless-steel chamber minimizes contamination risk and simplifies cleaning.

An in-chamber HEPA filtration system provides ISO Class 5 air quality within minutes, and the LED interface offers clear, intuitive operation. The covered humidity reservoir maintains stable, high humidity to prevent desiccation, while optional 4–20 mA analog outputs and USB data ports support compliance and traceability.

The Heracell VIOS 160i dual-stack design supports reproducibility, safety, and productivity for demanding cell culture workflows.

Disconnect power before cleaning or performing maintenance. Follow manufacturer guidelines for sterilization cycles and calibration.

📚 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What makes the dual-stack configuration beneficial?

It saves space while providing two independently controlled chambers—perfect for labs running multiple projects or protocols simultaneously.

How is contamination prevented?

Each chamber includes an in-chamber HEPA filter, electropolished surfaces, and a covered water reservoir, ensuring ISO Class 5 clean air and sterile humidity control.

Can both chambers be controlled separately?

Yes, each 165 L chamber operates independently with its own CO₂ and temperature settings.

What CO₂ sensor does it use?

A thermal-conductivity (TC) sensor provides accurate readings and fast recovery after door openings.

Is it compatible with data logging systems?

Yes – the incubator supports USB connections and optional 4–20 mA analog outputs for data integration.
