The Thermo Forma Steri Cycle 370 CO2 Incubator combines
precise CO2 control and temperature for a direct-heat design with convenient high-temperature decontamination. This incubator ensures t
emperature retention and quick recovery especially important for researchers working with critical cell cultures. The Thermo 370 CO2 incubator provides maximum thermal protection and quick recovery from swings in ambient temperature and power variations. The SteriCycle also features a patented in-chamber HEPA air filtration system, which continuously filters chamber air every 60 seconds to reach Class 100 cleanroom air quality. Possible contaminants can also be eliminated with an on-demand 140C sterilization cycle for simplified routine cleaning..
All of our equipment is fully tested to perform
at factory specifications before being shipped.

- Inspect the display for any dim, flickering, or dead pixels, replacing any affected areas to maintain full readability and operational clarity
- Thoroughly examine external regulators for any signs of damage, wear, or malfunction (if applicable), replacing any compromised parts
- Inspect temperature, CO₂, and H₂O sensors (if applicable), ensuring each sensor is functioning correctly and accurately reporting conditions
- Conduct a detailed inspection of all internal wiring for frays, tears, or breakages; replace any compromised wires to ensure safe and reliable connections
- Verify that software settings align with the internal components and calibration specifications, adjusting configurations as needed for accurate operation
- Inspect and clean the fan, ensuring it is free from dust or obstructions; replace if performance is below required standards
- Examine wheels and leveling mounts for structural integrity, ensuring proper balance and stability for safe operation
- Inspect door gaskets and latches for any signs of wear or damage, replacing if necessary to maintain a secure seal and optimal environmental control
- Calibrate temperature accuracy at 37°C using a NIST-traceable probe, confirming it meets required tolerances
- Calibrate CO₂ level to 5% using a Fyrite combustion test kit (if applicable), ensuring precise atmospheric conditions
- Monitor temperature and CO₂ stability over a 24-hour period, verifying consistent operation within specified ranges
- Conduct a thorough cosmetic inspection to confirm all external surfaces and components meet quality standards, free from visible damage or wear
