Thermo Scientific Heracell 150i CO2 Incubator w/ Sterilization Cycle
The Thermo Scientific Heracell 150i CO2 Incubator w/ Sterilization Cycle provides the ideal in vitro environment, protecting valuable samples while optimizing cell growth. This incubator is reliable and easy to use while featuring fast recovery characteristics and a convenient touchscreen user interface for easily controlling the temperature from Ambient +3°C to 55°C. The Thermo Scientific iCAN™ touchscreen simplifies operation and enables rapid access of important information for each critical parameter in the incubator. This can provide trend analysis for convenient evaluation of the unit’s performance. The touchscreen allows for alert notifications such as when gas supply is low, or when there are changes to the cell culture environment. The Heracell 150i CO2 Incubator incorporates a unique integral humidity water reservoir that facilitates a high relative humidity (RH) and allows rapid recovery of optimal humidity level after door openings. A water level sensor indicates when a refill is needed via a convenient prompt on the touchscreen display to avoid the desiccation of important cultures. This pan-less system helps reduce handling and provides recovery rates up to five times faster than ordinary tray humidified incubators. This incubator also features the ContraCon 90°C moist heat sterilization cycle, which is an on-demand routine that is proven effective in eliminating bacteria, molds, fungal spores and mycoplasma. The ContraCon system simplifies cleaning and minimizes variability in disinfection. Also, the cleaning process does not require the disassembly and removal of sensors, hardware or other components for separate autoclaving. All of our equipment is fully tested to perform at factory specifications before being shipped.
The Thermo Scientific Heracell 150i CO2 Incubator w/ Sterilization Cycle includes:
- > 3 Shelves
- > NIST Calibration and Preventative Maintenance Report
- > Power Cord
- > Operator's Manual
- > Full 180 Day Parts and Labor Warranty

- 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
