The Thermo Scientific Heracell VIOS 160i CO2 Incubator is engineered to deliver exceptional performance, reliability, and ease of operation to support a wide range of culturing needs from basic to advanced applications. Its innovative THRIVE Active Airflow technology ensures even air distribution and rapid recovery of all environmental parameters in ten minutes or less. An auto-stop function disables fan operation during door openings to minimize air exchange, while ISO 5 HEPA filtration continuously cleans the air every 60 seconds, achieving clean room quality in just five minutes. A protected humidity reservoir prevents culture desiccation and contamination with a humidity recovery rate up to five times faster than traditional designs. Dual temperature probes provide over-temperature protection, and a Steri-Run cycle heats all chamber surfaces to 180°C for uniform six-log sterilization. The user-friendly iCAN touchscreen control offers easy accessibility and real-time monitoring to maintain optimal culture conditions throughout the incubation process.
All of our equipment is fully tested to perform at factory
specifications before being shipped.
The Thermo Scientific Heracell VIOS 160i CO2 Incubator includes:
- > 2 Shelves Per Unit
- > Power Cord
- > Calibration Report
- > 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
