- Dual-stack configuration provides two independently operated incubators while maximizing cell culture capacity within a compact laboratory footprint
- Fanless chamber design promotes a uniform atmosphere while eliminating internal fans, ducts, and covers that can complicate cleaning
- Dual-channel infrared CO₂ sensing provides reliable atmosphere control for demanding and sensitive cell culture workflows
- Rapid temperature and CO₂ recovery following door openings helps quickly restore stable culture conditions
- 180°C sterilization routine and seamless stainless-steel chambers support effective contamination prevention and straightforward decontamination
- Low CO₂ consumption and fanless construction help reduce ongoing operating costs and eliminate replaceable fan-associated HEPA filters

The Eppendorf CellXpert C170i Incubator Dual Stack combines two CellXpert C170i CO₂ incubators in a stacked configuration, providing increased cell culture capacity while making efficient use of laboratory floor space. Each incubator operates independently, allowing separate cultures or workflows to be maintained within the same footprint. The fanless chamber design promotes a uniform atmosphere while eliminating internal fans, ducts, and covers that can complicate cleaning, while dual-channel infrared CO₂ sensors provide reliable atmosphere control.
Designed for demanding cell culture environments, each C170i features a 180°C sterilization routine, and seamless stainless-steel chamber to support effective contamination prevention and straightforward routine cleaning. Rapid temperature and CO₂ recovery following door openings helps maintain stable culture conditions during frequent access, while the fanless design maximizes usable interior space and eliminates the need for replaceable fan-associated HEPA filters. The dual-stack configuration is well suited for laboratories looking to expand cell culture capabilities without dedicating additional floor space to separate incubators. Low CO₂ consumption helps control ongoing operating costs.
All of our equipment is fully tested to perform at factory specifications before being shipped.
The Eppendorf CellXpert C170i Incubator Dual Stack includes:
