Features:

VivoCell™ Precise Temperature, CO2 Control and High Humidity

• Best uniformity and control among competition
• Fast CO2, temperature and humidity recovery without overshoot
• Direct heat design for rapid recovery, with 8 heater grouped into 3 zones
• Air jacket provides isolation against ambient temperature fluctuations
• VentiFlow™ forced convection accelerates recovery of chamber air to ISO Class 5 Cleanliness after door closing to prevent contamination
• Filtered air circulates across water pan to accelerate humidifying process
• Air flows gently around culture plates, causing no disturbance to cell culture
• Blower automatically stops when door is opened, to minimize mixing of chamber and room air

CelSafe™ Contamination Control System Provides Seamless Protection

• SteriSafe™ ULPA filtration enables the chamber air to be maintained at ISO class 5 condition.
• SwiftCon™ moist heat 90°C decontamination cycle operates overnight to eradicate any contamination in the unlikely event it occurs. At the end of the cycle, the chamber is dry and ready to use.
• All input gases are filtered by in-line filters before they enter the chamber to remove impurities and contaminants.
• The incubator's main body is made from electro-galvanized steel with Esco’s unique ISOCIDE antimicrobial coating.
• The interior of the chamber is made from stainless steel type 304.

User-friendly software interface

• Comprehensive user-configurable alarms for all the parameters.
• CelAlert™ alarm system reminds user to replace CO2 tank and ULPA filter.
• Intelligent data and event logger records all incubator parameters for on screen recall.
• 16 MB built-in flash memory guarantees long term storage of data.
• Diagnostic interface and on line quick help provide comprehensive solutions to frequently. encountered problems.
• RS485 data output.
