The Thermo Scientific HERAcell VIOS series represents a new era in advanced incubator design for sensitive cultures like stem and primary cells in leading research, pharmaceutical, and clinical laboratory applications.

Through a holistic approach to culturing, Thermo Scientific’s newest incubator series provides everything necessary for your most demanding and highly critical applications. By combining the latest technology advancements in contamination control and uniform growth conditions with existing proven and reliable features, you are now able to achieve your goals faster, more reliably, and with less effort.

Automated door locks automatically during sterilization process, preventing unwanted door opening and cycle disruption.

Revolutionary Thermo Scientific THRIVE active airflow technology delivers homogeneous growth conditions fast, avoiding unwanted sample variation.

Proven protection from every direction including ISO class 5 HEPA filtered air, on-demand high-temperature sterilization, and easy to maintain copper.

Designed to focus on convenience, allowing you to spend more time on your research and less time managing your incubator.

The HERAcell VIOS CO2 incubator delivers the performance reliability, ease of operation, and value required to support a range of culturing needs from basic research to demanding, leading-edge applications, so you’re ready for whatever comes next.

The temperature-resistant IR180Si infrared CO2 sensor replaces the traditional incandescent IR light source with silicon MEMS emitter technology that improves stability and reliable service life. This sensor is ideal for labs looking for the best of both technologies for advanced, high-volume, or value culturing.

• Internal auto-calibration eliminates drift due to changes in ambient conditions that can affect traditional IR sensors
• Measurement no affected by changes in temperature, humidity, oxygen, or barometric pressure
• Highly responsive with recovery under 5 minutes from door openings 

A traditional IR sensor contains an incandescent bulb that puts out less light as it ages, resulting in sensor drift. The IR180Si eliminates this problem. The silicon MEMS emitter is designed to retain intensity over time, lasting up to 50% longer than ordinary IR sensors.

The variable oxygen control (or tri-gas) incubators will generate conditions to help your cells grow faster and healthier. With the Heracell VIOS CO2 incubator, you can simulate hypoxic (1-21%) environments for primary cell, stem cell, and embryo research applications.

With segmented inner doors, accessing separate sections of the incubator is convenient, minimizing recovery time and contamination risk. 

Total control at your fingertips

The intelligent iCAN interface provides complete data visibility to monitor all incubator interaction, featuring door-mounted position for easy access, on-screen menu prompts, error and usage logs, data logging, performance trend graphing and multiple language selection.

rH monitoring assures the proper humidity level with indicator line icon. A low water alarm indicates critical low humidity levels requiring water addition.

The ISO 5 icon indicates the chamber has reached clean room air quality, protecting your cultures. 

On-demand data and error logs provide a downloadable history of activity and conditions including parameter changes and alarms.
