Forma™ Steri-Cycle™ i160 CO2 Incubator with Copper Chamber . Steri i160 DUAL CU TC

The Thermo Scientific™ Forma™ Steri-Cycle™ i160 CO2 Incubators with Stainless-Steel Chambers are specifically designed to deliver the performance reliability, ease of operation, and value required to support a range of culturing needs from basic research to the demanding, leading-edge applications, so you’re ready for whatever comes next. Better solutions for optimal cell growth. Our CO2 incubators with non-corrosive stainless-steel interior chambers provide the ideal in-vitro environment.
Direct heat chamber

165L (5.8 cu.ft.) electropolished stainless steel chamber with compact footprint, easily stackable
Standard right hand door swing, field reversible by qualified service support

THRIVE active airflow

In-chamber fan gently distributes clean, humidified air throughout the chamber ensuring homogeneous conditions
Fast recovery of all parameters in 10 minutes or less for stable culturing conditions
Auto-stop function disables fan operation during door openings to minimize air exchange

ISO Class 5 HEPA filtration

In-chamber HEPA continuously filters the entire chamber air volume every 60 seconds
ISO Class 5 clean room air quality is achieved in the culture chamber within 5 minutes
Continuous protection minimizes airborne contaminants settling on interior surfaces

Covered Integrated humidity reservoir

Directly heated water reservoir provides stable high relative humidity levels, preventing culture desiccation
Cover limits particles and spilled media from settling into the reservoir, keeping water clean
Separating water provides a condensation free incubation chamber, limiting areas for contaminants to breed
5X faster humidity recovery than traditional water pan designs
Easy water handling: humidity reservoir may be filled or drained without removing shelves or cultures
Water level sensor indicates when a refill is needed

Steri-Run on-demand high temperature sterilization cycle

Independently validated overnight cycle ensures complete elimination of all biological contaminants
180°C cycle designed for uniform 12-log sterilization on all chamber surfaces
Simplifies cleaning and eliminates the need for separate autoclaving and reassembly of components

Intuitive, interactive iCAN touchscreen control

Bright LED screen to monitor all incubator interactions
Provides visibility to changes in culture environment with performance trend graphing, error and usage logs
Convenient on-screen user prompts and reminders for easy navigation
Selectable languages simplify operation: English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Japanese and Mandarin

Wireless Monitoring Solution
Thermo Scientific™ DeviceLink HUB™, our easy-to-install solution, works with the Thermo Fisher Cloud to monitor conditions inside your CO2 incubators. 

DeviceLink HUB monitors chamber temperature, gas levels, alarms, and alerts from the incubator data output connection, RS-232 or USB 
Alarms and notifications are also sent to the user by email and mobile push notification
DeviceLink HUB is an optional accessory for models with the iCAN touchscreen interface

In situ sensors and probes designed for precise control

Dual temperature probes for over temperature protection with operational back up
Thermal conductivity (TC) CO2 sensor with rH compensation designed for fast recovery and stable operation
