Forma Steri-Cycle i250 CO2 Incubator with Copper Chamber/Steri 250i CU IR
The Thermo Scientific™ Forma™ Steri-Cycle™ i250 CO2 Incubators with Copper 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. Better solutions for optimal cell growth. Our CO2 incubators with copper interior chambers provide the ideal in-vitro environment. Large 255 L capacity provides space for high throughput applications and accomdates spaces for culture devices for larger sample output.

Direct heat chamber

255 L (9.0 cu.ft.) 100% solid copper 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

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
