Heraeus HERAcell 150 CO2 Incubator (5.3 Cu-Ft)

The HeraCell 150 represents the pinnacle of CO2 incubator technology, offering unparalleled performance and precision for cell and tissue cultures. This incubator is meticulously designed to provide a controlled environment that closely mimics body temperature, ensuring optimal conditions for the development of cells, embryos, and other sensitive cultures.

The Heraeus HeraCell 150 features an advanced temperature control system with a range from ambient +3°C to 55°C, maintaining a temperature deviation of ±0.1°C over time and ±0.5°C spatially. This precise temperature management ensures consistent and reliable growth conditions for your cultures.

The incubator’s direct humidification system provides high relative humidity (≥95% rH) and rapid recovery times. Compared to conventional water tray systems, the HeraCell 150’s humidity recovery time is up to five times faster, reducing the risk of culture dehydration and ensuring optimal growth conditions.

Unique to Heraeus incubators, ContraCon is an automated decontamination routine using moist heat at 90°C. This process effectively eliminates mycoplasma and maintains a constant surface temperature on all contamination-prone surfaces. ContraCon has been validated by independent laboratories for its effectiveness.

The Heraeus HeraCell 150 includes precise CO2 and O2 measurement and control systems. The CO2 control range is from 0 to 20% with a precision of ±0.1%, while the O2 control range extends from 1 to 21% or 5 to 90%, also with a precision of ±0.1%. This ensures a precise and stable incubation atmosphere tailored to specific experimental needs.

The HeraCell 150 offers a generous total volume of approximately 151 liters. It features an interior in stainless steel, known for its effective contamination control properties. The incubator supports up to 10 shelves (2 shelves included), allowing flexible configurations for various experimental setups.
