Description

Introducing the first-to-market, certified cleanroom compatible CO₂ Incubator, 3rd party validated to be appropriate for use ISO Class 5 and GMP grade A/B environments in accordance with ISO 14644-1. Featuring next-level particulate and contamination control, increased compatibility with cleaning procedures in the cleanroom, and documentation to support the validation process, this incubator sets the standard for transitioning for research to commercial settings.

NEW Certified Cleanroom and GMP Compatibility

• Certified compatible for ISO Class 5 and GMP Grade A/B environments in accordance with DIN EN ISO 14644-1
• Active Particle Control System patent-pending technology controlling the number of particulates released into the cleanroom
• Brushed stainless steel exterior casing with IP54 rating for superior cleaning compatibility
• Documentation package included to support timely and rapid validation processes

Direct Heat Chamber

• 255L electropolished stainless steel chamber with compact footprint, easily stackable
• Adjustable, perforated shelving

THRIVE  Active Airflow

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

ISO 5 HEPA Filtration

• In-chamber HEPA continuously filters the entire chamber air volume every 60 seconds
• ISO 5 clean room air quality is achieved in the culture chamber within five minutes
• Continuous protection by minimizing ability for contaminants to settle on interior surfaces

Protected Humidity Reservoir

• Directly heated water reservoir provides stable high relative humidity levels, preventing culture desiccation
• Condensation free inner chamber, prevents a breeding ground for contaminant
• 5X faster humidity recovery than traditional water pan designs

In situ sensors and probes

• Dual temperature probes for over temperature protection with operational back up
• Single beam, dual wavelength infrared (IR) CO₂sensor
• O₂control ranges 1 to 21% (hypoxic) and 5 to 90% (hyperoxic)

Steri-Run, high temperature defection cycle

• Overnight cycle simplifies cleaning and eliminates the need for separate autoclaving of parts
• 180°C cycle assures uniform 6-log sterilization on all chamber surfaces

Intuitive, interactive iCAN™ Touchscreen Control

• Bright, door-mounted display for easy accessibility and viewing
• Selectable languages simplify operation: English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Japanese and Mandarin
