CellIx® CO₂ Incubator, 80L

HEPA Filters

Contamination control and elimination have been a major concern in cell culture laboratories. The in-built HEPA filters in CellIx® continuously filter the chamber air volume. The HEPA filter traps the particulate air borne contaminants, ensures the air inside the chamber remains clean and reduces cross contamination. Our HEPA continuously filters the entire chamber volume every 60 seconds and provides ISO Class 5 (Class 100) air quality conditions within 5 minutes of door opening.

Note: The Fan-less design model will have in-line air filters of 0.22 μm.

Dual Sterilization Modes

While you can manually clean the insides of the CO₂ incubator, this incubator is also equipped with optional dual sterilization method. CellIx® offers dual sterilization modes: a 140°C/180°C dry air sterilization cycle of 10 hours and sterilization by UV method.

The dry heat sterilization is usually chosen over the other methods, since it eliminates mycoplasma, fungi, yeasts, spores and molds. Our dry heat Sterilization sustains 120 cycles at the given temperature.

Easy to Use

You can activate the sterilization cycle with just a touch of a button.

Safe

Heating is automatically cut by safety device when temperature control fails or there is excessive heating over set point.

Effective

All 6 sides of the chamber are covered with heating wires which bring about uniform heating and provides fast heat- up & temperature recovery. Three parts of heating section are controlled and calibrated individually by 3 temperature sensors.

Incubator sterilization can be performed with a 4W UV lamp. The UV light doesn't reach the samples and sterilization can be performed during operation. UV sterilization causes an antimicrobial effect by the damage it causes to a microorganism's DNA when nucleotides absorb high energy photons. This can make UV sterilization an effective solution to reduce contamination.

Contamination Control & Elimination

CellIx® is optionally available with copper oxide chamber instead of the traditional stainless steel. Copper has natural bactericidal & fungicidal properties.
