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
