Direct heat chamber
·165L (5.8 cu.ft.) electropolished stainless steel 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
· Selectable languages simplify operation: English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Japanese and MandarinIn 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
