Vios™ iDx 255 L CO₂ Incubators

Evolve, expand, excel. The Thermo Scientific Vios iDx line of CO₂ incubators has led cell culture incubation technology since they were introduced more than 10 years ago. Scientists at the top of their field choose Vios iDx CO₂ incubators to support their most demanding and critical applications from research to discovery, development, production scale-out, and automation.

Trustworthy, proven performance, and protection for sensitive cell cultures

• Thermo Scientific™ THRIVE™ active airflow technology for homogenous growth conditions and fast recovery of all parameters, minimizing the exposure of cell cultures to fluctuations and maintaining stable conditions with recovery of all parameters in ten minutes or less.
• Thermo Scientific™ Steri-Run™ high-temperature sterilization cycle is independently proven to provide a 12-log sterility assurance level and reaches at least 180°C in all areas, based on 48-point temperature mapping.
• In-chamber HEPA filtration achieves ISO Class 5 clean room-like air quality conditions within only five minutes after a 30-second door opening

Designs that are ready for where your discoveries take you

• Choice of IR180Si or TC180 CO₂ sensor configured in situ for fast recovery and long service life.
• Condensation-free humidification system with protected, integrated 3-L water reservoir. Easily fill or drain without removing cultures to help keep sterilized distilled water clean. Slide out cover allows full access for cleaning.
• Large, crisp 7-in. touchscreen display for quicker at-a-glance monitoring of chamber conditions. Set language and programmable access code provide additional accessibility and security.
• Ergonomic door design to make routine loading, unloading, and checking on cultures easier than ever. Electromagnetic door lock comes standard.
• Tri-gas options offer variable oxygen control for physiological tissue research. Simulate hypoxic (1-21% O₂) or hyperoxic (5-90% O₂) conditions based on application.
• Select electropolished stainless steel or 100% pure copper interior, with easy-to-clean curved interior chamber corners and shelving designs that are easy to install and remove without tools.

Seamless operations in modern labs

• Connectivity-ready for data management including front-access USB port and optional 4-20 mA signal output or Gateway for OPC-UA for remote monitoring with external data collection solutions, ideal for GMP environments meeting CFR-21 compliance
• 165 L models offer enhanced protection for valuable samples when configured for Thermo Scientific™ Cell Locker™ Systems. Find out more at thermofisher.com/celllocker
• 255 L models offer increased culturing capacity when configured for Thermo Scientific™ CultiMaxx™ Shelving Systems. Find out more at thermofisher.com/cultimaxx

Available language options include English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Japanese, and Mandarin. Specifications achieved under standard laboratory conditions at sea level, at a +22°C ambient condition, and nominal operating voltage. Other process conditions or ambient temperatures or altitude can affect performance. For example, a change of 2°C ambient temperature can influence the humidity by 1% rH.
