Vios™ iDx CR 255 L CO₂ Incubator – CTS Series

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 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.
• IP54 rated electronics and sealed, brushed stainless steel exterior are certified cleanroom compatible to support your rigorous cleaning and disinfection protocols.
• Our exclusive particle control system protects your cleanroom by capturing particulates from the incubator through a rear-mounted HEPA filtration system.
• Proven compatible with common GMP facility protocols and cleanroom procedures including STERIS™ dry process systems using vaporized hydrogen peroxide (VHP) biodecontamination technology.
• Provided CTS Series factory acceptance test (FAT) documentation package with each unit includes everything you need for your audit:
  • Regulatory certificates
  • Recommended protocols
  • Certificates of conformance, calibration, sensor calibration, and technical specifications.
  • Third-party certificate of compatibility with ISO Class 5 and GMP Grade A/B cleanroom environments.

Designs that are ready for where your discoveries take you

• IR180Si CO₂ sensor 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.
• Optional Active CO₂ control functionality automatically adjusts levels, removing excess CO₂ released by large-capacity cell culture systems to maintain the CO₂ set point.
• 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.
• Independently evaluated design for production of advanced therapies in ISO Class 5, GMP Grade A/B environments. Each individual unit is tested to prove compatibility.

Seamless operations in modern labs

• Connectivity-ready design with front access USB port, optional 4-20 mA signal output (factory installed option). Compatible with Connect Edge and OPCUA Gateway, and CellMation, making the Vios iDx CR compatible with common GMP facility protocols and procedures.
