Available with a fungicidal/bactericidal solid copper interior, the Heraeus® HERAcell® 240 CO
2 incubator provides a stable growing environment and contamination protection for cell and tissue cultures. The 8.4 cu/ft capacity unit incorporates the ContraCon 90 C automatic decontamination routine, which eliminates mycoplasma, bacteria, fungi and spores without the need to remove and subsequently re-fit shelves and sensors. A large, directly heated water reservoir and a water level alarm provide optimal growth conditions, prevent cultures from drying out, and improve humidity recovery times. Optional O
2 control is offered for applications requiring decreased or increased O
2 conditions. The incubator can be configured with either a thermal conductivity CO
2 sensor, with auto-zero self-calibration to ensure long-term stability and constant culture pH, or a unique dual-beam infrared sensor that provides precise CO
2 control in fluctuating temperature and humidity conditions. The HERAcell 240 is available with integrated bottle turning devices and six gas-tight inner glass doors.
