The Heraeus Heracell 240 CO2 incubator is an ideal choice for the growth of cell and tissue cultures providing a perfect environment by controlling temperature and CO2 levels within an elevated humidity chamber. These units feature a copper lined interior and shelves for natural fungicidal and germicidal effect which combined with the system’s automatic programmed ContraCon decontamination routine make for a simple and highly effective sterilization process between product runs. The design of the water reservoir provides a humidity recovery time after door opening up to five times faster than common CO2 incubators with water trays.
