The Thermo Scientific HERAcell 150 incubator comes with a stainless steel or a fungicidal/bactericidal solid copper interior, and the acclaimed ContraCon 90°C decontamination routine for unsurpassed contamination prevention, even against mycoplasma. ContraCon gives the convenience of a thermal decontamination routine that does not require the removal and re-fitting of any sensors or shelves. The HERAcell 150 also has the proven contamination control and convenience offered by ContraCon
Superior Contamination Prevention:  We lead the market in pioneering innovations that reduce incubator contamination. The HERAcell 150i incubator incorporates:

• The ContraCon 90°C automatic decontamination routine, which decontaminates the entire interior and water reservoir without the need to remove sensors and fittings (in independent tests, ContraCon was proven to completely eliminate mycoplasma)
• Reduced internal surface area minimizes contamination-prone surfaces
• Smooth interior with rounded corners for easy cleaning
• Optional solid copper interior

TC or New IR CO2 Sensor Option: Choose the standard thermal conductivity (TC) sensor with accurate gas sensor technology, or select the optional infrared (IR) sensor with exclusive split-beam technology – the perfect sensor for precise CO2 control in fluctuating temperature and humidity conditions.

• Auto-zero self-calibration for long-term stability and more constant pH
• TCD and IR Sensors remain in place during ContraCon decontamination

Rapid Humidity Recovery: Fast humidity recovery times prevent cultures from drying out – a vital feature when the door is opened frequently or low media volumes are used.

• Large, directly-heated water reservoir
• Recovery times are up to 5 times faster than those of incubators with conventional water pans
• Water level alarm with audible and visual alerts
