The Thermo Scientific™ Forma™ Steri-Cycle™ i160 CO2 incubator with the Thermo Scientific™ Cell Locker™ System combines leading technology with an innovative, patented solution of removable, protected chambers designed for improved culturing efficiency and security for sensitive cultures, such as stem and primary cells, used in cutting edge applications. Enhancing the advanced features of the Forma Steri-Cycle i160 CO2 incubator, the Cell Locker System is a breakthrough for cultures in frequently opened or shared use incubators. Cross contamination from neighbouring cultures or circulating microorganisms is a constant risk in many traditional incubators. In the Forma Steri-Cycle CO2 incubator, the HEPA system filters the entire incubator air volume to achieve ISO Class 5 cleanroom air quality. The Cell Locker further protects from cross contamination by dividing the incubator into six individual chambers.
