Heal Force CO2 Incubators

Heal Force CO2 Incubators

Progen Scientific offer four models of Carbon dioxide incubators in the Heal Force ® range. They are manufactured to ISO 9001 and EN 46001 (from TÜV Germany) Quality Assurance Systems and are CE marked. The four models are:

All Heal Force Incubators come with a 5 year parts and labour warranty

Easy and reliable operation

"Easy and reliable operation for standard applications" are the customers' requirements for standard C02 incubators

Microprocessor control

All control functions and data are controlled and monitored by a microprocessor. If a failure happens, the microprocessor will give out warning messages and 'Error Code' messages.

Precise C02 control

Based on the proven thermal conductivity (TCD) testing method, a reliable C02 measuring sensor is installed to measure and control the concentration of CO2 gas in the chamber, which ensures long term stability of pH values, even in the lower CO2 range.

Heating system

Unique direct heating and air jacket system maintains the inner chamber at a constant and stable temperature. This allows the Heal Force ® incubators to operate under a perfect temperature / humidity environment and to maintain appropriate osmotic pressure in cells. The inner chamber is surrounded by a layer of insulation material, which prevents the incubator's temperature from dropping too fast during a case of power failure. The outer door of the unit is also heated and the heating can be switched off separately if necessary. Also, it eliminates condensation on the interior glass door.

Reliable temperature control

High grade temperature sensor made of platinum (Pt100), together with the microprocessor controller ensures accurate and reliable temperature measurement and control. Thus, the incubators can offer a reliable temperature control within the range ambient +5oC to 50oC. Even more, an independent temperature sensor for over-temperature protection is installed for double controlling. It will take over the temperature controlling function if the main temperature controller fails.

High humidity

The incubators operate at a high relative humidity by placing distilled water in the 3 litre capacity of the base of the chamber. This protects samples from drying out and maintains the appropriate osmotic pressure in cells, which is ideal for long term cultures.

'Auto-start' function

Through the 'auto-start' function, the incubators will set up an accurate culture environment when the incubators are turned on for operation.

Interior design

Smooth and corrosion-resistant stainless steel surface with speciallly designed round inner corners makes cleaning work easier.

Rapid recovery time

It ensures that the culture conditions in the chamber recover quickly, which is very important for short term cultures, or when the door is frequently opened and closed.

UV light disinfection (for HF151UV and HF212UV only)

A long life UV light is installed in the chamber to optimise contamination elimination.

90oC moist heat disinfection (for HF90 and HF240 only)

During daily applications, one of the most headache problems is called micro-organism contamination inside the incubator chamber. To eliminate the contamination, normally people use manual cleaning, UV light disinfection (as with HF151UV and HF212UV models), or HEPA filer filtration. However, none of them can offer a complete solution to eliminate contamination. Now, the HF90 and HF240 models of CO2 incubators can be a new solution. They are equipped with a new function called 90oC moist heat disinfection. By pressing the button '90oC' on the control panel, the incubator will carry on a complete circle of disinfection procedure.

The incubator will increase the chamber temperature up to 90oC and maintain it for 9 hours. The humidity inside the chamber will be above 80%. The it will recover to the working parameters in about 14 hours (depending on the environment temperature). All the accessories inside the chamber like CO2 sensor, fan and shelves are heat resistant. The user just needs to take out the culture flasks or dishes, and the disinfection procedure will be done automatically.

The results of the 90oC moist heat disinfection procedure are teastly strictly according to international standards. The germ, Bacillus subtilis varietas niger spore (ATCC 9372), which is recommended for official sterilisation by Ph. Eur. 97, 5.1.2 and USP 23.(3), is employed to test the result of 90oC moist heat disinfection function. In average, 5.5 x 10,000 cfu/sample is distributed on all the surfaces of the chamber. After the disinfection procedure, all the sample areas are tes6ted as negative and the elimination rate is 100%
