Eppendorf CellXpert C170i Cell Culture Incubator
Overview
CellXpert® Cell Culture Incubator – Shaping the Future of Cell Culture
Modern cell culture demands more than just optimized growth conditions and contamination prevention. The CellXpert® CO2 incubator family, designed and produced by Eppendorf in Hamburg, Germany, is crafted to meet the needs of both industrial and academic laboratories. These incubators help reduce time-to-market or publication by minimizing resource use and effort. Drawing on decades of experience with fan-assisted incubators, the CellXpert® series is ideal for challenging applications such as assay development and culturing stem cells, primary cells, or tissues.

Key Features
- Certified 180°C Sterilization: Includes a downloadable sterilization protocol for precise control and documentation.
- Uniform Atmosphere: Equipped with a dual-channel IR sensor (no TC sensor) for accurate CO2 control, ensuring temperature uniformity as verified by ISO 12880:2007-05. Temperature and CO2 levels recover within 5 minutes after door openings.
- Effective Contamination Prevention: Features a removable water tray for easy and safe weekly cleaning, aligning with good cell culture practices.
- Effortless Cleaning: Constructed with a stainless-steel, seamless chamber free from fans, ducts, and covers, simplifying cleaning.
- Space-Saving Design: Offers up to 25% more usable space with its fanless design. Includes 4 shelves (each supporting up to 10 kg/22 lbs) and 2 access ports. No need for costly parts like fan-related HEPA filters, which typically require replacement every six months.
- Low Gas Consumption: Consumes less than 1 L of CO2 per 24 hours (at 5% CO2, without door openings), reducing operational costs.
- Upgradeable Options: Includes retrofitting options for O2 control, door handle positioning, rH/water level monitoring, and segmented inner doors.
- GMP/Cleanroom Compatibility: Certified for ISO Class 4/Grade A cleanrooms (ISO 14644-1) and passes cytotoxicity testing (ISO 10993-5:2009). Features customizable tasks, alerts, user management, and offers IQ/OQ GxP service.
