The Thermo Scientific Large Capacity Reach-In CO2 Incubator offers 821 litre interior volume in an upright configuration. With a directed laminar airflow system, room for cell rollers and shakers and a 15.1 litre water reservoir, you culture large volumes of cells under uniform conditions.
The Thermo Scientific Large Capacity Reach-In CO2 Incubator offers 821 litre interior volume in an upright configuration. Therefore, you culture and store large volumes of patient or clinical samples. Additionally, you perform short-term growth studies and culture large-volume products that require precise incubation. As a result, your work grows alongside your increasing capacity needs.
The directed horizontal laminar airflow system drives air across the entire shelf surface using positive and negative pressure. Therefore, the temperature stays uniform, even under a full load or with heat-generating equipment. Moreover, the air feed plenum cannot be accidentally blocked by the chamber contents, which prevents temperature variations.
The cabinet accommodates cell rollers, shakers and other culturing equipment. Additionally, interior and exterior receptacles supply power to devices inside and outside the chamber. Two through-wall access ports accept probes, sensors and power cords without altering the cabinet. Thus, you configure the incubator flexibly.
The Enviro-Scan microprocessor message center controls all critical parameters without complex programming. The heated triple-pane glass door minimizes condensation and gives a clear view of your cultures. Additionally, you move the cabinet effortlessly thanks to swivel locking casters, which eases installation and cleaning.
The Large Capacity Reach-In is ideal for bioproduction in the pharmaceutical industry and biotech and large-scale culturing in the food industry. Also explore our other incubators and climate chambers or ask for advice via our contact page.

The cabinet suits bioproduction, clinical sample storage, short-term growth studies and high-throughput cell culturing. Therefore, this incubator fits laboratories that process large volumes or place equipment inside the chamber.
The Large Capacity Reach-In offers 821 litre interior volume with five standard shelves and up to 27 shelves. As a result, you store and culture large volumes of samples in a single upright cabinet.
The directed horizontal laminar airflow system drives air across the entire shelf surface. Therefore, the temperature stays uniform, even with cell rollers or shakers inside the chamber.
Yes, interior and exterior receptacles supply power to devices such as cell rollers and shakers. Moreover, two through-wall access ports accept probes and cables without altering the cabinet.
Yes, an optional cell roll system is available for monolayer cultures. Thus, you place a cell roller up to seven decks high with five positions per deck, for up to 35 bottles.
