Clean and good cosmetic condition. CO2 tested and functional, however the unit heat relay appears to be out. The unit will not respond to heat set point at all and with this unit, the relay is the most common culprit. Our CPU board solder tech is currently unavailable, good news to anyone looking for a copper-chambered HERACell at a discounted price.
All other sensors appear to be registering correctly (door, CO2, fill water etc). The hose barb on the CO2 filter cartridge is broken off so this disposable unit will need to be replaced.
The interior is obviously less polished looking than our usual stainless surface units. We did not go beyond a light surface cleaning on the copper as the manual suggested that the oxidation was part of the antimicrobial function:
"When exposed to heat and humid air, the copper material of the interior container will oxidize. This results
in a discoloration of the copper components during the test run for checking the device functions. Do not
remove the oxide layer during routine cleaning as the antimicrobial effect of the copper material is based
on it".
This unit comes with power cord and 3 shelves as shown.
Manufacturer Description
The HERAcell 150 is a high-performance CO2 incubator with a full copper chamber, designed to provide a stable and precisely controlled environment for cell culture applications.
The HERACell 150 utilizes a thermal conductivity (TC) sensor with accurate gas sensor technology. The incubator's air jacket maintains temperature uniformity and quick set-up time. ContraCon 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).
