Friocell EVO CO2

Large volume CO2 Incubators with Active Cooling

The Friocell EVO CO2 combines precise temperature and CO2 control in a single large-capacity chamber, supporting cell culture, virology, and cancer research applications that require more volume than a standard benchtop incubator provides. A Vaisala drift-free CO2 sensor maintains accurate gas concentration, while active cooling extends the working range down to 0°C for applications requiring cooler incubation conditions. Available in chamber sizes from 8ft³ to 43ft³, the Friocell EVO CO2 delivers the scale and precision demanding research applications require.

Built for Stable Cell Culture Conditions

Stainless steel construction and a drift-free CO2 sensor for accurate culture conditions and lasting durability.

Every element of the Friocell EVO CO2, from its seamless stainless steel chamber to its drift-free CO2 sensor, works to protect long-duration cultures from temperature swings, gas drift, and contamination that can undo months of research.
  • Seamless 304 stainless steel chamber with rounded corners to simplify cleaning.
  • Fully removable inner chamber walls improves access for thorough cleaning and maintenance.
  • Molded shelving brackets in the chamber walls spaced 2.8″ apart allow for flexible shelf positioning to accommodate varying loads.
  • 4-point door latch system securely seals the door to the chamber gasket.
  • Five layers of insulation minimizes heat loss and efficiently maintains chamber conditions.
  • Vaisala drift-free infrared CO2 sensor provides accurate carbon dioxide measurements without requiring additional auto-referencing or zeroing to prevent calibration drift.
  • Standard 2″ stainless steel access port with 1″, 2″, and 4″ options available for routing sensors, probes, or external connections.
  • Inner glass door allows sample viewing without disrupting chamber conditions.

Full Control Over the Culture Environment

The EVO controller manages temperature, humidity, and CO2 in real time, ensuring stable parameters throughout extended incubation periods.

The Friocell EVO CO2 is equipped with the EVO controller, featuring a 5.7-inch color touchscreen with glove-friendly operation and Fuzzy Logic for real-time adaptive control. With 100 stored programs and 100 segments each, the EVO controller supports diverse research protocols across unlimited cycles, while continuous monitoring of temperature, humidity, and CO2 concentration ensures your cultures stay within the precise conditions your research demands.
  • 5.7-inch color touchscreen with glove-friendly operation.
  • Fuzzy logic microprocessor for real-time adaptive control.
  • 100 stored programs with 100 segments eachfor diverse test profiles, unlimited cycles.
  • Real-time programming with configurable temperature ramping settings.
  • Graphic cycle display for easy cycle status monitoring.
  • Acoustic and visual alarms with continuous chamber condition monitoring.
  • Integrated 30-day data logger with Excel-formatted export.
  • USB, SD card, RS 232, and optional Ethernet connectivity for data export and network integration.
  • Multi-level user authentication and optional 21 CFR Part 11-supporting data management through Warmcomm software.

Precise Temperature Uniformity Through Patented Forced Air Convection

Simultaneous vertical and horizontal airflow that eliminates temperature and CO2 concentration gradients across every shelf position.

The patented forced air convection system generates simultaneous vertical and horizontal airflow that circulates from the bottom of the chamber to the top, simulating natural airflow principles. The result is uniform temperature and CO2 distribution throughout the chamber, ensuring every culture sample receives the same incubation conditions regardless of shelf position.
  • Simultaneous vertical and horizontal airflow eliminates the hot and cold zones common in single-direction forced air systems.
  • Bottom-to-top circulation simulates natural airflow principles, providing greater accuracy to real-world conditions.
  • Simultaneous, bottom-to-top airflow delivers consistent conditions across every sample, supporting accurate, reproducible results.
