The BIO-190RHP Pro CO₂ Incubator extends the BIO Series' advanced triple-sterilization water-jacketed technology to a 170L high-capacity format — delivering the same ±0.1°C temperature accuracy, ±0.1% IR CO₂ control, and 180°C dry heat + UV + HEPA contamination control framework as the compact BIO-150RHP Pro, across a substantially larger 3-shelf chamber designed for biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and advanced research laboratories running high-volume, high-value cell culture protocols. At 700W with a 530 × 460 × 720 mm chamber interior, the BIO-190RHP Pro provides the throughput capacity that growing research operations demand — without compromising the thermal stability, contamination protection, or control precision that long-term cell culture success requires.

The BIO-190RHP Pro CO₂ Incubator delivers 170L of water-jacketed precision cell culture incubation with touch screen programmable control, 180°C dry heat + UV + HEPA triple sterilization, infrared CO₂ sensing, automatic fan speed adjustment, CO₂ pressure regulation, and a 3-shelf stainless steel chamber — providing the contamination control and incubation precision required for advanced biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and cell culture research at higher throughput.
The BIO-190RHP Pro features a touch screen intelligent controller with programmable operation — supporting the storage and automated execution of multi-parameter incubation protocols with defined temperature, CO₂, and timing parameters. In a 170L incubator running multiple simultaneous cell culture projects, the ability to programme and recall specific protocol settings for each project eliminates manual setpoint entry errors and ensures consistent incubation conditions across repeated runs of the same protocol — critical for experimental reproducibility in biotechnology and pharmaceutical research.
The BIO-190RHP Pro's UV sterilization system provides scheduled UV-C surface decontamination between working sessions and as a supplementary maintenance measure between full 180°C dry heat cycles. In a 170L high-capacity incubator handling multiple cell lines and project types simultaneously, routine UV decontamination between user sessions provides an important additional contamination barrier — particularly in shared laboratory environments where different researchers access the same incubator with different culture types.
The BIO-190RHP Pro's microbiological HEPA filter maintains ≥99.99% filtration efficiency for particles ≥0.3 μm throughout the 170L chamber — continuously removing airborne biological contaminants from the circulated air during normal incubation operation. In a larger 170L chamber where greater air volume is circulated between the fan, HEPA filter, and culture surfaces, maintaining ≥99.99% filtration efficiency across the full chamber volume is particularly important for preventing airborne contamination events from affecting cultures spread across all 3 shelf levels simultaneously.
The BIO-190RHP Pro's automatic fan speed control adjusts airflow dynamically based on real-time chamber conditions — balancing the requirements of uniform CO₂ and temperature distribution across 3 shelf levels against the need for gentle air movement that does not physically disturb sensitive cultures. In a 170L, 3-shelf chamber, automatic fan speed optimisation is more critical than in compact 2-shelf units — as the greater vertical extent of the chamber creates more opportunity for CO₂ and temperature stratification if airflow is not actively managed.
The BIO-190RHP Pro's CO₂ inlet pressure control system maintains stable CO₂ delivery to the 170L chamber regardless of supply line pressure fluctuations from other connected equipment. A 170L chamber requires proportionally more CO₂ volume to recover to setpoint after door opening than the compact BIO-150RHP Pro — making consistent gas supply pressure control more important for achieving the rated ≤3 minute CO₂ recovery time after each door opening event during high-frequency access periods.
The BIO-190RHP Pro's water jacket heating system surrounds the 170L chamber with a uniform heated water envelope — providing the same high-thermal-mass temperature buffering as the compact BIO-150RHP Pro, scaled to a larger chamber volume. In a 170L incubator with 3 shelf levels, maintaining ±0.1°C temperature uniformity from top shelf to bottom shelf requires the thermal buffering that only water jacket heating can provide — air-jacketed systems at this chamber volume are more susceptible to vertical temperature gradients from the greater distance between heating elements and the central chamber volume.
The BIO-190RHP Pro's 170L chamber is constructed from polished stainless steel with an easy-clean design — providing a smooth, non-porous surface across the larger 530 × 460 × 720 mm interior that is fully compatible with the 180°C dry heat sterilization cycle, UV radiation, and standard laboratory disinfectant cleaning. The easy-clean design supports the thorough manual cleaning that complements the automated sterilization cycles — particularly important in a 170L incubator where the larger chamber surface area must be manually cleaned between sterilization cycles to prevent biological material accumulation.
The BIO-190RHP Pro maintains ≥95% relative humidity through natural evaporation across the full 170L chamber volume — requiring a proportionally larger stainless steel water pan than the compact BIO-150RHP Pro to provide sufficient evaporation surface area for the greater air volume of the larger chamber. The ≥95% humidity standard is maintained across all 3 shelf levels, ensuring consistent culture medium osmolality and preventing medium evaporation for all samples regardless of their position within the 170L chamber.
The BIO-190RHP Pro CO₂ Incubator incorporates seven independent safety and monitoring systems — covering thermal protection, sensor integrity, CO₂ monitoring, door status, and sterilization tracking — providing comprehensive protection for high-value cell culture and biotechnology research during continuous unattended incubation across all 3 shelf levels.
The BIO-190RHP Pro activates audible and visual alarms when chamber temperature deviates beyond the user-configured high or low threshold. In a 170L water-jacketed incubator, the high thermal mass of the water jacket means temperature deviations develop gradually — but the alarm system provides early warning of sustained deviations before they propagate through the water jacket to the chamber interior and affect the cell cultures on all 3 shelf levels simultaneously.
The BIO-190RHP Pro's independent temperature limiter cuts heating power automatically if chamber temperature exceeds the safe upper limit — operating independently of the primary water jacket temperature control system. At 170L scale with the thermal mass of the water jacket, an unchecked over-temperature event could sustain elevated temperatures for an extended period before self-correcting — making the independent limiter's rapid automatic response the critical protection for the high-value cell culture contents of the large chamber.
The BIO-190RHP Pro continuously monitors the operational integrity of all temperature and environmental sensors and activates dedicated failure alarms if any sensor malfunctions. In a 170L incubator running high-value biotechnology or pharmaceutical cell culture protocols over days or weeks, undetected sensor failure represents a serious risk to long-duration culture investments — the sensor failure alarm system ensures any monitoring gap is immediately communicated to operators.
The BIO-190RHP Pro's CO₂ condensation alarm detects chamber conditions conducive to CO₂ condensation — protecting the infrared sensor's measurement accuracy from humidity-related interference. In a 170L chamber operating at ≥95% humidity, condensation risk management is particularly important as the larger air volume provides more opportunities for localised condensation at cool chamber surfaces that could affect CO₂ sensor reliability.
The BIO-190RHP Pro's independent temperature limiter operates as a dedicated secondary protection circuit — separate from both the primary controller and the high temperature alarm — providing the final hardware protection layer against uncontrolled heating events in the 170L water-jacketed system. The limiter's alarm output provides clear operator notification of a serious thermal event requiring immediate investigation and intervention.
The BIO-190RHP Pro's door open alarm activates when the chamber door remains open beyond the configured time threshold — protecting the CO₂, temperature, and humidity environment of the larger 170L chamber. In a high-volume incubator accessed frequently by multiple researchers, the door open alarm provides an important operational discipline tool — reminding users to close the door promptly and minimising the recovery time required to restore stable incubation conditions across all 3 shelf levels.
The BIO-190RHP Pro tracks the time elapsed since the last 180°C dry heat sterilization cycle and issues a reminder alert when the next cycle is due. For a 170L incubator supporting multiple parallel biotechnology and pharmaceutical research projects, consistent adherence to the sterilization schedule is critical for maintaining the contamination-free environment across the larger chamber surface area — the automated monitoring removes reliance on manual scheduling records during busy multi-project laboratory periods.
