AvailableThe BIO-240RHP Pro CO₂ Incubator delivers the highest capacity in the BIO Series — 240L of water-jacketed precision incubation with touch screen intelligent control, 180°C dry heat + UV + HEPA triple sterilization, infrared CO₂ sensing at ±0.1%, automatic airflow adjustment, CO₂ pressure regulation, and a high-humidity stainless steel chamber — providing maximum throughput for large-scale pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and advanced research cell culture applications.
The BIO-240RHP Pro's touch screen intelligent controller provides full programmable control of all incubation parameters — temperature, CO₂, humidity monitoring, timer, and sterilization cycle management — from a single intuitive interface designed for the complexity of large-scale cell culture operation. The intelligent controller's advanced programming capability supports the multi-step protocol management required for large pharmaceutical production cell culture workflows, where temperature setpoint transitions, scheduled sterilization cycles, and defined incubation phase durations must be coordinated and documented systematically across the full production run.
The BIO-240RHP Pro's UV sterilization system provides scheduled UV-C decontamination of the 240L chamber interior between working sessions — a particularly important contamination maintenance measure in a high-capacity incubator where the larger interior surface area between full 180°C sterilization cycles represents a greater potential contamination harbourage risk. The UV system provides daily decontamination capability without the extended out-of-service time required for the full 180°C sterilization cycle, supporting continuous high-throughput cell culture operations.
The BIO-240RHP Pro's HEPA filter maintains ≥99.99% filtration efficiency for particles ≥0.3 μm throughout the continuous circulation of the 240L chamber's air volume. In the largest BIO Series chamber, HEPA filtration's role in the triple contamination control system is particularly critical — providing the only real-time, continuous contamination barrier between scheduled 180°C sterilization cycles during the extended periods when the high-capacity incubator is in active production use.
The BIO-240RHP Pro's automatic airflow adjustment system continuously optimises circulation fan speed based on real-time chamber conditions across the full 240L volume and 3 shelf levels. In the largest BIO Series chamber, achieving CO₂ and temperature uniformity from the top shelf (most distant from the heating elements and CO₂ inlet) to the bottom shelf requires active, intelligent airflow management — the automatic adjustment system continuously balances uniform distribution against gentle air movement to protect the large volume of simultaneously incubated cultures.
The BIO-240RHP Pro's CO₂ pressure regulation system ensures stable gas delivery to the 240L chamber at the flow rates required to maintain ±0.1% CO₂ accuracy and achieve ≤3 minute CO₂ recovery times after door opening. The 240L chamber volume requires greater CO₂ replenishment volumes after door opening than smaller models — making consistent inlet pressure regulation more critical for achieving the rated recovery performance during the high-frequency access periods typical in large-scale cell culture operations.
The BIO-240RHP Pro's 600 × 520 × 780 mm stainless steel chamber features an easy-clean design with a polished interior and rounded corners — providing the largest cleanable surface area in the BIO Series within a single water-jacketed unit. The stainless steel construction is fully compatible with the 180°C dry heat sterilization cycle, withstanding repeated thermal cycling to 180°C without degradation of surface finish or chamber geometry — maintaining effective sterilization performance throughout the BIO-240RHP Pro's operational lifetime.
The BIO-240RHP Pro's high humidity control system maintains ≥95% relative humidity throughout the 240L chamber volume — using a proportionally sized stainless steel water pan to provide sufficient natural evaporation output for the largest BIO Series chamber. Maintaining ≥95% humidity uniformly across the full 240L volume and 3 shelf levels ensures consistent culture medium osmolality for all cultures regardless of position — a critical requirement for large-scale pharmaceutical production incubation where culture consistency across all shelf positions directly affects product quality.
The BIO-240RHP Pro CO₂ Incubator integrates seven independent safety and monitoring systems scaled to its 240L, 1000W high-capacity specification — covering thermal protection, sensor integrity, CO₂ monitoring, door status, and sterilization tracking for safe large-scale pharmaceutical production and advanced cell culture operation.
The BIO-240RHP Pro's temperature alarms activate when chamber temperature exceeds user-configured high or low thresholds — providing early warning of thermal deviations that could affect the high-value large-scale cultures contained across all 3 shelf levels of the 240L chamber. The water jacket's high thermal mass moderates the rate of temperature deviation propagation — but early alarm notification ensures operator awareness before deviations exceed acceptable culture tolerance limits.
The BIO-240RHP Pro's independent temperature limiter cuts 1000W heating power automatically if the chamber temperature exceeds the safe upper limit — independently of the primary water jacket controller. At 1000W heating power and 240L water jacket thermal mass, an uncontrolled over-temperature event could sustain elevated temperatures for extended periods — making the independent limiter's automatic intervention capability the critical last line of thermal protection for the largest-value culture loads in the BIO Series.
The BIO-240RHP Pro continuously monitors all temperature and environmental sensors and activates failure alarms if any sensor malfunctions. In a 240L production-scale incubator where cultures may run for weeks, undetected sensor failure could allow silent environmental deviations to persist for days — the comprehensive sensor failure alarm system eliminates this risk by providing immediate notification of any monitoring gap across the full sensor suite.
The BIO-240RHP Pro's CO₂ condensation alarm monitors chamber conditions for condensation risk — protecting infrared sensor accuracy and CO₂ control reliability in the high-humidity ≥95% environment of the 240L chamber. At production scale, CO₂ control accuracy is directly linked to culture pH stability and product quality — the condensation alarm protects this critical parameter from humidity-related interference throughout extended production runs.
The BIO-240RHP Pro's independent temperature limiter operates as a dedicated secondary hardware protection layer — entirely separate from the primary controller — providing automatic heating cut-off and alarm notification at the defined limiter threshold. In a 1000W production-scale water-jacketed system, the independent limiter's hardware-level protection is the definitive safety backstop against primary controller malfunction during critical production cell culture operations.
The BIO-240RHP Pro's door open alarm activates when the chamber door remains open beyond the configured time limit — protecting the CO₂, temperature, and humidity environment of the 240L chamber during high-frequency access in production-scale operations. The larger 240L chamber requires more time to recover CO₂ and temperature equilibrium after door opening than smaller models — making door open duration monitoring an important operational parameter for maintaining recovery time performance within the rated ≤3 minute and ≤8 minute specifications.
The BIO-240RHP Pro's sterilization monitoring system tracks the time since the last 180°C dry heat sterilization cycle and alerts operators when the next cycle is due. In a 240L production incubator where the larger chamber surface area represents the greatest contamination risk in the BIO Series between sterilization cycles, consistent scheduling and execution of the 180°C sterilization cycle is the most important contamination management practice — the monitoring system ensures it is never missed.
