Eppendorf C170 Cell Culture Incubator



Product Information

The C170 is the basic version of the C170i. It comes with the same uniform atmosphere, fast recovery, cleanability, high usable space but for example with a simpler user interface and less in-field upgradeable options. Use the flyer “C170i vs. C170” to find the right device for your needs.


  • Effective contamination protection: 140 °C sterilization routine
  • Uniform atmosphere: Dual-channel IR-sensor (no TC-sensor), temperature uniformity verified (ISO 12880:2007-05), temperature and CO2 recovery after door opening < 5 min
  • Easy cleaning: Stainless-steel chamber without seams, fan, ducts, covers etc. and removable water tray for safe and easy weekly cleaning and refill according to good cell culture practice
  • Save money: Up to 25 % more usable space by fanless design, 3/4 shelves (max. load per shelf: 10 kg/22 lbs) + 2 access ports included, no costly internal expendable parts like fan-associated HEPA-filters that require bi-annual replacement
  • Enhanced vibration and turbulence protection: No fan inside
  • Low gas consumption: <1 L CO2/24 h (5 % CO2, w/o door opening)
  • You need more? If you need more options (e.g. O2 control, humidity monitoring, copper interior), 180 °C disinfection, or future flexibility – consider the CellXpert® C170i
