Cell Culture Incubators Capabilities

As a crucial piece of laboratory equipment, PHCbi brand cell culture incubators are designed to ensure highly accurate, reproducible chamber conditions. Our cell culture incubators provide a contamination-free environment while allowing precise CO₂ control - essential for in vivo environment replication.

Uniform Consistent Environment

The patented Direct Heat and Air Jacket system, Dual Infrared (IR) sensor, SafeCell™ UV and inCu-saFe® work together to ensure precise temperature, CO₂ levels and contamination control respectively for a precise and repeatable environment.

Rapid CO₂ Recovery with Dual IR Sensor

A Dual IR CO₂ sensor provides superior CO₂ control with fast recovery without overshoot even following multiple door openings as well as being unaffected by chamber humidity levels compared to less accurate TC sensors (see our document on CO₂ sensors below in the Technical & Educational Resources section).

Time Saving Decontamination

A high speed decontamination system uses hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) vapor to clean the incubator chamber in under three hours. This system safely and efficiently decontaminates with a 100% kill rate¹ with at least a six log reduction of major contaminants.

Contamination Control with SafeCell UV and InCu-saFe

The PHCbi inCu-saFe combines the germicidal properties of elemental copper with the corrosion and discoloration resistance of stainless steel to deliver passive contamination control throughout the chamber interior of integrated shelves and rounded corners. The SafeCell UV lamp provides safe, active and passive contamination control of circulated air and the humidity water reservoir. SafeCell scrubs and decontaminates circulated chamber air without affecting cell cultures.²

Color LCD Display

The high contrast color LCD display allows for easy, touchscreen programming of temperature, CO₂and other internal conditions of your incubator even with gloved hands.

USB Log Function for Data Transfer and Storage

A standard USB port simplifies the storage or transfer of logged data such as setpoints, parameters, and decontamination cycles.

The Next Generation of Incubator Technology

Enhance the production yield of your cell culture experiments with PHCbi's large capacity CO₂ incubator. Part of the Cell-IQ CO₂ series, the MCO-230AICUVHL-PA is the ideal high throughput cell culture incubator for culturing or protocols that may require the use of an experimental apparatus.

The MCO-230AICUVHL-PA Cell-IQ™ Series 8.1 cu.ft. CO₂ Incubator for Cell Culture contains the patented Direct Heat and Air Jacket system to provide precise temperature and CO₂ levels, time-saving decontamination, and an intuitive control panel interface for easy programming.
