Product description

PHCBi MCO-170AICUVL-PA CO2 incubator offers precise temperature, PID-controlled dual-wave IR CO2 sensing, and continuous UV contamination control.

The PHCBi MCO-170AICUVL-PA Cell IQ CO2 Incubator is designed for stable and contamination-controlled cell culture environments, essential for biotechnology workflows such as molecular diagnostics, bioprocessing, and synthetic biology research. This air-jacketed incubator employs natural convection airflow and PID-controlled dual-wave infrared CO2 sensors to maintain precise chamber conditions, with CO2 regulation unaffected by humidity fluctuations.

Key features include:

  • Contamination control through the proprietary SafeCell UV system that continuously circulates air via an ozone-free UV lamp, reducing airborne contaminants without interrupting culture processes.
  • Interior chamber surfaces and shelves made of InCu-SaFe copper-enriched stainless steel, actively suppressing microbial growth while allowing easy cleaning. This technology is critical for maintaining aseptic conditions during long-term cell culturing.
  • Temperature control range from +5°C above ambient to +50°C with ±0.25°C uniformity, supporting cell lines requiring strict incubation parameters often found in biomanufacturing and molecular cloning workflows.
  • Humidity management is achieved through natural evaporation with a humidifying pan, maintaining 95% relative humidity ±5%, limiting cellular dehydration and maintaining optimal growth conditions for sensitive cultures.
  • Supports stackable configurations for increased capacity in fertility labs, tissue engineering setups, and biomedical engineering applications.

Technical specifications:

  • Interior volume: 5.8 cu.ft. (165 L)
  • Dimensions (interior): 20 x 18 x 25 inches
  • Exterior footprint: 25 x 30 x 35 inches
  • CO2 control range: 0–20% with ±0.15% variation using PID system
  • Air filter efficiency: ≥99.97% at 0.3 µm particle size
  • UV Lamp: 4W ozone-free emission for continuous decontamination
  • Weight: 176 lbs
  • Power: 110-120V, 60 Hz, 376W power consumption

This incubator is widely adopted in synthetic biology research and clinical diagnostics, where contamination control and precise environmental regulation are paramount. It is especially valuable in biopharmaceutical production pipelines that demand consistent cell growth conditions combined with uninterrupted aseptic processing. The MCO-170AICUVL-PA's unique combination of dual-wave IR CO2 sensing, combined with SafeCell UV decontamination and copper-enriched surfaces, makes it an indispensable tool for advanced cell culture and biotechnology laboratories.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Yes. Every verified supplier states which service partners cover the instrument, and we list that alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
