PHCBi MCO-170AICUVL-PA Cell IQ CO2 Incubator with SafeCell UV Decontamination & Dual-Wave IR CO₂ Sensing
Product Description
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.
