PHCbi Cell-IQ Series Incubator – Features

The PHCbi Cell-IQ Series CO2 Incubator provides contamination-free operation with precise temperature and CO2 regulation for sensitive cell cultures. The InCu-saFe and SafeCell UV functions work together to ensure contamination prevention. The Direct Heat and Air Jacket system pairs with the IR2 sensor to regulate temperature and CO2 levels. The copper-enriched InCu-saFe stainless steel interior offers germicidal properties without corrosion or discoloration, ensuring long-term performance.

The incubator is designed for ease of use and efficiency. The LCD touchscreen panel allows protocol control, even with gloves. Integrated shelf channels simplify cleaning and increase capacity for cell culture containers and apparatuses. An isolated UV lamp decontaminates air and the water reservoir without harming cells. The antibacterial dew stick, managed by Peltier technology, collects condensation and returns water to the humidity pan, preventing unwanted moisture.

Testing

This PHCbi MCO-170AICUVHL-PA Incubator is used and reconditioned. Our technicians test CO2 incubators using a digital data logger to verify the accuracy of temperature controls and readouts, as well as using a Fyrite indicator to measure CO2 levels in the chamber. Additionally, if you have specific testing requirements or requests, please inform us. We will gladly address these requirements during testing.

We replace any hardware or parts as is necessary and clean all incubators thoroughly prior to shipment.

PHCbi MCO-17AIC-CUVHL-PA CO2 Incubator Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What type of incubator is the PHCbi MCO-17AIC-CUVHL-PA?

This model is a CO₂ cell culture incubator designed to provide precise control of temperature, CO2 concentration, and humidity for biological and clinical applications. It is part of the Cell-IQ series, which are built for reproducible and contamination-controlled cell culture environments.

How precise is the temperature control?

This model offers excellent temperature stability, with uniformity around ±0.25°C, helping ensure consistent experimental conditions throughout the chamber.

What are some common applications for the PHCbi MCO-17AIC-CUVHL-PA CO2 Incubator?

The PHCbi MCO-17AIC-CUVHL-PA is ideal for:

Mammalian cell culture

Tissue engineering

Pharmaceutical research

Clinical and diagnostic labs

Biotechnology and academic research

It is specifically designed for high-precision, contamination-sensitive applications.

What contamination control features are included with the PHCbi MCO-17AIC-CUVHL-PA CO2 Incubator?

The incubator incorporates multiple contamination control systems, including:

InCu-saFe copper-enriched stainless steel interior for passive antimicrobial protection

SafeCell UV (UV-LED) system for active air and water decontamination

Optional or integrated hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) or high-heat sterilization cycles depending on configuration

These layered protections help maintain a sterile culture environment. If you are looking for a specific type of contamination control please consult with the sales team at American Instrument Exchange for more information.

Does the incubator support sterilization or decontamination cycles?

Yes. Depending on the configuration, the system supports:

High heat sterilization up to 180°C (approximately 11-hour cycle)

Or rapid H₂O₂ vapor decontamination cycles (as short as ~3 hours)

These options allow flexible, thorough chamber sterilization without removing components.

How is humidity maintained inside the chamber?

Humidity is maintained through a natural evaporation system with a water pan, typically achieving ~95% relative humidity (±5%), ideal for preventing sample desiccation.

Does the incubator include data logging or connectivity?

Yes. Features include:

USB port for data export

Event and temperature logging

Compatibility with external monitoring systems (e.g., lab monitoring platforms)

These features support compliance and record-keeping in regulated environments.

Can the PHCbi MCO-17AIC-CUVHL-PA CO2 incubator be stacked?

Yes. The design supports stacked configurations, allowing multiple units to operate simultaneously while optimizing lab space and workflow efficiency. American Instrument Exchange can often offer discounts on stacked pairs of refurbished CO2 incubators.
