Uniform Consistent Environment: InCu-saFe and SafeCell UV function together to create contamination control against external microbes. A unique heating system and the dual filter infrared sensor precisely control temperature and CO2 levels, respectively.
Rapid CO2 Recovery with Dual-Wave Infrared (IR) Sensor: A dual filter infrared sensor signals the microprocessor controller to inject CO2 to maintain desired setpoint conditions. Sensor response accelerates CO2 recovery to setpoint without overshoot following frequent door openings.
Dual Heat Sterilization: An integrated auxiliary sterilization system is utilized together with the CO2 incubator cultivation heaters to provide an effective, energy efficient sterilization process. The primary heater maintains precise temperature control over a setpoint range from 5°C above ambient to 50°C. The secondary heater is activated when the high heat sterilization cycle is initiated as both heaters combine to reach 180°C. Specialized melamine foam insulation minimizes heat leakage to adjacent incubators and dramatically reduces elevated external surface temperatures.
Incubator Decontamination with InCu-saFe and SafeCell UV: The PHCbi inCu-saFe copper enriched, stainless steel interior surfaces create a germicidal barrier to airborne contaminants that enter the dry heat incubator during door openings. The PHCbi inCu-saFe combines the germicidal properties of elemental copper with the corrosion and discoloration resistance of stainless steel. SafeCell UV lamp decontaminates circulated air and the humidity reservoir.
Triple Protection Incubator Decontamination: The MCO-170AICUVDL-PA automatic high heat sterilization CO2 incubator is designed for use in medical and government research, pharmaceutical and biotech applications. This dry heat incubator includes three methods of protection against cell culture contamination. In addition to inCu-saFe and SafeCell UV contamination control, an optional, manually initiated high heat sterilization cycle provides a 180°C (355°F) decontamination process without the need to remove CO2 incubator chamber components.

Testing
This PHCbi 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 work with you to ensure these requirements are addressed during testing.
We replace any hardware or parts as is necessary and clean all incubators thoroughly prior to shipment.
