PHCbi IncuSafe Multigas Incubator MCO-170M-PE – virtual in vivo cell culturing

The 161-litre format MCO-170M-PE is one of a range of four PHCbi IncuSafe Multigas Incubators that offer ultra-precise regulation of oxygen and CO2, while maintaining superior temperature uniformity, contamination control, and usability. This makes them ideal for replicating virtual in vivo conditions to optimize the culturing of cells.

The MCO-170M with built in UV lamp and H₂O₂ decontamination options is ideally suited for mammalian tissue research applications, cellular therapy, stem cell research, pathophysiological studies and pharmaceutical production processes.

Design and features

PHCbi Multigas Incubators stress rigorous contamination control and ease of use, with a combination of microprocessor control, touch screen interface, and control systems for temperature and gas content that allow very precise regulation of chamber environment while maintaining superior temperature uniformity across a range from +5℃ above ambient to 50℃.

The PHCbi MCO-170M-PE IncuSafe Multigas Incubator provides effective capacity of 161 liters in an easily accessed double door enclosure with inner glass doors fronting three incubation shelves with PHCbi IncuSafe antibacterial copper-alloy stainless interior chamber and plenum lining that help to eliminate molds, spores and other contaminating spills, kills mycoplasma, creating a noncorrosive environment.

It is fitted with PHCbi’s single-beam, dual detector infrared (IR2) CO₂ sensor to help ensure ultra-fast CO₂ recovery without overshoot, even following multiple door openings whilst the unique solid-state Zirconia O₂ sensor delivers precise control of physiological oxygen levels to simulate in vivo conditions.

The design also stresses active background decontamination with PHCbi’s exclusive IncuSafe copper-enriched stainless steel alloy interior offering the germicidal properties of copper and the durability of stainless steel. The optional, isolated, SafeCell UV lamp decontaminates circulating air and water in the humidifying pan, without harming cultured cells.

Other features include:

• USB port for data export
• Optional passcode-protected electric door lock for added security
• LCD touch screen for ease of use
• Adjustable shelves with integrated shelf supports for easy reconfiguring of storage
• Exclusive IncuSafe copper-enriched stainless-steel interior for passive contamination resistance
• Direct Heat and Air Jacket Heating System for temperature stability and uniformity
• Optional Hydrogen Peroxide (H₂0₂) Vapor Decontamination for faster decontamination procedures

The MCO-170M range is available in two other 161 liter models: MCO-170MUV standard model with UV lamp and MCO-170MUVH, also fitted with H₂O₂ decontamination as a standard in addition to the UV lamp.

Applications and Benefits

Culturing cells at physiological oxygen levels allows them to grow faster, live longer, and experience fewer mutations. The MCO-170M Multigas Incubator helps to achieve more accurate results when culturing cells at physiological oxygen levels and is therefore ideally suited for mammalian tissue research applications, cellular therapy, stem cell research, pathophysiological studies and pharmaceutical production processes.

These qualities make this incubator ideally suited for stem cell research & differentiation, In vitro fertilization, regenerative medicine, primary cell culturing, cancer research, and embryo studies.

These and other laboratory applications are supported by a distinctive set of user benefits that include:

• Close reproduction of in vivo conditions
• Timesaving H₂O₂ Decontamination
• Improved Use & Maintenance
• Efficient Workflows
• Intuitive User Interface
