Precise and stable environment

The Direct Heat and Air Jacket System provides accurate, uniform and highly responsive chamber temperature control. Combined with the Dual IR CO₂ sensor, the incubator ensures fast recovery after door openings without overshoot.

This stable environment supports reliable cell culture growth and highly reproducible results.

Advanced contamination control

The copper-enriched InCu-saFe stainless steel interior combines the germicidal properties of copper with the durability of stainless steel. Together with the SafeCell UV-LED lamp, contamination risks are significantly reduced.

The SafeCell UV-LED system continuously decontaminates circulating air and water in the humidifying pan without affecting cultured cells.

Rapid decontamination cycle

The integrated high-speed decontamination system uses vaporised hydrogen peroxide and UV-LED light to safely decontaminate the chamber in less than three hours.

This process achieves a minimal 6-log reduction of common contaminants while reducing downtime and supporting laboratory productivity.

Key benefits

Outstanding contamination control

SafeCell UV-LED technology and InCu-saFe copper-enriched stainless steel help maintain sterile culture conditions.

Reliable reproducibility

Stable temperature and CO₂ control support consistent and reproducible cell culture results.

Efficient workflows

Rapid decontamination and user-friendly operation help reduce downtime and improve laboratory efficiency.

User-friendly operation

A full colour LCD touchscreen allows intuitive operation, even while wearing gloves. Logged data can easily be transferred via USB for monitoring and record keeping.

Cleanroom compatible

The MCO-173AICUVH-PE is designed for use in cleanroom environments and supports demanding laboratory applications requiring contamination control and environmental stability.

Notes

  • 1) Exterior dimensions of main cabinet only, excluding handle and other external projections.
  • 2) When set temperature is 37°C, ambient temperature must be 32°C or lower. Regardless of ambient temperature, the maximum of temperature control range is always 50°C.
  • 3) Ambient temperature 23°C, setting 37°C, CO₂ 5%, no load.
  • 4) Nominal value.
  • 5) If stacking two incubators, make sure the double-stacking dedicated securing hardware and spacer are used.
