Cell Culture Equipment that Guards Against Contamination
A multi-layered contamination-control system protects your cultures from environmental and biological risk. Explore the features offered in specific PHCbi models:
InCuSafe Interior
Copper‑enriched stainless steel inhibits microbial growth on interior surfaces, supports a cleaner chamber environment.
SafeCell UV-LED
Ozone‑free UV‑LED irradiation reduces airborne contaminants without affecting cell viability.
H2O2 Decontamination
A validated hydrogen‑peroxide cycle sterilizes the chamber quickly between workflows.
High-Heat Sterilization
High‑heat decontamination heats the chamber to 180 °C for a complete, automated pathogen‑destroying cycle without removing incubator components.
 

Contamination Survival Under SafeCell UV System

SafeCell UV tests on humidity pan water demonstrate how periodic exposure to narrow bandwidth ultraviolet light destroys contaminants, which migrate to the humidity pan water during routine door openings. Discover contamination control among the PHCbi cell culture incubator line, and how user preference, protocol, and best practices are accommodated in product selection regardless of the preferred decontamination method in our application note.
