MCO-173AICUV-PA Features

Ultimate Sample Protection

Precision incubation requires both the proper balance of CO2 and temperature inside the incubator. This incubator combines active and passive contamination controls including UV-LED, a proprietary antimicrobial copper-stainless steel alloy (inCu-saFe) interior, and integrated shelving with rounded corners to support critical applications. This next-generation incubator goes beyond traditional incubation by enhancing both data capture and troubleshooting capabilities. Its advanced onboard display and user interface do more than log basic readings — they track alarms and their resolution, overlay multiple data parameters simultaneously, and monitor the duration of incubator activities for deeper operational insight.
 
 
 
Minimize Contamination with Cell-IQ Features
A multi‑layered contamination‑control system protects your cultures from environmental and biological risks.
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.
Integrated Shelving
Integrated, molded shelf channels with curved corners allow for easy cleaning and help reduce sources of contamination.
