CO2 laboratory incubator MCO-173AICUV-PE

carbon dioxideinfraredfor scientific research

Product overview
The PHCbi MCO-173AICUV-PE CO₂ incubator is engineered for stable, reproducible cell culture conditions. With a 165 L chamber and advanced contamination-control features, it is suitable for research, clinical and commercial laboratories that require precise CO₂ and temperature management.

Contamination control & interior
Interior surfaces use inCu-saFe copper-enriched stainless steel for continuous antimicrobial action. The integrated SafeCell UV-LED decontamination lamp treats circulating air and the humidifying pan water during operation to reduce contamination risk without compromising cultures.

Temperature & CO₂ control
Direct Heat & Air Jacket System ensures fast, uniform and responsive temperature control. Dual IR CO₂ sensing provides rapid gas recovery with minimal overshoot after door openings, maintaining stable gas conditions for sensitive cultures.

Usability & data
A 7-inch colour LCD touch panel (glove-friendly) supports intuitive operation. Data logging and USB transfer enable straightforward monitoring and documentation. Interior rounded corners and integrated shelf supports simplify cleaning and routine use.

Key benefits

• Stable culture environment: accurate temperature and CO₂ control for reproducible results.
• Continuous contamination reduction: inCu-saFe interior plus SafeCell UV-LED.
• Appropriate capacity: 165 L chamber for R&D, clinical and small-scale production.
• Operational efficiency: rapid recovery after door openings and convenient data export.
