Overview
The PHCbi MCO-173AIC-PE CO₂ incubator is designed to optimize cell culture outcomes and reproducibility through precise CO₂ control. With a 165 L chamber, it is suited for research, clinical and commercial laboratories. Advanced contamination-control technologies, including an inCu-saFe copper-enriched stainless steel interior and optional H₂O₂ decontamination, support reliable and reproducible culture conditions.

Key Features

• Direct Heat and Air Jacket System for accurate, uniform and fast temperature control.
• Dual IR CO₂ sensor for rapid gas recovery without overshoot after door openings.
• inCu-saFe copper-enriched stainless steel interior providing continuous antimicrobial protection.
• 7-inch WVGA full-color LCD touch panel with USB data logging.
• Rounded interior corners and integrated shelf supports for easy cleaning.

Benefits

• Improved cell growth due to stable and reproducible chamber conditions.
• Lower contamination risk thanks to active antimicrobial interior material.
• Scalable 165 L capacity suitable for R&D, clinical and production workflows.
• Efficient operation enabled by fast recovery times and an intuitive user interface.
