CO2 incubator MCO-173AICUV-PE

laboratoryfor cell culturesforced convection

Overview
The MCO-173AICUV-PE CO₂ incubator is engineered to deliver stable, reproducible cell culture conditions with precise CO₂ control. The 165 litre chamber and integrated contamination-control features make it suited for research, clinical and production laboratories.

Precise & regulated environment
The Direct Heat & Air Jacket System provides accurate, uniform and responsive temperature control. A Dual IR CO₂ sensor enables rapid gas recovery without overshoot after door openings, maintaining conditions for sensitive cultures.

Continuous contamination prevention
The inCu-saFe copper-enriched stainless steel interior supplies passive antimicrobial protection. The integrated SafeCell UV-LED continuously decontaminates circulating air and the humidifying pan water, reducing background contamination risk without affecting cultures.

Efficient workflows
Designed for busy laboratories, the incubator offers fast recovery times and stable conditions to minimize downtime and support uninterrupted experiments.

Key benefits

• Stable chamber conditions for reliable, reproducible cell growth.
• Continuous contamination control with SafeCell UV-LED and inCu-saFe interior.
• 165 L capacity suitable from R&D to clinical and production use.

Easy to use & data ready
A 7-inch colour LCD touch panel enables intuitive operation even with gloves. USB data logging and transfer simplify monitoring and documentation. Rounded interior corners and integrated shelf supports facilitate cleaning.
