SANYO
introduce the MCO-19AIC CO2 Incubator - the first CO2 Incubator with
multi-level contamination control and a Hydrogen Peroxide
Decontamination System

The SANYO-19AIC CO2 Incubator has been
specifically designed for highly demanding cell culture and regulated
applications.
|
|
Two
major criteria are the focus of the MCO-19AIC's design. These design
criteria provide systems for optimum cell growth and systems for
the ultimate in sample protection. The
air-jacket design provides an even distribution of temperature
throughout the incubation chamber to ensure cultures on all shelves are
incubated under the same temperature conditions. In addition to this, the
air-jacket eliminates the possibility of cold spots on the incubator
walls thereby removing the possibility of condensation and associated
contamination areas. The recovery of temperature after accessing samples
is also very rapid, to ensure minimal stress to the cultures inside the
CO2 Incubator.

The CO2 sensor and control system is an entirely new design. The
infra-red sensor is not affected by changes in humidity and more
importantly is not affected by changes in temperature, upon temperature
loss after accessing samples. The sensor is unique for this type of CO2
incubator since it contains two receptors, one to measure the CO2
concentration in the Incubator and another to measure the back ground
CO2 level. This results in the sensor being able to constantly
recalibrate and auto-zero every second of the day - all day every day -
and so provides one of the most accurate control systems available to
ensure your cells are grown under optimum CO2 conditions. The sensor is
also PID controlled for fast recovery (3 minutes or less) and operates
without wasting gas through excessive overshoot of the set CO2
level.

Sample
protection is provided to cover all aspects of the incubator's use. The
interior is constructed from the unique InCuSafe copper enriched
stainless steel alloy which is effective in the decontamination of
Bacteria, Fungi, and Mycoplasma - all- day- every day without having to
run decontamination cycles. A SafeCell UV system is an available
option that decontaminates any airborne contaminants all- day-
every- day without having to run decontamination cycles. The UV system is
non-ozone producing and is non-harmful to your cell cultures.
