PHCbi's CO₂ incubator/multi-gas incubator common functions

inCu-saFe_germicidal_interior Anti-bacterial Properties of 
Copper-enriched stainless steel

Helping organizations to meet their research objectives, PHCbi has developed a patented technology, the InCusaFe®. A copper-enriched stainless steel alloy interior surface, plenum and shelving that eliminates contamination sources and mitigates the effect of airborne contaminates introduced through normal use.

SafeCell_UV_Lamp SafeCell UV system
isolated from cell cultures

A programmable ultraviolet lamp, isolated from cell cultures, that decontaminates conditioned air and humidity reservoir water to prevent contamination without affecting cell cultures in vitro. Contaminants trapped within the humidifying pan at the base of the plenum are destroyed by high intensity, ozone-free ultraviolet light.

H2O2_Decontamination Sterilization can be finished in approx. 2 and a half hours *1 via Hydrogen Peroxide (H₂O₂) Sterilization

High speed sterilization systems utilizing hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), also used in latest regenerative medicine equipment, only takes approximately 135 minutes. Even taking account preparation time, the entire process takes approximately 2 and a half hours, aiding scientists in thoroughly sterilizing their equipment and reducing downtime at the same time.

Hydrogen Peroxide (H₂O₂) Sterilization Process

  • Step 1

    Preparation
    (15 min)

    ・Reinstalling internal components
    ・Cleaning the internal chamber
    ・Setting the sterilization location
    ・Preparing the H₂O₂ evaporator

  • Step 2

    Decontamination
    (135 min)

    Only required to operate control panel 2 times. Decontamination process is automated.

  • Step 3

    Tidying up
    (15 min)

    ・Ventilation
    ・Wiping down the internal walls
    ・Placing cells to be cultivated on shelves inside

  • Decontamination
    Approx. 2 and a half hours*1

※1:Overall work time measured by PHC. Work time may fluctuate depending on cleaning time.

Integrated_Tray_Catches Time tidying up is approximately 1/5 (compared with previous models)*2, from reducing approximately 80% of internal components.

Successfully reduced 80% of the internal components compared to previous models, by redesigning the internal chamber and integrating the tray catches.

Time tidying up is approximately 1/5 (compared with previous models)*2, from reducing approximately 80% of internal components.

Data log period is 1.5 months using 2-minute intervals.

Dry Heat Sterilization process for 11hours MCO-170AICUVD

Dual Heat Sterilization utilizes the incubator's two heaters during the 180℃ sterilization process. Because there is no effect on temperature inside stacked incubators due to low heat dissipation, cell culturing can continue uninterrupted. No need to remove inner parts or recalibrate after sterilization, therefore laboratory processes are more efficient with less incubator downtime.

850 Litres Large Sample Capacity MCO-80IC

Large-capacity reach-in design, ideal for mass culture

PHCbi’s incubator allows for large capacity for high-volume specimens. The large capacity accommodates not only high-volume tissue culture applications but also cell harvesting needs. Built for high capacity and high throughput, this heavy-duty incubator can meet your experiment needs.

Customer Testimonial | HUB (Hubrecht Organoid Technology)

“We simply need to have the right equipment. This certainly applies to the incubators, which are essential to our work. In addition to specific conditions regarding stability and notification (alarms), if an incubator experienced a failure or its temperature deviated slightly, it’s important for us to be able to find this information in the logged data. After all, these are valuable materials, often stemming from seriously ill patients. There’s no compromising in this regard.”
