Product news

The SANYO-19AIC CO2 Incubator has been specifically designed for highly demanding cell culture and regulated applications.

The MCO-19AIC SANYO CO2 Incubator includes the benefits of an Air Jacketed heating system and a new Dual Detector Infra Red CO2 Sensor which constantly recalibrates and auto-zeroes the CO2 concentration within the Incubator without suffering the affects of temperature and humidity changes when the incubator is accessed. The new Infra Red CO2 Sensor enables rapid CO2 recovery rates of within 3 minutes when set at 5%.

For more demanding protocols, the MCO-19AIC can have an optional Hydrogen Peroxide Decontamination System fitted. This type of decontamination system is extremely effective and extremely fast since a complete cycle only takes 130 minutes rather than several hours, or overnight, like some heat decontamination systems require. The Hydrogen Peroxide Decontamination System is also safe to use since the H2O2 vapor is contained within the incubator and is broken down at the end of the cycle to water and oxygen. The Door Interlock also adds to the safety of this system.

Sample protection is provided by:

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.

The optional 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. Samples are further protected by the inbuilt alarm systems.

A large high resolution LCD display features intuitive pop-up menus to make entering set points easy, together with multi-point data logging and a graphical display of the incubation conditions. An optional PC interface permits remote transmission of data from the incubator.

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins.

Incubators are necessary equipment for cell culture and microbial research. Control temperature with heated or refrigerated incubators, or the levels of CO<sub>2</sub> and oxygen with CO<sub>2</sub> incubators. Using environmental chambers, create a humid climate for testing samples.

Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments.
