PHCbi MCO-173AICUVHX-PA Cell-IQ™ Series Active Humidification CO2 Incubator with UV-LED and H202 Decontamination | 5.83 cu. ft. (165 L)

Item#: MCO-173AICUVHX-PA

PHCbi MCO-173AICUVHX-PA Cell-IQ™ Series Active Humidification CO₂ Incubator is a 5.83 cu. ft. incubator designed for advanced cell culture applications requiring precise humidity control and comprehensive contamination protection. Its hybrid-active humidification system maintains humidity levels up to 95% RH, helping minimize edge effects and support organoids, low-volume samples, and high-throughput screening workflows. The chamber combines an inCu-saFe® copper-enriched stainless-steel interior, SafeCell UV-LED technology, and validated H₂O₂ decontamination to reduce contamination risks while ensuring rapid humidity recovery after door openings. A large 7-inch touchscreen and integrated LabSVIFT® connectivity provide advanced monitoring, alarm tracking, remote access, and FDA 21 CFR Part 11-compliant record management for enhanced operational control.

  • How the Hybrid‑Active Humidification System Works:
    • Active Humidification System: Heat‑based evaporation actively controls humidity to a stable 80–90% RH.
    • Dual-Mode Humidification System: Active + passive humidification achieves 95% ± 5% RH for in‑vivo‑like conditions.
  • Ultimate Sample Protection: Precision incubation depends on stable CO2, temperature, and humidity control. Routine door openings can disrupt humidity and introduce variability in cell culture conditions. This incubator integrates passive and active humidification systems to maintain tightly regulated humidity and minimize edge effect variability. It supports high throughput screening, low volume samples, and organoid culture. With SafeCell UV LED technology and an H2O2 decontamination system, it delivers faster humidity recovery while maintaining active decontamination performance compared to previous models.
  • InCuSafe Interior: Copper‑enriched stainless steel inhibits microbial growth on interior surfaces, supports a cleaner chamber environment.
  • SafeCell UV-LED: Ozone‑free UV‑LED irradiation reduces airborne contaminants without affecting cell viability.
  • H2O2 Decontamination: A validated hydrogen‑peroxide cycle sterilizes the chamber quickly between workflows.
  • Integrated Shelving: Integrated, molded shelf channels with curved corners allow for easy cleaning and help reduce sources of contamination.
  • Intelligent Interface: A modern interface designed for clarity and confidence. The MCO-173AICUVX-PA incubator makes monitoring and control simple with a clean design and intuitive tools.
  • Large 7-inch touchscreen: Sleek black panel, 44% larger for improved visibility and ease of use.
  • Door activity overlay: Temperature graph shows door openings, helping users quickly spot the cause of fluctuations.
  • Instant support: Built-in, easy-to-scan QR codes provide immediate access to alarm responses and manuals.
  • Guided self-service tools: Designed to enable quick troubleshooting with service support available when needed
  • Integrated Lab Monitoring with LabSVIFT®: LabSVIFT is a cloud-based service built to simplify equipment monitoring and performance tracking. It provides 24/7 monitoring*, real‑time alerts, and centralized records compliant with FDA 21 CFR Part 11**. The built‑in health check feature evaluates equipment performance and flags irregularities with recommended corrective actions. Whether you’re reviewing routine performance data or checking its status from your phone, LabSVIFT helps ensure your incubator is secure and operating at peak performance.
