PHCbi MCO-173AICUVX-PA Cell-IQ™ Series Active Humidification CO2 Incubator with UV-LED | 5.83 cu. ft. (165 L)
Item#: MCO-173AICUVX-PAPHCbi MCO-173AICUVX-PA Cell-IQ™ Series Active Humidification CO₂ Incubator is a 5.83 cu. ft. incubator designed to provide exceptional environmental control, contamination protection, and humidity stability for advanced cell culture applications. Its hybrid-active humidification system maintains humidity levels up to 95% RH, creating in vivo-like culture conditions while supporting optimal cell growth and viability. The chamber combines an inCu-saFe® copper-enriched stainless-steel interior with SafeCell UV-LED technology to help reduce contamination risks and maintain a cleaner culture environment. 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, making this incubator an ideal solution for research, biopharmaceutical, and clinical laboratories.

- 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.
-
- 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.
- 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.
