SANYO Biomedical Launches High Capacity Reach-In CO2 Incubator

Published December 2007

BENSENVILLE, ILL. -

After years of research, development and laboratory testing, SANYO has introduced the MCO-80IC Reach-In CO2 Incubator. It is both easy to use and designed specifically for critical applications in pharmaceutical, biotechnology and clinical investigation. Safe for even the most demanding of cell culture protocols, the SANYO MCO-80IC offers significant economic benefits by avoiding costly interruptions for decontamination, improving cell culture growth and expression under stable, repeatable conditions, and minimizing the potential for loss due to contamination. The MCO-80IC is ideal for culturing large volumes of patient samples, performing short-term studies, and working with large volume products. The MCO-80IC includes SANYO exclusive incubator technologies such as inCu saFe germicidal stainless steel interiors, optional UV decontamination system, an infra red (IR) CO2 sensor with P.I.D. control for quick recovery and exceptionally low gas consumption, as compared to competitive models. Features include:

• Improved usability.  Boasting a 30.1 cubic foot capacity, the large cabinet allows for flexibility in usage. The cabinet can accommodate a roller bottle apparatus up to 5 bottles wide by 7 bottles high. Full view, double paned glass doors allow for easy observation of cultured samples. The large LED digital display and key pad allow for greater visibility and consistent sample monitoring.
• Superior CO2 and Temperature Control. The MCO-80IC produces exceptionally low CO2 consumption rates, less than half of similar competitive units. This is due to the unique infrared CO2 sensor with P.I.D. microprocessor that controls and forces an air circulation system to deliver fast CO2 recovery. The P.I.D. temperature control only has a fluctuation of +/- 0.1 degree Celsius.
• Anti-Contamination Measures. The interior, plenums and shelving are constructed of inCu saFe, germicidal copper-enriched stainless steel. There is an optional UV sterilization system for the humidity reservoir. Extra heaters are positioned on the outer glass door to eliminate condensation, which is found frequently in competitive units.
