In April 2018, our Biomedical Business Brand will change to PHCbi IncuSafe Multigas Incubators Facilitating enhancements in IVF CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL - KAROLINSKA INSTITUTE IncuSafe Multigas Incubators Although occasionally taken for granted, a tightly controlled, reliable incubation system can be one of the most valuable pieces of equipment in a laboratory. The ability to culture a healthy cell line can make the difference between a successful and failed investigation, and influence the results of research projects. One prime example of this is the IVF research taking place at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, where IncuSafe Incubators are being used for cell cultivation. The Karolinska Institute With assisted reproduction now increasingly widespread and scientific technology constantly evolving, it is no surprise that the improvement of IVF is a topic for continuing investigation. It has been estimated that today there has been more than 5 million IVF births worldwide.1 The continuing development of easier methods has increased interest andintroduced opportunities to make IVF more affordable, successful and available to the wider population. Some of this research is being undertaken at the Karolinska Institute, the biggest medical university in Sweden. The prestigious Institute has a large stem cell programme containing many groups, one of which is led by Professor Outi Hovatta and dedicated to making IVF available to women for whom it may not have been an option. To achieve this, the team is investigating the maturation of human ovarian follicles and oocytes from cryostored human 5 million babies born through IVF in past 35 years, researchers say.

MCO-5M-PE IncuSafe Multigas Incubators ovarian tissue. When there are risks to implanting tissue directly back into the ovary of a woman who has lost her eggs, perhaps due to chemotherapy or genetic causes, this could provide a viable alternative. To support the effective development of this innovative and ground-breaking technique, the Karolinska Institute has opted for a high quality, stringently controlled incubation system. Culturing oocytes from primordial follicles to full maturity is a long and delicate process that can be severely affected by the cell's environment. Therefore...

MCO-5M-PE IncuSafe Multigas Incubators the oocytes receive with ultimate levels of security. The inclusion of multiple decontamination systems further guarantees in vitro performance by including inCu-saFe and SafeCell UV integrated contamination control technology. This powerful combination protects against both airborne and waterborne contaminants, and prevents the growth of moulds, fungi and bacteria with constant germicidal protection. In this innovative application, where cells are typically one-of-a-kind, this provides additional peace of mind to the team at the Karolinska Institute....

MCO-5M-PE IncuSafe Multigas Incubators SafeCell UV System The Active Background Decontamination in the IncuSafe Incubators combines narrow bandwidth, ozone-free ultraviolet light and inCu-saFe copper-enriched stainless steel alloy interior to fight contamination whilst the incubator remains in use. The IncuSafe Multigas Incubators are ideal for critical applications where continuous contamination control is essential to cell viability. The incubator offers significant economic benefits by minimising interruptions for decontamination, by improving cell culture growth and expression...
