Product catalog summary
Sterilisation Methods Overview
Panasonic offers two sterilisation methods for IncuSafe Incubators to complement background decontamination: H2O2 Decontamination and Dual Heat Sterilisation. These methods ensure effective cleaning while allowing continuous cell culturing in stacked incubators.

H2O2 Decontamination
This method uses vaporised hydrogen peroxide and UV light to achieve a 6 log reduction of contaminants in less than three hours. The process involves:
  • Preparation: Remove and reposition interior components, set up the H2O2 generator.
  • Decontamination: The chamber warms to 45°C, H2O2 vapour is circulated, and UV light decomposes it to water and oxygen.
  • Completion: The outer door unlocks, and remaining liquid is wiped off.
Key features include no need to remove inner parts, electronic locking during the cycle, and a safe concentration of H2O2 vapour post-decomposition.

Dual Heat Sterilisation
This method uses two heaters to achieve 180°C sterilisation over 11 hours, with minimal heat dissipation allowing uninterrupted cell culturing. The process involves:
  • Preparation: Remove and reposition interior components, clean with alcohol.
  • Sterilisation: The chamber heats to over 180°C for 60 minutes, followed by cooling.
  • Completion: The outer door unlocks, and components are repositioned.
Key features include no need for recalibration post-sterilisation and compliance with safety standards for surface temperature.

IncuSafe CO2 & Multigas Incubators
Users can choose the sterilisation method that best suits their needs, ensuring efficient and safe laboratory processes.

User Safety
Both methods ensure user safety by electronically locking the outer door during the cycle. The MCO-170AICD model maintains a safe surface temperature during heat sterilisation, adhering to international safety standards.

The IncuSafe Advantage - Sterilisation to meet every need-1

In April 2018, our Biomedical Business Brand will change to PHCbi PanasonicThe IncuSafe AdvantageSterilisation to meet every need Feature Note Sterilisation to meet every need When additional sterilisation is required to complement background decontamination within the IncuSafe Incubators, Panasonic offers two sterilisation methods. For a fast turnaround, H2O2 decontamination safely cleans the chamber in less than three hours. Dual Heat Sterilisation (available in the MCO-170AICD Incubator) provides an 11-hour, 180°C sterilisation process. With extremely low heat dissipation during sterilisation, cell culturing can continue uninterrupted in stacked IncuSafe Incubators as the procedure is carried out. The unique H2O2 decontamination system delivers fast and validatable decontamination. The high-speed decontamination system uses vaporised hydrogen peroxide and UV light. It cleans the chamber of the incubator safely in less than three hours, achieving a minimal 6 log reduction of major contaminants. The outer door is locked automatically upon initiation of the decontamination cycle and unlocked upon completion. Dual Heat Sterilisation Dual heat sterilisation utilises the incubator's two heaters during the 180°C sterilisation process, which takes 11 hours. There is no effect on temperature inside stacked incubators due to low heat dissipation, so cell culturing can continue uninterrupted. There is no need to remove inner parts or recalibrate after sterilisation, therefore laboratory processes are more efficient with less incubator downtime. The outer door is locked automatically upon initiation of the decontamination cycle and unlocked upon completion. • Vaporised hydrogen peroxide • No need to remove inner parts • Incubator electronically locked during decontamination cycle • No need to remove inner parts • Incubator electronically locked during decontamination cycle

The IncuSafe Advantage - Sterilisation to meet every need-2

Sterilisation to meet every need User Safety During the decontamination cycle the outer door is electronically locked. After UV decomposition, H2O2 vapour concentration inside the chamber is less than 0.1ppm. 1. Hydrogen peroxide (aqueous) is converted to vapour using high frequency ultrasonics. During this process, the fan motor remains active, ensuring H2O2 vapour accesses every point of the chamber and the tubing to and from, and the inside of the CO2 sensor. 4. his unstable internal environment leads to T death of contaminants. Remaining hydroxyl radicals and H2O2 are decomposed to H2O (aqueous)...
