Product catalog summary
Overview: The document describes the features and specifications of the PHCbi CO2 Incubator, model MCO-173AICUVHX-PE, designed for maintaining optimal humidity and temperature for reliable cultures. It highlights the incubator's advanced humidification and decontamination systems, ensuring environmental stability and culture integrity.
Specifications: The incubator has external dimensions of 700 x 730 x 905 mm and an internal volume of 165 liters. It operates within a temperature range of ambient plus 5°C to a maximum of 50°C, with a temperature uniformity of ±0.25°C. The CO2 control range is 0 to 20% with a fluctuation of ±0.15%. Humidity is maintained at 95% ± 5% RH.
Key Features:
  • Active Humidification System: Combines natural evaporation with a heating-assisted method for rapid humidity recovery, reducing culture medium drying risk.
  • Ethanol Disinfection Function: Semi-automatic sequence for steam spray unit and supply tube, enhancing hygiene and reducing maintenance.
  • Contamination Prevention: Features inCu-saFe copper-enriched stainless steel, SafeCell UV-LED lamp, and rapid H2O2 decontamination achieving ≥6-log contaminant reduction.
  • Smart Hybrid Humidification Control: Offers flexible modes with a 7-inch color LCD touch panel for intuitive operation and data export via USB.
Construction and Design: The incubator is constructed with a painted steel exterior and a stainless steel copper-enriched alloy interior. It includes a direct heat and air jacket system for temperature control and a dual IR CO2 sensor for fast recovery.
Decontamination and Safety: Utilizes vaporized hydrogen peroxide and UV light for rapid decontamination. The 'dew stick' manages condensation, preventing contamination.
Options and Accessories: Includes trays, CO2 gas automatic switch, gas pressure regulator, H2O2 generator, and various communication interface boards.
Compliance and Availability: Available as a Class IIa MDR Medical Device in several European countries and as laboratory equipment in EEA countries, Switzerland, the UK, and Turkey.

By combining natural evaporation with a unique heatingassisted method, the system accelerates humidity recovery after door openings. This reduces the risk of culture medium drying out, ensuring greater environmental stability and protecting the integrity of your cultures. MCO-173AICUVHX-PE Smart Hybrid Humidification Control The system combines heated evaporation, sensor regulated steam generation, and natural evaporation from the humidifying tray to deliver precise, stable humidity. This active–passive approach minimizes edge effect variability and supports demanding applications such as high throughput screening, low volume cultures, and organoid development. Humidifying water supply tube Humidity sensor Humidification unit Flexible Humidification Modes Improved Visibility, Humidity Log Data and Operability • Active Humidity Mode Operates only the Active Humidity Control System with no water in the humidification tray. It maintains ~80% humidity, adjustable to 90%, and achieves ±1% RH accuracy between 80–90%.This mode reduces condensation risk when measurement or analytical instruments are installed inside the chamber. • High-Humidity Mode Combines the Active Humidity Control System with natural evaporation from the humidifying tray for stable conditions above 90% RH. A new 7 inch color LCD touch panel provides intuitive operation with clear icons and improved visibility. Humidity log data and other parameters can be exported via USB, while the interface centralizes notifications, troubleshooting, data logging, and access to the instruction manual, enhancing overall operability. Active Humidification Mode High Humidification Mode Humidification tank Humidifying tray Rapid Humidity Recovery Ethanol Disinfection Function Contamination prevention and intervention When humidity drops, water is heated to 140°C, vaporized, and released into the chamber for rapid recovery to the set humidity between 80 and 90%. Recovery is about 50% faster than previous models*¹, reducing environmental fluctuations and preventing culture media from drying. The Active Humidification System incorporates a semi automatic ethanol disinfection sequence for both the steam spray unit and the supply tube. This integrated sanitation function enhances operational hygiene, supports reliable long term performance, and reduces maintenance requirements and associated running costs. • inCu-saFe Interior - Copper-enriched stainless steel combines durability with germicidal protection. • SafeCell UV-LED lamp – Decontaminates air and water without harming cell cultures. • Rapid H₂O₂ Decontamination – Vaporized hydrogen peroxide and UV-LED lamp clean the chamber in under 3 hours, achieving
