Each feature of this incubator has been designed to provide the most accurate conditions within the chamber, while still keeping functions simple and controllable for the user
The CO2 recovery levels within the Sanyo MCO-18AIC CO2 incubator are fast and thorough, even in situations where frequent door openings are required.
This is achieved through the use of both the Sanyo proportional, integrated, and differential (PID) control system, which maintains and rectifies conditions effectively within the incubator, and an infrared CO2 sensor, controlling the level of CO2 regardless of any temperature or humidity changes that may occur.
The effective combination of these two components results in a CO2 recovery time of just three minutes Contamination control is another outstanding area of the MCO-18AIC, one major aspect of this being the interior Incusafe lining.
Traditionally a copper lining can be used to control levels of contamination as it has germicidal properties that destroy any bacteria present.
However, using copper often results in high levels of corrosion on the incubator walls.
Sanyo has harnessed the decontamination properties of copper and combined them with the anti-corrosion properties of stainless steel to produce Incusafe, a reliable corrosion-free copper-alloy that keeps your chamber contamination free all day, every day, automatically.
For enhanced contamination control, the optional Sanyo Safecell UV system automatically removes airborne contaminants within the incubation chamber that may have been introduced when opening and closing the door of the incubator. Contamination control is further complimented via the standard Hepa filtration system.
The MCO-18AIC provides the ultimate in temperature performance and eliminates the need for the conventional water-jacketed system by using a direct heat air jacket (DHA) heating system that promotes temperature uniformity throughout the chamber.
