CO2 and Multigas Incubators for Precise Cell Culture Reproducibility
Cell-IQ™ and CytoGrow Incubators
The complete PHCbi CO2 and multigas (CO2/O2) incubator family includes two product lines designed for precision, uniformity and repeatability of conditions that replicate the in vivo environment in an in vitro setting.
Cell-IQ incubators use high-performance dual wavelength infrared (IR) detectors to measure CO2 concentration, CytoGrow incubators use either a thermal conductivity sensor or a single IR sensor, depending on model.
Biomedical Incubator Equipment for Cell Culture Needs
CO2 and multigas incubators from PHC include benchtop, stackable and reach-in models in a variety of sizes to meet a wide range of culture conditions, space needs and decontamination methods. Our incubators are ideal for a variety of applications, including:
- Medical
- Pharmaceutical
- Biotech
- Government research
- Clinical
- cGMP
- IVF processes (select models only)
Cell Culture Equipment that Guards Against Contamination
Standard Contamination Control
PHCbi cell culture incubators include both standard passive contamination control and a variety of active control methods. Passive decontamination is achieved as a background process in all incubator models through innovative inCu-saFe® interiors. PHCbi's inCu-saFe design feature is a copper-enriched stainless steel alloy that combines the germicidal properties of elemental copper with the corrosion and discoloration resistance of stainless steel.
Optional Contamination Control
Available as a standard feature on select Cell-IQ and CytoGrow models, the active SafeCell™ UV lamp decontaminates chamber air and surfaces without compromising cultured cell viability. Additional active contamination control methods include a dry heat decontamination cycle on the new Cell-IQ Series Dry Heat Incubator or the vaporized hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) cycle, available on select Cell-IQ models.
