The MCO-80IC is ideal for culturing
large volumes of biological samples,
performing short-term studies, and
working with large volume cell culture
apparatus. It includes Panasonic’s
exclusive incubator technologies such as
inCu-saFe

Horizontal Laminar
Airow System

Panasonic’s reach-in incubator’s cross­shelf directed air ow system promotes
optimum temperature uniformity
throughout the chamber and contributes
to quick temperature recovery after door
openings. Utilizing Panasonic’s exclu­sive inCu-saFe
perforated side plenums helps minimize
contamination concerns and direct posi­tive and negative pressure air ow.

Humidied air minimizes potential for cell culture
media desiccation.

Perforated sidewall panels right (pressure) and left
(negative pressure) assure a positive, gentle airow
from right to left.

Optional UV Decontamination
and Humidity Selection

Panasonic’s patented Safe Cell UV
decontamination system is employed to
decontaminate the humidifying water
reservoir and help eliminate contamina­tion concerns. The unit can be set to both
nominal (above 80% RH) and high humid­ity setpoints (above 90% RH).

Humidity reservoir heaters are located
on the outside walls of the reservoir
and are not as susceptible to corrosion
and scaling from water as competitive
systems are. An optional autofill second­ary tank (Model MCO-80AS) system is
also available to ensure continuous
water supply to the humidity reservoir.

This system employs a large tank
(4.8 gal./18 L), with electronic water level
sensor and autofill solenoid valve.

Optional Shaker shelves with additional support
available in 2 or 3 shelf congurations.

Horizontal airow maintains accurate temperature
and CO2 control and uniformity at all shelf levels,
top-to-bottom, front-to-back.

Optional SafeCell UV decontamination system provides
decontamination of the humidity reservoir.
