The new MCO-5M automatic air jacket multi-gas incubator provides precise CO2 and O2 level controls to realize a stable cell culture environment. It features multiple-patented technologies to safely achieve in-vitro performance. The compact design of the MCO-5M has a small footprint and allows 2 more units to be stacked, saving valuable space. The MCO-5M is ideally suited for one-donor/one-chamber use to incubate the cells of your patients, in-vitro fertilization, and for personal use in laboratories.

Preventive Contamination Control

InCu saFe® copper-enriched stainless steel chamber with coved corners continuously inhibits bacteria growth on its surface. Airborne and water contaminants in the water pan can also be eliminated by patented safeCell UV™, an automatic ozone-free ultraviolet lamp (option), without affecting cell cultures.

Ergonomic Design

Even in a triple-stack configuration, the units are space-saving and low-profile, allowing for the most efficient use of laboratory space. There is also user-friendly access to the door-mounted control display panel.

Field-reversible Door

The field reversible door can be set up for right-swing or left-swing door openings, allowing for multiple configurations during laboratory installation. A special door handle allows for easier door grab and opening in triple-stacked configurations.

Improved Temperature Stability with D.H.A. System

P.I.D. controlled 3-way heaters plus SANYO\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s proprietary D.H.A. (Direct Heat and Air jacket) provides a high-precision temperature environment, and minimizes the risk of condensation now and in the future. The SANYO D.H.A. System is patented with U.S. Patent Number 5519188.

Water Level Sensor

The humidity pan has an optical water level sensor to warn of low water level.

Automatic Gas Cylinder Switchover System

This system automatically switches from the primary to secondary gas cylinder when the O2 gas level does not change while an injection valve is open.

An optimal gas switchover for CO2 gas is also available. The in-use gas cylinder is confirmed on the control panel.

Benefits Summary

Active Background Contamination Control™

The SANYO MCO-5M(UV) is one of the first and only cell culture CO2 incubators in the world to employ SafeCell™ continuous active background ultraviolet light sterilization in combination with the passive resistance of inCusaFe™ copper-enriched stainless steel in chamber construction. This powerful combination destroys mycoplasma and other contaminants in vitro without affecting cell cultures and without downtime

Heat Decontamination Not Required

The MCO-5M(UV) inhibit the growth of mycoplasma, bacteria, molds, yeasts and fungi without costly HEPA air scrubbers which accumulate contaminants in the chamber, or disruptive, high temperature decontamination schemes which can actually encourage growth of heat resistant thermophilic and hyperthermophilic microorganisms in vitro.

High Performance In Vitro Modeling

Stable temperature, humidity and CO2 density are achieved through a combination of performance systems supervised by a centralized microprocessor controller complete with alarm, programming, calibration and diagnostic protocols exportable to remote databases through optional communications ports for compliance monitoring.

In Vitro Fertilization Applications

SANYO has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA Reference K013703) to market the SANYO Series CO2 incubators for in vitro fertilization applications.
