PHCbi's Cell-IQ™ CO2 Incubator With Hydrogen Peroxide Decontamination
PHCbi brand’s 8.1 cu.ft (230 L) Cell-IQ series CO₂ incubator features a patented Direct Heat and Air Jacket system, dual IR sensor, SafeCell™ UV, and inCu-saFe® interior to helps ensure precise temperature, CO₂ levels, and contamination control. A high-speed H₂O₂ vapor decontamination cycle completes in under three hours, supporting rapid turnaround in high-throughput labs. This stackable, medium-capacity unit is ideal for scaling up cell culture workflows and integrating with lab automation systems.
Cell Culture Incubators Capabilities
As a crucial piece of laboratory equipment, PHCbi brand cell culture incubators are designed to ensure highly accurate, reproducible chamber conditions. Our cell culture incubators provide a contamination-free environment while allowing precise CO2 control - essential for in vivo environment replication.
Uniform Consistent Environment
The patented Direct Heat and Air Jacket system, Dual Infrared (IR) sensor, SafeCell™ UV and inCu-saFe® work together to ensure precise temperature, CO2 levels and contamination control respectively for a precise and repeatable environment.
Rapid CO2 Recovery with Dual IR Sensor
A Dual IR CO2 sensor provides superior CO2 control with fast recovery without overshoot even following multiple door openings as well as being unaffected by chamber humidity levels compared to less accurate TC sensors (see our document on CO2 sensors below in the Technical & Educational Resources section).
Time Saving Decontamination
A high speed decontamination system uses hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) vapor to clean the incubator chamber in under three hours. This system safely and efficiently decontaminates with a 100% kill rate1 with at least a six log reduction of major contaminants.
Contamination Control with SafeCell UV and InCu-saFe
The PHCbi inCu-saFe combines the germicidal properties of elemental copper with the corrosion and discoloration resistance of stainless steel to deliver passive contamination control throughout the chamber interior of integrated shelves and rounded corners. The SafeCell UV lamp provides safe, active and passive contamination control of circulated air and the humidity water reservoir. SafeCell scrubs and decontaminates circulated chamber air without affecting cell cultures.2
Color LCD Display
The high contrast color LCD display allows for easy, touchscreen programming of temperature, CO2and other internal conditions of your incubator even with gloved hands.
USB Log Function for Data Transfer and Storage
A standard USB port simplifies the storage or transfer of logged data such as setpoints, parameters, and decontamination cycles.
