Alphavita CO2 Incubator

Model: MCO-170I

Alphavita CO2 incubators provide an optimal cell culture environment thanks to an intelligent system equipped with IR sensors, precise CO2, temperature and humidity control, and an ozone-free UV lamp for effective sterilization.

Their 7-inch touchscreen, usable with gloves, enables intuitive navigation, complemented by a USB interface for data export.

Centralized air circulation ensures perfect uniformity inside the chamber.

KEY FEATURES

Precise control of temperature and CO2

Intelligent system

Ozone-free UV lamp

Dual infrared (IR) sensor

Incubator details

  • Main heating unit
    Ensures precise temperature control, with guaranteed accuracy of 37 ± 0.1 °C inside the chamber

  • Outer door heating unit
    Temperature quickly returns after opening.
    It prevents condensation on the inner glass and reduces the risk of microbial contamination.

  • Lower heating unit
    Regulates humidity in the tank by heating the humidification disc.

Precise control

  • Dual IR sensor, insensitive to temperature and humidity variations, ensuring more accurate control of CO2 and O₂ concentrations
  • Six-sided heated environment with three independent heating units controlled by PID for optimal thermal stability
  • Chamber temperature accuracy: 37 ± 0.25 °C

User-centric design

  • Door can open in both directions
  • Stackable design (2 levels) to save space
  • Adjustable feet for stable placement even on uneven floors

User-centric design

  • Bilateral door opening, adaptable to different setups
  • Stackable structure (2 levels) to save space
  • Remote monitoring possible (485 interface reserved)
  • Height-adjustable feet for perfect leveling
  • Access port for real-time monitoring of internal conditions
  • Automatic shutdown of the fan and CO2 valve when the door is opened, to prevent contamination and ensure stable cell culture conditions

Intelligent management

  • 7-inch touchscreen: real-time display of parameters and curves for intuitive monitoring
  • Three levels of user permissions with built-in data tracking
  • Custom culture program controlled by an industrial PLC: up to 4 sets of 9 parameters to meet specific cell culture needs
  • Standard USB interface for data storage and export
  • Resistive screen usable with gloves
  • Inner chamber with rounded stainless-steel corners, anti-corrosion and easy to clean
  • Access port and gas analysis port to monitor conditions in real time

Sterilization

  • Standard UV lamp irradiating the water tray and air duct to eliminate mold and germs
  • Unique duct design for smooth, uniform air circulation
  • HEPA filters on the CO2, O₂ and N₂ inlet valves to effectively filter bacteria and particles
  • Fan and air valve stop automatically when the door is opened to prevent contamination
  • Delayed sterilization function ensuring maximum protection of cell cultures against contaminating agents
