[. . . ] Additionally, the standard CytoGROWTM GLP cabinet can be enhanced with a selection of options and accessories to meet specific end user needs, offering the industry's most flexible investment option for current and future incubator needs. MCO-18AC Ideal for Research and Clinical Microbiology · Biotech Research and Production · Hospitals and Clinics · Public Health · Medical Research · Quality Control 2 CytoGROWTM GLP Series Cell Culture CO2 Incubator www. sanyobiomedical. com Incubator Features and Benefits The SANYO CytoGROWTM GLP series is a full-featured CO2 incubator designed to establish and maintain a critical temperature, CO2 and elevated humidity environment essential to mammalian cell culture and related scientific investigation. Digital LED display 6 4 3 Visual alarm indicator Positive feedback tactile entry and function keys 5 Integrated Microprocessor Control The CytoGROWTM GLP incubator is managed by an integrated microprocessor controller to simplify all incubator functions. Stable temperature and humidity conditions are achieved through a combination of performance systems supervised by the controller complete with alarm, calibration and diagnostic protocols. · All incubator functions are managed by a fully integrated microprocessor controller which acquires and processes information from data entry, setpoints and alarm parameters. · A range of setpoint, alarm and programmable inputs are established through the use of function keys. [. . . ] · An optional roller base is recommended for stacked installations to permit mobility if required; see Accessories. · The outer door closes against a soft, easily cleaned magnetic gasket designed to eliminate ambient air shear across the glass inner door, minimizing condensation. · The outer door includes a universal finger grip at each side. · A door ajar alarm provides an audible and visual warning if the outer door is left open. · Pass-through ports accommodate probes or instrumentation leads as required for specialized cell culture protocols. Each chamber includes a port positioned in the interior, upper-left rear wall, with dual silicone (non-VOC) stoppers inside and outside the cabinet for added protection. 5 SANYO Contamination Control Integral Contamination Resistance CytoGROWTM GLP is designed to accommodate a variety of microbiological and cell culture protocols used in various laboratories. Because Active Background Contamination ControlTM fights contamination while work is in process, risk of loss due to contaminated work is minimized. · Exclusive SANYO inCu saFeTMcopperenriched stainless steel interior surfaces provide constant germicidal protection against cross contamination among specimens or contaminants introduced during routine door openings. · Wide radius, sealed rounded interior corners and 100% removable interior components simplify cleaning and assure thorough manual decontamination when required. · An optional, patented SafeCellTM UV system scrubs interior airflow and humidity pan water to destroy airborne contaminants. Active Background Contamination ControlTM The CytoGROW GLP series can be ordered with the optional SafeCellTM UV contamination control system which offers significant benefits by minimizing interruptions for decontamination, by improving cell culture growth and TM expression under stable, repeatable conditions, and by minimizing the potential for product loss. · SafeCellTM UV includes a programmable ultraviolet lamp, isolated from cell cultures, that sterilizes conditioned Start Incubation SafeCellTM UV ON: 5 min. after door opening Scrubs interior airflow to destroy airborne and humidity pan contaminants. after door opening Scrubs interior airflow to destroy airborne and humidity pan contaminants. SafeCellTM UV Active Background Contamination Control (5 min. · The SafeCellTM UV system can be factory- or field-installed. · High temperature decontamination systems, which can actually encourage in vitro growth of heat resistant thermophilic and hyperthermophilic microorganisms, are avoided. Continuous Active Background Contamination ControlTM process eliminates contamination without downtime. SafeCellTM is based on an integrated combination of narrow bandwidth, ozone-free ultraviolet light, inCu saFeTM copper-enriched stainless steel alloy interiors and Direct Heat and Air JacketTM heating managed by the microprocessor controller.

Incubator must cool from high heat temperatures to near ambient. 7 SANYO Contamination Control Comparative testing commissioned by SANYO and performed by a certified independent testing laboratory confirms that the SANYO UV light decontamination process "is as effective against bacteria, yeasts and molds as high heat sterilization at sustained temperatures" ranging from +90°C to +140°C offered in other incubators on the market. Additionally, the SANYO incubator isolates the UV light emission from cell cultures during normal operation to permit decontamination of the internal atmosphere following routine door openings without damaging cell cultures, a process which the heat sterilization technique cannot replicate.
