SANYO Design and Construction InCu saFe™ Interior Surfaces for Germicidal Protection The CytoGROW™ GLP incubators incorporate inCu saFe™ copper-enriched stainless steel alloy interior surfaces within a comprehensive design created to eliminate contamination sources and to mitigate the effect of airborne contaminants introduced through normal use. • Selected to provide natural germicidal protection without rust or corrosion, inCu saFe™ expresses a natural germicidal attribute to inhibit the growth of molds, fungi, mycoplasma and bacteria. • All interior components, including the air management plenum, shelf supports, humidity pan and blower wheel assembly remove easily for autoclaving; no tools required. • When components are removed, all interior surfaces are exposed for conventional wipe down. • Large rounded corners and electropolished surfaces are easy to clean. Effectiveness of inCu saFe™ - Mycoplasma Survival Results Mycoplasma Strain Negative Control Conventional Type 304 Stainless Steel SANYO InCu saFe™ Conventional Copper C1100 Mycoplasma fermentans PG18 no survival survival no survival no survival Mycoplasma orale CH19299 no survival survival no survival no survival Mycoplasma arginini G230 no survival survival no survival no survival Mycoplasma hominis PG21 no survival survival no survival no survival Chart summarizes test results with four strains of mycoplasma. Results demonstrate how SANYO inCu saFe™ copper-enriched stainless steel alloy offers germicidal properties of conventional C1100 copper, while maintaining both corrosion-proof and discoloration-resistant properties of conventional Type 304 stainless steel. Detailed test results are available from SANYO. Ergonomic Cabinet Design With a reversible outer door, a single SANYO incubator offers the industry's most flexible installation options available in either single or dual (stacked) cabinet configurations. • The low profile cabinet with doormounted control panel permits easy access and display viewing. • Cabinet knock-outs are predrilled and tapped to eliminate drilling and to simplify remounting of the field reversible door. • The outer door heater cable is easily switched if a reverse opening is required. MCO-36AC(UV) ErgoStack™ Low Profile Design The CytoGROW™ GLP cabinet is designed for stacking, allowing one unit to be positioned on top of another, doubling interior volume without additional floor space. • The low profile cabinet with door-mounted control panel permits easy access and display viewing. • The combination of stacking and reversible doors offers the industry's most flexible installation options. • 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. 11
