Increasingly stringent regulation and the need for absolute sample security when working with human materials heightens the need for laboratory instrumentation that performs to the highest standards. Panasonic MCO-19 CO2 cell culture incubators deliver outstanding environmental reliability. Through the incorporation of the company’s patented Direct Heat and Air Jacket system, together with dual wavelength infrared CO2 control, incubator temperature and CO2 concentrations are constantly monitored and closely controlled. Additional O2 concentration control is also available as part of the range’s multigas incubators.

Panasonic’s patented Direct Heat and Air Jacket guarantees precise, uniform temperature control which safeguards the incubator and its contents from any fluctuations in ambient temperature. The dual wavelength infrared CO2 control system is exceptionally accurate, simultaneously measuring both sample and reference wavelengths to provide continuous auto-zero calibration. Panasonic’s highly effective SafeCell® UV contamination control is built in, together with InCu saFe®, a copper-enriched stainless steel alloy interior and decontamination system, so users can be confident that their samples are safely maintained in the optimum environment.

Importantly, on-going support from the dedicated team of Panasonic Service Specialists maximizes the potential and lifespan of all Panasonic instruments. Panasonic are committed to providing the best possible service to their customers, right from helping with purchase through to the maintenance of equipment.

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins.

Incubators are necessary equipment for cell culture and microbial research. Control temperature with heated or refrigerated incubators, or the levels of CO<sub>2</sub> and oxygen with CO<sub>2</sub> incubators. Using environmental chambers, create a humid climate for testing samples.

Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments.
