Description
The SANYO Sterisonic™ GxP incubator is designed for a wide array of demanding and highly regulated applications in the biomedical, pharmaceutical, medical research and clinical laboratory. Representing years of research, development and component testing, the Sterisonic™ GxP incorporates a collective of mutually functional systems and design attributes to offer a holistic solution to cell culture protocols, from the most sophisticated to more familiar and conventional processes.
Sterilization and Decontamination - The unique Sterisonic™ GxP H2O2 sterilization system limits downtime to less than three hours when total chamber sterilization with verification is desired.
- All interior components and CO2 sampling loop are sterilized in situ; no need for removal and autoclaving.
- Active Background Contamination Control™ fights contamination while cell culture protocols are in process.
- The patented SafeCell™ UV system scrubs interior airflow to destroy airborne and humidity pan contaminants.
- Exclusive InCu SaFe™ copper-enriched stainless steel interior surfaces assure constant germicidal protection
CO2 Control - SANYO proprietary single-beam, dual detector infrared (IR2) CO2 sensor delivers precise CO2 control, quick recovery following door openings, and auto sampling with no moving parts.
- Continuous zero calibration is standard.
Temperature and Humidity Control - The patented Direct Heat and Air™ conditioning system manages setpoint temperature through multiple, variable warming points under microprocessor control.
- The H2O2 sterilization process functions with the patented SANYO SafeCell™ UV system. Following a seven-minute H2O2 vaporization, circulation and dwell cycle, vaporization is stopped and the SafeCell™ UV lamp turned ON for up to ninety minutes.
- When exposed to UV light, the H2O2 vapor breaks down into water and oxygen, leaving only traces of water droplets. These droplets automatically condense onto a naturally cooler section of the interior floor for easy wipe-up.
- Throughout the entire cycle the Sterisonic™ GxP airflow system continues to gently circulate interior air assuring 100% vapor contact with all interior surfaces, ultimately creating a serial dilution of H2O2 as it passes over the UV lamp.
- Orientation of interior sample ports of the single beam, dual detector IR CO2 sensor creates a slight Venturi flow through the sample chamber, permitting total sterilization of the CO2 system at the same time.
- Once the cycle is complete, the door locking system is released; the inner door can be opened, interior components repositioned and the incubator is returned to service.
Sterisonic™ GxP Performance and Availability Delivers Best Value The documented two-hour in situ H2O2 sequence puts the fully sterilized Sterisonic™ GxP available and ready for use quicker than any other incubator worldwide.
Intelligent Interface through Integrated LCD Control with Graphical Display
The Sterisonic™ GxP incubator is managed by an integrated microprocessor controller with LCD graphical display 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, programming, calibration and diagnostic protocols.
- The Sterisonic™ GxP control and information center includes an intuitive pop-up menu, high resolution LCD for inputs, outputs and performance at-a-glance.
- An optional PC interface permits remote transmission for GMP/GLP protocols as required.
- Selected performance histories can be acquired in graphical format for easy interpretation.
- Precise PID logic controls and adjusts to all temperature and CO2 setpoints and alarm parameters.
