CO₂ Incubator

The incubators used by Cytogration provide an extremely reliable and efficient method for high capacity storage and incubation of plates over an extended period of time. The unit has two access points: (1) a full-width, manually operated door for easy operator access, and (2) a narrow, electrically operated door controlled by the robotic system. The narrow door enables the robotic arm to access a plate while minimizing changes in the incubation environment.

The carousel holds 168 plates at a time The system controller automatically indexes the appropriate tower of the carousel to the robotic access door.

The incubator integrates with most systems by way of its RS-232 interface. The control panel, located on the upper front of the incubator, allows for easy access and monitoring of parameters. Stand and leveling pads are included.
