Miniature Incubator for motorized stages

The miniature incubators can be used with chambered coverglasses, coverslip holders, petri dishes and glass bottom dishes, both 35 and 50mm. Incorporates luer-lock port for CO2 gas mixture, inside reservoir for water to control humidity, and heated cover, to prevent condensation. Built-in multiple ports for tubing and accessories (probes and sensors). Fits all brands of motorized stage. Includes a set of adjustable tubing holders to position perfusion tubing for continuous media exchange. Requires a temperature controller. Can be upgraded with an objective heater for immersion optics. Can be used for long-term imaging. See cell chemotaxis tracks obtained during 8 hours incubation. Click on image to enlarge.

PRICES AND OPTIONS

TC-MI

$465

Miniature Incubator for motorized stages

TC-MIL

$465

Miniature Incubator for motorized stages, low profile. The decreased height of this incubator allows using condensers for DIC and phase contrast optics: 21mm from top cover to the sample plane. Note: not recommended for use with perfusion and media exchange tubing holders inside the incubator.

TC-PA

$90

Petri Dish Adapters. Petri dish adapter -reducing rings- to use the controlled environment setup with different brand petri dishes. The adapters fit inside the heater and fit around the 35mm petri dish to eliminate air gaps and to prevent dish movement. At least five types of dishes from different manufacturers can be used. Note: some dishes have large diameter and might require custom modifications of the heater.

TC-PA50

$90

50mm reducing adapter-ring for 35mm dishes.
