Summary
The Planer benchtop incubator is primarily designed to grow and maintain cell cultures, particularly for IVF, stem cell or applications where temperature uniformity is of paramount importance. The incubator will keep cells at an optimal temperature, humidity and gas content by maintaining a constant and clean environment for the embryo. The most common parameters for human work are 37°C, 5% CO2 in air and near 100% relative humidity.
Features and benefits
- Accurate temperature and humidified gas controlled environment in a small benchtop device.
- Each chamber tempeature can be set independently.
- Flexible – Accepts a wide selection of culture dishes.
- Secure – All critical operating parameters are password protected to prevent accidental or unauthorized modification.
- Simple & intuitive – Easy to use 2 line display with an 3 button user interface.
- Clear – Unambiguous status indicators visible from across the lab.
