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 gas mixture (to control CO2 or hypoxia), 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 images to enlarge.
