New Automated Incubator for Long Term Cell Assays Announced

摘要

BioTek instruments released the BioSpa~(TM) 8 Automated Incubator, a unique platform that links microplate washers and dispensers with readers and imaging systems for unattended workflow automation. Real time temperature and CO2/O2 control and monitoring, plus humidity level monitoring and plate lid handling provide an ideal environment for cell-based and other assays, with minimal manual intervention. BioSpa 8's robotic arm moves microplates, cell culture dishes and flasks, between its environment-controlled drawers and integrated instruments. The system is compact enough to fit within a biosafety enclosure for added protection essential to long term live cell assays, including 3D cell culture studies and other live cell assays. BioSpa 8 is also suited for temperature sensitive and controlled-environment biochemical assays.
