SureTherm CO2 Incubators
Cell cultures depend on optimized growth conditions in order to thrive. With precise temperature and CO2 control, Benchmark's SureTherm™ Incubators provide the perfect environment for your cultures. All SureTherm Incubators feature a proprietary heat distribution system that combines six sided heating with a low speed internal fan. Air is circulated uniformly throughout the chamber without air exchange from the external environment. This results in a controlled, protected environment with minimal temperature fluctuations (within 0.1°C).
IncuView™ LCI (Live Cell Imaging) Technology
These are the first and only incubators equipped with patent pending IncuView™ LCI (Live Cell Imaging) technology for viewing cells in "real time". An internal microscope and large, external display allow cells to be viewed without removal from the incubator, eliminating the inherent temperature fluctuations and risk of contamination. Cells are easily viewed on the large, integrated display or viewed locally or remotely with a wifi enabled phone, tablet or computer. Cell viewing requires optional IncuView Integrated Microscope Shelf (Item H3565-45-LCI or H3565-180-LCI). Remote viewing requires a computer with wifi and LAN connections.
