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).
These are the first and only incubators equipped with the (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 BEN-H3565-45-LCI or BEN-H3565-180-LCI.)
Internal microscope
SureTherm CO₂ incubators offer an optional, integrated microscope for viewing cells in their CO₂ environment. Less frequent removal of cells reduces the risk of sample contamination and cell damage.
The IncuView LCI (Live Cell Imaging) system includes an internal microscope that wirelessly connects to the external monitor and allows for real-time monitoring of cells, visualization of samples, and capturing time-lapse images.
The six-sided, direct heating design provides the highest level of temperature uniformity (±0.4°C). In addition, the heated door and door frame prevent the formation of condensation on the inner glass door.
