Thermo Scientific Cytomat 10C Automated CO2 Incubator with Integrated Linear Plate Transfer Station

The Thermo Scientific Cytomat 10C Automated Incubator Unit 4 is an advanced laboratory incubator engineered for automated workflows requiring stable and controlled environmental conditions. Widely used in biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and cell biology research, it supports applications such as mammalian and microbial cell incubation, high-throughput screening (HTS), and cell-based assays.

Key Technical Features:

• Temperature control range: ambient +10°C to 50°C with high precision and stability validated by NIST-traceable probes.
• Relative humidity: controlled up to <95% to ensure cell culture viability during incubation.
• CO2 control range: 0% to 20% for optimized cell growth conditions, essential in cell metabolism studies and bioprocessing.
• Sample capacity: 10-position carousel with 10 stacks (hotel positions), accommodating:
• Up to 168 microplates with P23 stackers (96- or 384-well)
• Up to 16 deepwell plates (96- or 384-well) with P60 stackers (max 45 mm plate height)
• Handling system: Automated carousel with integrated 400 mm linear transfer station featuring plate detection sensors for seamless plate loading/unloading.
• Incubation chamber: Copper-lined interior and double-door system enhance contamination control and durability, critical for cell imaging and live-cell assays.
• User interface: Touchscreen operation enabling precise adjustments of temperature, humidity, and CO2 parameters and enabling workflow customization with selectable transfer speeds (slow, medium, fast).
• Power requirements: 2x 1N/PE 230 VAC, 6.3A, 1.45 kW. Optional voltage transformer available for different power standards.
