Spotlight Ovens, Incubators & Sterilising Equipment New Low Cost Microscope Stage Incubator


Warner Instruments is pleased to introduce the New Okolab H501-EC CO2 Microscope Stage Incubator that is ideal for long term time-lapse imaging.


Highly versatile, use the H501-EC with a single 35mm Petri dish, a glass slide or chambered 57mm cover glass.


Operation is a simple, select your plate adapter and set the sample temperature. The HC01-EC will automatically adjust the humidity of the gas stream to minimise evaporative losses in the media. Additionally, easily regulate media pH levels with the built-in, manual CO2 controller. This new, low cost microscope incubator is ideal for both long-term experiments and applications requiring high magnification.

Laboratory Incubator Family for Automation Integration


INHECO offers a 4-model Incubator Family for automation integration, for MP or DWP disposables, with or without shaking. Precise temperature and shaker control, automated drawer control, plate loading sensors and several self test routines guarantee excellent incubation performance.


The incubators can be used in FDA / IVD compliant environments and applications. Software and verification tools (such as the IMP INHECO Measurement Plate) are available to form a complete thermal solution for all kinds of incubation applications.


Safety First with New Compact Shield for Stirrer Hotplates


Asynt’s Compact Lab Safety Shield fits neatly around any stirrer hotplate to provide robust, convenient protection from splashes, aerosols and spills. Ideal for use where fume hood space is at a premium, the Safety Shield offers additional protection for chemists in the event of a tube or cap failure under pressure, even if the fume hood sash is raised.


Manufactured from 5mm polycarbonate, the Safety Shield is resistant to a range of commonly-used laboratory solvents and is temperature-resistant to 170ºC. Designed with a small footprint to maximise fume hood space, the shield maintains access to hotplate controls and gives good all-round visibility of the reaction or process.


In addition to giving essential protection in applications such as heated parallel reactions in tubes, especially those operating under pressure, the device also shields reactions from the cooling effect of ventilation.


Manufactured in the UK, this is the only compact safety shield available for under £100, which fits Asynt, IKA and Heidolph stirrer hotplates.


Circle no. 354 Convenient Mini Cleanroom within the Laboratory


A compact and convenient, yet safe, nucleic acid-free environment is one of the main advantages offered by the uvCAB UV Sterilisation Cabinets available from Cleaver Scientific (CSL). Similar to having a ‘mini-cleanroom’ within your laboratory these cabinets provide a low-cost, easily accessible area for setting-up PCR (Polymerase Chain Reactions) whilst minimising the potential for PCR reaction contamination.


Features include powerful UV lights that serve to denature nucleic acids in 5 to 30 minutes making them unsuitable for amplication and contamination of PCR reactions. These lights are timer controlled and there are safety switches on the cabinet doors, which automatically turn-off the UV lights when opened to prevent user exposure to UV light. The CSL UV sterilisation cabinets also act as an effective shield against beta radioactive emissions and can therefore be safely used with isotopes, such as 32P. They also include a white light that ensures excellent visibility when working inside them.


They are available in two sizes, a Maxi version which provides a working space measuring 660 x 560 x 420mm (H x W x D) and ensures a good sized cabinet for setting-up and also storage of PCR reactions


along with the pipettes, racks and other equipment. For laboratories where space and budgets are limited, the Mini Cabinet is an ideal solution, measuring just 400 x 560 x 350mm (H x W x D) and contains two timer controlled UV bulbs.

Use this multiplexing, in-incubator, cell culture stimulator to keep your cells in shape by preventing de-differentiation or by encouraging pre-commitment.


The new C-Pace EP from Harvard Appartus is a multi-channel stimulator designed for the chronic stimulation of bulk quantities of cells in culture incubators. This pacer emits bipolar stimuli, greatly reducing electrolysis at the electrodes.


Specially Modified 200ºC Electric Lab Oven


No. 969 is an electrically-heated 200ºC (~392ºF) laboratory oven from Grieve, currently used for preheating 15lb moulds at the customer’s facility. Workspace dimensions of this oven measure 12”W x 10”D x 10”H. 800W are installed in Incoloy-sheathed tubular elements to heat the unit, while gravity convection provides the airflow to the load.


This specially modified Grieve lab oven features 1” insulated walls throughout, aluminised steel interior, stainless steel exterior with #4 brushed finish, heavy duty door latch, reinforced door hinge, shelf supports bolted through the oven walls to support the load at a double shelf height and an adjustable fresh air inlet damper at the oven bottom to control the amount of fresh air entering the chamber.


An added feature for accuracy, the temperature control shaft onboard No. 969 is recessed and slotted to avoid a set point change. Circle no. 356


It allows treatment of cells in their native environmental conditions; prevents de-differentiation of adult cardiomyocytes; encourages pre-commitment of Stem Cells toward certain muscle phenotypes; and it is ideal for cardiac tissue engineering.


In addition to standard pacing protocols, the EP has flexible pacing protocols for arrhythmia, exercise, and irregular pacing. Advanced TTL triggering allows switching to the next programmed pulse train. Functionality can be generalised using the Gate and Aux outputs.


The primary benefit of this system is that it allows the researcher to treat the cells in a manner consistent with their native environment. Like using proper maintenance media and incubation, chronic culture pacing will help induce and/or maintain phenotype over time, a key necessity for utilisation in cardiac tissue engineering.

New In-Incubator Cell Culture Stimulation


Unique vibration reduced shaking principles permit free programmable shaking curves (linear, circle, elliptic, eight, and any programmed patterns); Stacking of mixed, independently controlled units in one daisy-chain connected tower offers maximum flexibility.


The towers or single positions can be placed either on the deck of the liquid handling workstation, or next to such platforms, for direct pipetting without unloading the plate from the incubator drawer, and for easy access with robotic grippers. The deepwell incubators heat the plates from all sides and from top and bottom, even the doors are heated, not only to guarantee an excellent temperature uniformity, but also to achieve maximum heating rates and to avoid condensation. The units are plug- and-play high performance thermoelectric devices with USB interface and CE / UL certifications; The incubators have been integrated in all major liquid handling workstations.
