Maintaining cell viability of gametes and embryos while outside
of main CO2 incubators is critical. The K-SYSTEMS® bench top
incubator, G85, optimizes culture conditions and avoid severe
fluctuations in temperature, pH and light conditions – as for
instance during ICSI.
The small size of the unit allows it to be placed near the actual
workplace for instance on the anti vibration table. Due to the
small size of each of the two chambers and a heated lid – the
correct gas levels are quickly re-established after opening, by using
the purge function. The G85 has an integrated digital gas flow
meter, electrical heating in the chamber lids, gas flushing, a purge
function and an humidifier.
The control panel is easy to use and the display is easy to read.
The design of the unit makes it practical with respect to cleaning.
By using the G85, stress to cells due to irregular temperature and
pH is avoided, while at the same time minimizing the number
of times one needs to open the main CO2 incubators, thereby
helping to maintain temperature and pH levels in these units.
