ibidi Heating System 4 Slides – Silver Line

A heating system for high-throughput live cell imaging with stable and homogenous temperature during high resolution microscopy

Applications

The ibidi Heating System is ideal for live cell imaging experiments that require physiologic conditions on the microscope.

Combined with the ibidi Gas Incubation System, it serves as a complete Stage Top Incubator, precisely controlling essential parameters such as temperature, humidity, and CO₂/O₂ levels on the microscope to get reproducible results of, for example:

• Chemotaxis assays
• Angiogenesis assays
• Cell migration assays
• Wound healing assays
• Proliferation assays
• Cell culture under flow assays
• Hypoxia experiments

The ibidi Heating System is optimized for high-resolution imaging applications that require extra focus stability, for example:

• TIRF
• Fluorescence microscopy
• Confocal microscopy
• DIC microscopy
• Oil immersion microscopy

Technical Features

• Easy installation on inverted microscopes that have a holder for multiwell plates
• Highest focus stability during microscopy due to heat regulation by continuous current (minimum temperature/z-position fluctuations)
• Brilliant images without disturbing condensation on the lid due to optimal heat distribution across the Heated Lid
• Suitable for oil immersion microscopy when used with the Objective Heater Universal – Silver Line (not included)
• Suitable for DIC microscopy and TIRF
• Can be combined with the ibidi Gas Incubation System to create a complete Stage Top Incubator for long-term physiologic conditions on the microscope with controlled temperature, humidity, CO₂, and O₂
• Humidity sensor is integrated into the Heated Lid and close to the sample
• Extra sample stabilization by magnetic slide holder
• Includes IncuControl software for remote control and data recording
• Includes external temperature sensor (e.g., for measuring the sample temperature during calibration of the system)
