A stage top incubator for long-term live cell imaging on every inverted microscope, with precise temperature regulation, active humidity control, and CO2 regulation
Applications
The ibidi Stage Top Incubators – Silver Line are ideal for live cell imaging experiments that require physiologic conditions on the microscope.
Combining the ibidi Gas Incubation System and the ibidi Heating System, they precisely control essential parameters such as temperature, humidity, and CO2 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 and oxygen depletion experiments (only ibidi Stage Top Incubator Slide/Dish, CO2/O2 – Silver Line)
The ibidi Stage Top Incubators – Silver Line are 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
Stage top incubator for long-term physiologic conditions on the microscope with controlled temperature, humidity, and CO2
Easy installation on every inverted microscope that has a holder for multiwell plates
Highest focus stability during microscopy due to heat regulation by continuous current (minimum temperature/z-position fluctuations)
Highest xy-stability on the microscope stage due to the clamping mechanism of the Heated Plate
Prevents evaporation inside the Incubation Chamber by active, feedback-controlled humidity regulation (ibidi’s patented Humidity Control) with precise measurement close to the sample (humidity sensor is integrated into the Heated Lid)
Also available with CO2 and O2 control for hypoxia and oxygen depletion experiments: ibidi Stage Top Incubator Slide/Dish, CO2/O2 – Silver Line
Brilliant images without disturbing condensation on the Heated Lid of the Incubation Chamber due to optimal heat distribution
Suitable for high-resolution oil immersion microscopy when used with the ibidi Objective Heater Universal (not included)
