Bench Top Incubator (K-MINC-1000)

The MINC Benchtop Incubator (MINC) is a microprocessor-controlled, gassed, humidified, incubator intended for use in cell culture.

Features

• The MINC is designed to maintain temperature accurately at a user-specified temperature within the range of 35 to 40°C and to maintain accurate gas flow at a user-specified flow rate within the range of 15 to 25 mL/min.
• The MINC utilizes premixed gas (6% CO2, 5% O2, and 89% N2) to maintain optimum culture conditions within the incubation chambers.
• All components in contact with the gas flow, including external and internal gas lines, have undergone rigorous testing to ensure a toxin-free environment.
• The MINC  has the ability to accept  NUNC®  four well culture dishes,  or  NUNC®  and  FALCON®  35  mm and  60  mm single round culture dishes in two separate chambers. The two chambers have individual temperature control whilst the single gas flow control applies commonly to both chambers.
• The heater blocks under each culture dish are in direct contact with the bottom surface of the dish. Whenever the chamber lid is opened and closed, a rapid purge with the gas mix occurs to re-establish the required environment.
• The MINC enhances safety by continuously monitoring critical functions. Deviation from normal operation is immediately detected and the user is alerted to the detected fault. The device can be connected to an external remote alarm to alert staff out of normal working hours to any problems that the device is unable to self-correct in the allotted time.
• The K-MINC-1000 Logger Software is a PC-based program that is used to continuously record the operating state of up to 10 devices. The software monitors the behavior of the MINC, but will not control the device. This software can only be used with MINCs with serial numbers from A803560 onward.
