MIRI® Time Lapse Incubator

MIRI® Time Lapse Incubator

The Esco Medical MIRI® TL6 and MIRI® TL12 multiroom IVF incubator are a CO2/O2 incubators with time-lapse capability.

Features

• In the MIRI® TL6 it possible to incubate up to 84 embryos, whereas MIRI® TL12 – up to 168 The multiroom IVF incubators can generate time-lapse images and provide them to identify development quality and stag
• Direct warming of the dishes in the chambers gives superior temperature conditions in comparison to conventional multiroom IVF
• The temperature in the compartment will remain stable up to 1 °C (even when a lid is open for 30s) and will recover within 1 min after the lid is closed.
• The ESCO Medical MIRI® TL6 multiroom IVF incubator has 6 completely separate culture heat chambers, whereas MIRI® TL12 – 12 Each chamber has its own heated lid and a room for one CultureCoin® dish.
• To ensure maximum performance, the system of MIRI® TL6 multiroom IVF incubator has 12completely separate PID temperature controllers, whereas MIRI® TL12 – 24. They control and regulate temperature in culture chambers and Compartments do not affect each other’s temperatures in any way. The top and the bottom of each compartment is separated with a PET layer so that the lid temperature would not affect the bottom. For validation purposes, each compartment has a PT-1000 sensor built in. The circuitry is separated from the unit’s electronics so it remains a truly separate validation system. The incubator has been primarily developed and optimized for tissue culturing with an overlay of either Paraffin or Mineral oil.
• The multiroom IVF incubator has to be supplied with 100% CO2 and 100% N2 in order to be able to control the CO2 and O2 gas concentrations in the culture
• A dual beam infrared CO2 sensor with extremely low drift rates controls the CO2 A chemical medical grade oxygen sensor controls the level of O2
• Gas recovery time is less than 3 min after opening the lid. To validate gas concentration, the MIRI® TL6 multiroom IVF incubator is fitted with 6 gas sample ports that allow the user to sample gas from the individual compartment, whereas MIRI® TL12 – 12.
• The multiroom IVF incubator features a recirculated gas system where gas is continuously put into the compartment and taken out at the same rate. Gas is cleaned via 254 nm UVC light with direct gas contact between the bulb and gas, then through a VOC filter and through a HEPA filter. The UVC light has filters that inhibit any 185 nm radiation that would produce dangerous The VOC filter is located under the UVC light.
• Complete gas repletion in the system takes less than 5 min.

           The total gas consumption is very low. Less than 2 l/h CO2 and 5 l/h N2 in use.

• For safety reasons the multiroom IVF incubator has a very complete gas control system that consists of: pressure regulator (preventing dangerous gas pressure problems), gas flow sensors (actual consumption can be accumulated), gas pressure sensors (then user knows that the pressure and variation can be logged to avoid dangerous conditions), gas filters (to avoid valve problems).
• The multiroom IVF incubator has been primarily developed and designed for incubation of gametes and embryos with an overlay of either Paraffin or mineral oil.
• The upright LED display is large, clear and easy to read from a distance. The user can tell if the parameters are correct without going near the unit.
• The software is running on the built-in PC controls a microscopy system that can generate an image every 5 min. When compiled, these images can be viewed as a time lapse movie.
• The Software contains logging functions for a long-term data logging and storage. Web module enables the QC data to be transferred for off-site evaluation – by performing this, the manufacturer can provide a valuable service to the
• A pH sensor port is part of the DAQ The user can plug any standard BNC pH probe to the unit and measure the pH in the samples at will.
