Stage Top Incubators

The Stage Top Incubators offer precision temperature, humidity and CO2 control for cell culture on a microscope, such as short and long term (more than 2 weeks) Time-Lapse Imaging.

By applying Real-time Sample Feedback Regulation, it can maintain an optimal cell culture environment which is as same as the conventional CO2 incubator.

With our variety of options, we can offer solutions for many applications, leading to success for your experiments.

Accurate and uniform temperature control

TOKAI HIT Heating Quality

Tokai Hit's original Top Heater is proven to distribute heat uniformly within the Chamber regardless of the type of vessels.

 
No interference by objective

With its unique Top Heater Heating Time regulation, the bottom of Chamber is access-free for variety of objectives. (No metal plate at the bottom.)

 
Real-time Sample Feedback Regulation

Sterilized temperature sensor and magnetic lids make it easy to measure the temperature of culture media upon research needs.
The controller regulates the heater based on the sensor signal to keep sample at the target temp. accurately.
 

Apply Internal Humidifier to keep high humidity condition during the imaging

Keeps high humidity inside the chamber by heating the distilled water in the Bath Unit.
Internal Humidifier minimizes the change in concentration of media by keeping the humidity inside the chamber.

 
Stable CO2 environment

The controller mixes 100%CO2 gas and the surrounding air automatically. Stable gas concentration inside the Chamber is obtained by keep sending the mixed gas to the Chamber.
(?In case of controller with a built-in digital gas mixer)

 
Stress-Free Quality

Prevent the focus drift

In addition to PID control, Continuous Current Control minimizes the focus drift generated by thermal expansion and it also prevents light intensity change compared to the conventional ON/OFF control.

 
STX-APP (Software)

Simple operation of GUI will assist to visualize the preparation to setting and lead your cell culture to success.

 
Programmable Control

The system includes the software to program temp. and CO2/O2 concentration as this function allows to expand the variety of experiment.

 
Screen Capture

Captures the PC screen to transfer images to smart-phones and tablets. Enables to see the image at home. *PC must be connected with internet.

Data Logging

Logs the temperature of each heaters, sample temperature and gas concentration and saves the data in CSV format.
