Considered as an enabling technology for cell-based assays by clients worldwide, the Thermo Scientific Cytomat 6000 provides extremely uniform and stable temperature, humidity and CO2 conditions with a temperature range of Ta+8°C to 50°C.
Product Detail
The Cytomat 6000 set the standard in automated incubation in 1997 and has proven itself as a perennial favorite. By providing uniform temperature, humidity and CO2 conditions, the Cytomat 6000 creates the most advantageous environment for automated assay systems. Unsurpassed temperature uniformity and stability ensure that your processes can be fully reproduced, providing you with the same high quality results every time.
The Cytomat 6000 offers a temperature range of from Ta+8°C to +50°C with a humidity level of up to 95% rH and storage for 189 standard microplates. A specially designed internal water reservoir creates this stable, high level of humidity, and ventilated stackers minimize evaporation.
A single point of integration creates an extremely robot-friendly design, as the robot only needs to be taught one position for plate retrieval. The small access door and Thermo Scientific Plate ShuttleTM system allow microplates to enter and exit the unit in seconds, significantly minimizing disruption to the controlled environment and virtually eliminating recovery times. Loading and unloading results in less than 0.5°C fluctuation, and the atmosphere inside the Cytomat 6000 regenerates rapidly, regardless of the number of plates being retrieved. The Plate Shuttle system and access door can handle all standard microplate formats including deep-well plates.
A built in barcode reader can scan barcodes at any plate position inside the Cytomat 6000. This minimizes plate movement and provides superior sample and plate tracking.
