The Thermo Scientific Cytomat 6001 established the Cytomat product line as the leader in cooled automated incubators. Customers consider the Cytomat 6001 to be an enabling technology for cell-based assays, proven to provide extremely uniform and stable temperature, humidity and CO₂ conditions in hundreds of automated systems worldwide. By providing uniform temperature, humidity and CO₂ conditions, the Cytomat 6001 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 6001 offers a temperature range of from 10°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.  For applications requiring a cooler temperature, the Cytomat 6001 C4 offers all of the same features as the 6001, with a temperature range of 4°C to 50°C. 

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 Shuttle^TM 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 6001 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 incubator.  This minimizes plate movement and provides superior sample and plate tracking.
