Cytomat® 2 C400 Series

Engineered to provide even temperature distribution and rapid heating, the Cytomat 2 C400 series of incubators provide stable, homogeneous temperature and humidity conditions for optimal assay storage. Unsurpassed temperature uniformity and stability ensure that your processes can be fully reproduced, providing you with the same high quality results every time. With an installation distance of 2 meters, the external heating and cooling unit is designed to allow the user to create a customized working space for easy system integration into any automated assay system.

The Cytomat 400 series offers storage for 42 standard microplate. The Cytomat 2 C425 has a temperature range of 4° C to 25° C with a humidity level of up to more than 95% rH, while the C450 has the same humidity level, a temperature range of 4° C to 50° C and offers CO₂ control. If you require a higher temperature for your assay, the Cytomat 2 470 offers a maximum temperature of 70° C with a humidity level of 93% rH and CO₂ control. A specially designed internal water reservoir creates a stable, high level of humidity, and ventilated stackers minimize evaporation in each of the Cytomat 2 400 series incubators.

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. The Plate Shuttle system and access door 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.
