Micro Incubator

SmartSlide™ 150

The SmartSlide™ 150 Micro-Incubation System is an image enabling platform that maintains cells and tissues for long durations on WaferGen’s SmartSlide 6-well Micro-Incubator without having to take the plate in & out of a lab incubator. Temperature, gas and up to 3 nutrients are controlled by WaferGen’s intuitive SmartSlide Software and Instrument System.

The SmartSlide™ 150 Micro-Incubation System provides complete walk-away automation allowing scientists to grow their cells and observe differentiation, cytotoxicity, apoptosis, chemotaxis, and much more under physiological conditions. The SmartSlide 150 Micro-Incubation System is designed to support cell and tissue cultures when temperature control, gas fl ow rates and nutrient changes are critical parameters. Compact design provides for dexterity in tight lab space.
