ClinoStar ™
The ClinoStar is a clinostat CO₂ incubator which allows you to culture cells in 3D.
A tablet is used to control the temperature, CO₂ level and each of the 6 clinostat motors are (independently) controlled using an intuitive software.
The CO₂ and temperature in the chamber is blended by a centrally located fan to ensure a precise, homogeneous growth environment.
Features
- Each reactor has an associated motor which can spin the reactor slowly. The speed of the motor can be precisely controlled individually using a tablet. The tablet can control multiple units.
- A fan is installed in the chamber for ventilation purposes to ensure a uniform environment within the chamber.
- For decontamination a UV-C beacon is placed in the chamber.
- 6 individual cameras allow monitoring of each bioreactor in real-time.
- The door has a push to open mechanism allowing the user to open the door with the elbow, so the hands of the user can be used for holding bioreactors.
- The unit has a small footprint and can be stacked up to 3 units high.
