With the optional addition of humidity control, extended time lapse observations are now possible with the LiveCell TM system: a completely integrated and easy to use stage top incubation system for inverted microscopes.

At the push of a button you have adjustable, precise, and stable control over the Temperature, %CO2, and Humidity without the need for expensive pre-mixed gas, flow rate adjustments, or excessive evaporative loss of media during long observations.

  • Temperature control to 50.0 °C.
  • Temperature stability +/- 0.1 °C.
  • Temperature accuracy < 0.2 °C
  • Temperature response time 5 sec.
  • %CO2 control to 10.0% +/- 0.1%.
  • %CO2 stability +/- 0.1%.
  • %CO2 accuracy +/- 2% of max.
  • %CO2 response time 20 sec.
  • %RH control to 100% +/- 1%.
  • %RH stability +/- 1%.
  • %RH accuracy +/- 2% max.
  • %RH response time 15 sec.
  • Power 110 VAC-50/60 Hz @ 2.36 A.
  • Optional Power 220 VAC-50/60 Hz @ 1.3 A.
  • Weight 20 lbs.
  • Warm up and stabilization time < 30 min.
  • CO2 usage is <1 liter / hr
  • Minimum Operational room temperature 25 °C
  • Adjustable closed loop control
  • 5 day worry free walk away time.
  • Uses inexpensive CO2 gas.
  • No tools required to install and run.
  • Chamber is small yet large enough for nearly all sample configurations.
  • Visual alarms indicate instability
  • Fail safe heating.
  • Each function can be disabled.
  • Controller can be located up to 6 feet from the chamber.
  • Easily transported to other labs.
  • Optional RS-232 Interface.
  • Optional Humidity control.
  • Fits NIKON, OLYMPUS, LEICA, and ZEISS.
  • Accommodates various working distance condensers.
  • Differential Interference Contrast (DIC), fluorescence, and Phase Contrast imaging are all possible.
The chamber design is small enough to fit most inverted microscopes with flat stage tops, yet large enough to accommodate a broad range of sample vessels such as: slides, dishes, multiwell plates, and even incubation flasks. Different lid lenses allow you to configure the chamber for the largest sample vessel possible.
