Ultracompact incubator for cell culture on a microscope stage.
- Temperature and CO2 are controlled on the microscope stage for continuous cell culture. Live cell observation and time-lapse imaging can be easily performed. - The cultivation environment can be easily controlled with minimal operation, and it is a cost-effective package with a compact configuration that focuses on functional performance. - With a customizable prefix structure designed for customization, it can be flexibly tailored to fit microscopes and culture containers.

basic information
- A transparent glass heater that heats up while remaining clear is integrated into the upper and lower parts of a small chamber, with a well plate set inside for temperature management. - A small CO2 controller (sold separately) supplies 5% adjusted CO2, creating an environment suitable for cell culture on a desktop. - An autonomous temperature control device stably controls the target temperature (Note 1), measuring and switching the control target between the glass heater temperature and the desired temperature as needed to maintain the target temperature. - The transparent glass heater can be set within a range of room temperature to 60°C. - Cooling is also possible with a Peltier unit. If you want to change the temperature in arbitrary steps, you can incorporate steps for temperature decrease that cannot be achieved with the glass heater alone into the program. - We offer versions tailored to the embedded devices used by our customers. - With a prefixed structure that allows for easy customization, we can provide custom versions based on the basic model at a low cost to suit microscopes or research purposes. Custom upgrades after purchase are also possible. Note 1: The temperature sensor can be attached to the top surface of the well plate or inserted into the culture medium.

Detailed information
-
Transparent glass heater The transparent glass heater is incorporated above and below the chamber for heating and control. Since the transparent glass heater generates heat while maintaining a uniform temperature distribution across the surface and remains transparent, it allows for observation under a microscope while heating.
-
Self-regulating temperature control device It precisely and optimally manages the temperatures of the heater and the target. Blast's transparent glass heater has a high heating capacity, so initially, the heater is maintained at the upper limit set temperature. If the temperature of the target (selected from the internal atmosphere, plate surface, culture medium, etc.) reaches the set value with a delay, the control target switches from the heater to the target. If the lid is opened or the ambient temperature changes, the control target is appropriately switched between the heater and the target to maintain optimal temperature control.
-
Microscope incubator. This system allows for long-term culture while adjusting CO2 concentration in combination with a separately sold CO2 controller.
-
Custom stage support We offer custom shapes tailored to microscopes at an affordable price.
-
Fluorescence microscope It can also be used with a fluorescence microscope.
-
Pocket Chamber CP089 also has a smaller dish-shaped pocket chamber for slide glass. Its dimensions are the same as those of a well plate, allowing it to be directly mounted on a standard plate holder of an electric stage.

Company information
Our company manufactures and sells transparent glass heaters. They remain transparent even when heated, allowing for observation of the object being heated. The transparent glass heater can be heated up to 200°C and will not break even with rapid temperature changes. The temperature distribution across the surface is uniform, enabling precise temperature control in low-temperature ranges around 40°C, which is suitable for applications such as cell culture. We offer a variety of standard units, including panel shapes, which can be used immediately upon arrival. In the bio, medical, and chemical fields, we incorporate transparent glass heaters into various heating devices and produce custom applications. They can be used in applications requiring precise temperature control, such as microreactors, cell culture devices, and slide glass heaters. Blast Corporation provides comprehensive thermal solutions, including temperature control and integration, centered around transparent glass heaters.
