BioSpa 8 Automated Incubator

BioSpa™ 8 Automated Incubator links BioTek readers and imagers together with washers and dispensers for full workflow automation of up to 8 microplates or other labware. BioSpa 8 can automate your workflows, from ELISA to long term live cell assays. Temperature and CO₂/O₂ control, plus humidity monitoring and lid handling ensure an ideal environment for cell cultures during all experiment stages, with minimal manual intervention. BioSpa’s software records and reports session timelines and environmental conditions, while customizable text and email alerts assure confidence during long and short term runs. Link a washer or dispenser and a plate reader or imager for start-to-finish workflow automation.

• Temperature, CO₂/O₂ control; humidity monitoring
• Records environment conditions; automated alerts
• OnDemand mode: Remove/replace labware, independent scheduling and multi-user profiles
• Compact for biosafety cabinet use
• Uncomplicated software and simple integration

FEATURES

Complete workflow automation, sample prep to detection

BioSpa8 handles up to 8 microplates, Petri and cell culture dishes and T25 flasks during automated processes, running for days to weeks. Place the labware in BioSpa’s drawers, and the gripper moves to the connected imaging, detection and liquid handlers as scheduled in the BioSpa software.

Temperature, CO₂/O₂ control; humidity monitoring

Critical physiological conditions are maintained in BioSpa: Incubation to 45 °C, CO₂/O₂ control and humidity monitoring facilitate live cell processes. BioSpa software continuously records the environment conditions to ensure assay success.

Records environment conditions; automated alerts

BioSpa software monitors and records the system and environment conditions throughout the entire runtime. Customizable text and email notifications allow you to walk away from the process with confidence.

OnDemand Mode

For simple, efficient imaging or detection protocols, OnDemand mode allows labware to be added or removed at any time, without interrupting operations in process. Multiple users can be defined in the system and each user can visually track their own experiment’s progress on the dynamic timeline.

Compact for benchtop use, or for optional biosafety cabinet use

When the workflow calls for sterile conditions, BioSpa and integrated instruments is compact enough to fit in a biosafety enclosure.

Uncomplicated software and simple integration

BioSpa software integrates seamlessly with Gen5 and LHC software to provide easy and intuitive scheduling for short and long-term processes.
