Multiplate Microplate Incubator, BioTek BioSpa

Features

Automate workflows from sample preparation to detection. Operation scheduled in the software can run for days or weeks. Up to 8 microplates are processed while unattended, saving time in your laboratory.
Critical physiological conditions are controlled and maintained to ensure assay success. Temperature and CO₂/O₂ control, and humidity monitoring facilitate live cell processes. BioSpa software continuously records the environment conditions.
The software records system and environmental conditions throughout the run. Customizable notifications allow you to walk away from the process with confidence. OnDemand mode provides simple, efficient imaging or detection protocol creation.
OnDemand mode allows labware to be added or removed without interrupting operations in process, for workflow flexibility. Multiple users can be defined in the system and can visually track their unique experiment in progress.
Small footprint saves benchtop space and fits easily into optional biosafety enclosure if necessary.
User-friendly software and simple integration with Gen5 and LHC software enable easy operation. Intuitive scheduling process saves time when implementing short and long-term applications.

How It Works

Complete workflow automation, sample prep to detection

BioSpa 8 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 the BioSpa drawers, and the gripper moves to the connected imaging, detection, and liquid handlers as scheduled in the BioSpa software.

Records environment conditions, automated alerts

BioSpa software monitors and records the system and environment conditions throughout the entire run time. Customizable text and email notifications allow you to walk away from the process with confidence. OnDemand mode for simple, efficient imaging or detection protocols.

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.

Applications

Environmentally controlled incubator

Many workflows can benefit from BioSpa environmentally-controlled incubator that moves plates to and from the incubator to integrated imagers, readers and liquid handlers.

Live-Cell Analysis System

The Agilent BioTek BioSpa automated incubator integrates to Agilent BioTek Cytation cell imaging multimode readers and microplate washers or dispensers, to create an automated platform for a wide range of applications.

Technology

Cell Counting

Accurate cell counting is a critical step across a spectrum of cell biology applications. Direct cell counting uses methods that identify and enumerate individual cells, as opposed to indirect methods that estimate population sizes using biochemical methods.
