Overview
 | Extended live cell imaging requires strict control of temperature, humidity, CO2 and O2 levels in order to maintain sample integrity and focus position. The cellVivo incubation system’s innovative workflow-optimized design provides precise and user-friendly control of even the most sensitive samples. The unique design allows one-handed manipulation of both the incubator and specimen, thus minimizing exposure to the external environment. Intelligent software enables easy set-up and ensures continuous monitoring of conditions, even remotely. cellVivo is a modular and flexible ‘one-size-fits-all’ incubation system, which is fully adaptable to IX73 and IX83 inverted microscopes. Further flexibility is provided by the various enclosure types and components, which can even allow for advanced laser-safe functionality. |

Accurate Control of Environmental ConditionsThe cellVivo incubation system provides reliable control of temperature and gas (CO2 and CO2/O2) with up to 0.05 °C and 0.1 % accuracy, respectively. It changes the complete sample environment five times per minute and allows for a variety of experimental protocols with 0 - 20 % CO2 and 0 - 21 % O2. |
|
| Innovations in Incubation - from Start to FinishThe cellVivo incubation system has been specifically designed to optimize the workflow of advanced live cell imaging. This attention to detail covers all components from the innovative design of the door and handle, to the CO2 cover’s one-finger sliding mechanism, which enables users to simultaneously and easily adjust the sample and incubator with only one hand. This minimizes the time samples are exposed to the uncontrolled external environment. |
|---|
Quick and Easy AssemblyThe cellVivo incubator can be assembled in seconds and without the use of tools. Adjustments are easy with simple, detachable panels. The incubator can also be quickly removed, thus allowing the microscope to be easily adapted for the next experimental setup. |
|
Intelligent Light ShieldingVarious enclosure types are available from standard transparent housing to high-end, light-shielded enclosures with incorporated safety laser-locks. Intelligent light-shielded enclosures provide darkroom conditions for the sample so the microscope does not need to be used in a dedicated darkroom. Cell-friendly adjustable LED interior lighting and a non-reflective glass viewing window enable a clear view of the chamber interior. |
| Easy to UseTo further simplify the set-up of advanced live cell experiments, cellVivo software enables easy programming of the desired conditions. The software allows users to store and reload specific parameter sets. |
|---|
Intuitive Traffic Light Environmental IndicatorThe cellVivo software offers a unique ‘traffic light’ system to easily keep track of conditions. Intuitive green-yellow-red indicators keep users informed about environmental conditions and focus stability. |
Monitor Experimental Conditions from AnywhereDuring the experiment, environmental data are automatically recorded. The software also offers a web interface that enables ‘anytime, anywhere’ monitoring, with the option of email alerts in the event of critical conditions. |
Dynamic ExperimentsThe cellVivo system can be easily programmed, making it ideal for dynamic experiments, in which the user can define specific changes in temperature and gas concentration. Energy savings are also facilitated by automatic on and off functionality. |
ModularityThe cellVivo system is highly modular, allowing users to build a system according to their specific needs. With numerous options available, it easy to build a variety of systems ranging from solutions for basic temperature control to advanced laser-safe housings. |
