| Stable environment for Live cell imaging |
Chamlide incubator systems create a stable cell environment by maintaining proper temperature,
humidity and pH over the long term. |

| Controller |
Chamlide controllers use PID for precise temperature control of all electrical parts
(the incubator cover, incubator main body, humidifier, and lens warmer) and for
adjusting the flow rate of CO2 gas. Also, these controllers are user friendly making
them easy to operate. |
| Incubator |
The Chamlide incubator creates optimal cell growth conditions by controlling the
temperature, humidity and pH. The incubator main body is the heating plate and it
precisely maintains the temperature of cells. The incubator cover contains a built-in
glass heater that uses small reflecting glass to achieve perfect transmission for
imaging and also helps to control the inside temperature, preventing the formation of
condensation. |
| Humidifier |
The Chamlide humidifier maintains humidity inside the incubator to prevent evaporation, which can cause cell damage. The role of the humidifier is to generate warm water vapor. This warm moisture does not affect temperature within the incubator. Also, CO2 gas
passes through the humidifier and thus enters the incubator mixed with warm vapor.
The rate of air-bubbling in the humidifier can be used to check the flow of CO2 gas. |
| Lens warmer |
When the use of high numeric aperture lenses for high-resolution imaging is required, it
is necessary to control the temperature of the objectives. Since the optical coupling
medium (oil, glycerin, or water) acts as a thermal coupling medium, it draws heat
away from the specimen. The Chamlide lens warmer maintains proper temperature
of the lens and its heating band design means that it will fit all types of objectives. |

| Use with Chamlide magnetic chambers and commercial culture ware |
Chamlide incubator systems accept various Chamlide 35mm dish type magnetic chambers as well as
disposable 35mm culture dishes and all well plates. |
| |
| Compact design |
| Chamlide incubator systems can be easy handling as well as portable from the microscope to the other |
| site. Also, Chamlide incubator systems are very compatible to all microscopes. |
| |
| Convenient computer-controlled operation |
| Chamlide incubator systems can regulate the temperatures of the incubator main body, incubator cover, |
| humidifier and lens warmer using CCP software. Using CCP, it is possible to program temperature |
| gradients and record temperatures over time. |
