MINC Benchtop Incubator

• 24 hour digital recording of MINC temperature and gas flow.
• Time-stamped alarms include description of event.
• Graphical representation of data for rapid, comprehensive review.
• New standard of quality assurance.
• Ability for procedures to be improved based on complete, 24 hour data.

Constant temperature

• Heated chamber baseplate and lid provide a stable thermal environment for embryo culture.
• Embryos are directly exposed to a consistent temperature of 37°C.
• Rapid heat transfer provides faster recovery times than other incubators.

Rapid pH recovery maintains homeostasis

• The MINC design initiates an automatic gas purge when the lid is closed to reestablish the desired environment.
• pH returns to physiological range faster than other incubators.
• Embryonic stress is reduced by a rapid return to favorable culture conditions.

Improved laboratory efficiency

• The MINC uses minimal amounts of premixed gas to create and maintain a physiological culture environment.
• Compact size fits in the smallest labs, allowing increased cycle volume without an increase in lab space.
• Dual chambers fit an array of tissue culture dishes.
• Detachable whiteboards aid laboratory organization by designating embryo location within the MINC.

Optimal embryo development depends upon the maintenance of temperature and pH. The MINC Benchtop Incubator is specifically designed to rapidly equilibrate temperature and pH, optimizing the culture environment. This reduces embryonic stress and improves viability.
