Solent Scientific has been manufacturing full enclosure incubation chambers for Research Inverted Microscopes, Confocal Microscopes and Multi Photon Microscop es since 1997. Such chambers:
The benefits of full enclosure chambers over other designs were discussed in an article in the June 2002 issue of European Biotechnology News.
Our chambers are sold both direct from our Portsmouth offices, through all the major manufacturers of inverted and confocal microscop es as well as through many image analysis software houses. If you have difficulty in finding a local vendor please E-mail us at info@solentsci.com
I want to use a small, stage top incubator. Can you supply one?
No. This type of environmental chamber does not provide precise and accurate temperature control nor does it stabilise focus drift. Both of these parameters are essential for live cell imaging.
I want to use a perfusion chamber. Can you supply one?
No. This type of environmental chamber also does not provide precise and accurate temperature control nor does it stabilise focus drift. Both of these parameters are essential for live cell imaging.
I have made my own chamber. Can I buy just your heater and controller?
In general we do not sell our heaters and controllers separately. Whilst it is possible to adapt our heater and controller for use with your chamber the time taken to physically adapt the heater and then calibrate the device makes such a route beyond economic viability.
Are the Incubation Chambers CE marked?
Yes. Solent Scientific incubation chambers fully comply with the current EC requirements. A Declaration of Conformity is shipped with every incubator.
