Mini CO2 incubators reduce the risks of cross-contamination and allow sensitive cell and tissue culture material to be kept separately
The new MiniGalaxy CO2 incubators from RS Biotech are the ideal solution for scientists and technicians who require their own personal incubation space Further reducing the risks of cross-contamination, the mini incubators allow sensitive cell and tissue culture material to be kept separately and are available as a fully specified model or a budget version

Affordable personal incubators for peace of mind
Design allows storage of individual and sensitive cell and tissue cultures, and eliminates the risks of contamination associated with the sharing of larger CO2 incubators by multiple users
Fully specified CO2 conditions for cell culture
Innovative small footprint CO2 incubators are now available with a comprehensive range of features and options including high temperature decontamination and oxygen control
With a compact 50 litre capacity and small footprint, the new state of the art MiniGalaxy series is also ideal for laboratories where bench space is at a premium.
Saving on cost as well as space, the mini incubators eliminate the risks of contamination created when multiple users share a larger CO2 incubator.
Unlike most CO2 incubators, the MiniGalaxy models have one heated double-glazed door with an integral viewing window, allowing observation without disturbance to cultures.
Easier access to the chamber reduces the risk of fluctuations in temperature, CO2, and humidity levels that can be inhibitory to cell culture growth.
The datalogging system available on the A model records temperature and CO2 levels every 15 seconds and presents the data in a simple graphical format.
Up to 72 hours of temperature and CO2 readings, door openings, and alarm events can be stored for on-screen review or downloading, which is invaluable for quality validation information.
Although any incubator can record fluctuating conditions, only Galaxy incubators can both record and show why these occurred.
For optimising chamber conditions on the A model, the comprehensive on-screen Help file largely replaces the conventional user manual by guiding the operator through the initial set up routine.
The diagnostic screen provides existing users with guidance on changing conditions or problem analysis, leading to a reduction in after-sales costs.
As forced fan circulation can also be a source of contamination and cell line disruption, MiniGalaxy incubators have been designed to operate without a fan, and air movement in the chamber is by thermodynamic convection only.
The chambers are extremely easy to clean, with a deep-drawn stainless steel chamber along with an easily removable one-piece shelf rack system. Request a free brochure from RS Biotech Laboratory Equipment ...
