PR1MA™ Mini CO₂ Incubator

• Digital control of temperature and CO₂
• Personal-sized, 13 x 14.5 in. footprint (20 L)
• Accepts bottles and flasks up to 2 L
• Includes 2 stainless steel shelves
• Dual beam, infrared sensor

At only 13 inches wide, the PR1MA™ Mini CO₂ Incubator is the smallest and most economical incubator for applications requiring CO₂ gas control. Its small footprint makes the incubator ideal for use inside of biological safety cabinets, isolating sensitive cultures, or for any laboratory simply trying to conserve bench space. With a thick layer of high-efficiency insulation surrounding the chamber, the incubator is also ideal for the transportation of cells. Once power has been disconnected, the incubator maintains temperature levels within 10% of the set parameter for up to 1 hour*. In addition, each model includes a 12 V vehicle power adapter for operating the instrument in a car, boat, etc.

Both temperature and CO₂ percentages are digitally adjustable and displayed in real-time on the large LED control panel. This panel also features a “Cal” function, for easy in-lab calibration of the temperature or CO₂. In addition, humidity (up to 80%) can be added to the chamber by inserting the included (stainless steel) humidity reservoir.

Despite its small size, the incubator features a relatively large 20 L chamber with the capacity for flasks and bottles up to 2 liters. Two removable, stainless-steel shelves are included. The shelves are perforated to improve airflow within the chamber.

* If disconnected from the CO₂ supply, CO₂ percentage decreases by approx. 1%/30 min.

SureTherm™ CO₂ Incubator Series with IncuView™ LCI

• Precision temperature control
• 6-sided heating, ambient +5°C to 60°C
• Heated door and door frame
• Prevents condensation
• Excellent accuracy and recovery after opening the door
• Quick recovery of temperature and CO₂
• Internal microscope option
• Monitor cells on the display or remotely on a smart device

Cell cultures depend on optimized growth conditions in order to thrive. With precise temperature and CO₂ control, Benchmark's SureTherm^™ Incubators provide the perfect environment for your cultures. All SureTherm^™ Incubators feature a proprietary heat distribution system that combines six-sided heating with a low speed internal fan. Air is circulated uniformly throughout the chamber without air exchange from the external environment. This results in a controlled, protected environment with minimal temperature fluctuations (within 0.1°C). Two chamber volumes are available – 45 L and 180 L.  The 180 L model also includes options for high heat decontamination, a split glass door and oxygen gas control.

These are the first and only incubators with the optional (patent pending) IncuView^™ LCI (Live Cell Imaging) technology for viewing cells in "real time". An internal microscope and large, external display allow cells to be viewed without removal from the incubator, eliminating the inherent temperature fluctuations and risk of contamination. Cells are easily viewed on the large, integrated display or viewed locally or remotely with a Wi-Fi enabled phone, tablet or computer. Cell viewing requires the IncuView^™ Integrated Microscope Shelf.
