As a pioneer of time-lapse incubation systems (since 2005), ASTEC proudly introduces its latest cell-monitoring system for embryo culture, known as “CCM-iBIS.” By utilizing a robust built-in gas-mixing system, we have successfully reduced gas consumption, making our unit the most cost-efficient time-lapse device available on the market today.
The upper lids are crafted with exceptional precision using premium Japanese grade-A steel, perfectly curved to provide users with additional space and flexibility when opening and closing the incubation chamber. A red LED light source is safely built into the lid and engineered for optimal performance.
