BioStation CT CombinesIncubator and Inverted Microscope in One Compact Unit

A completely integrated hands-off system for managing, observing and recording the growth of cells in culture has been launched by Nikon Instruments. By combining the precise environmental control capabilities of a high-performance CO2 incubator with the advanced optics needed for drift-free, live-cell imaging, the BioStation CT entirely removes the need for culture dishes to be transported from one location to another for observation.

The ability to avoid fluctuations in temperature, humidity and gas concentration associated with the movement of cell cultures from an incubator to a microscope will make the BioStation CT of great interest to everyone working in: regenerative medicine, toxicology, drug discovery, and biologically-based drug production.
