Microprocessor Control
The CytoGROW™ GLP incubator
is managed by an integrated microprocessor controller to simplify all
incubator functions. Stable temperature
and humidity conditions are achieved
through a combination of performance
systems supervised by the controller
complete with alarm, calibration
and diagnostic protocols.
All incubator functions are managed •
by a fully integrated microprocessor
controller which acquires and processes information from data entry,
setpoints and alarm parameters.
A range of setpoint, alarm and •
programmable inputs are established
through the use of function keys.
Standard parameters are factory-set •
for quick start-up, and all parameters
can be changed as required.
Most parameters can be exported •
to remote databases, off-site alarm
or data capture systems through
optional communications ports
for compliance monitoring.
A remote alarm terminal at the rear •
of the cabinet can be connected to
an external alarm system.
Tactile feedback, touch pad data •
shift and entry keys simplify
operation.

Direct Heat and Air Jacket™
Heating System
The patented Direct Heat and Air Jacket™
surrounds the inner walls with a natural
convection airflow that converts to radiant
wall heat through thermal conduction
to achieve accurate, uniform and highly
responsive temperature control within
the chamber.
Energizes any, all or
in combination of heating
elements as required.
The microprocessor controller directs •
proportional distribution of power
to independent heating sources surrounding the chamber.
Arranged in three zones, these sources •
include the side, top and rear walls,
the chamber base and the outer door.
Each zone is controlled by the micro-•
processor which manages continuous
feedback from the incubator
chamber sensors.
FRONT SIDE
The patented Direct Heat and Air Jacket™ heating
system distributes proportional energy to the interior
chamber through a natural convection air jacket
surrounded by a high-density insulation to protect
against ambient temperature fluctuations.
The patented Direct Heat and Air Jacket™ conditioning
system manages setpoint temperature through multiple
variable warming points under microprocessor control.
To avoid cell culture desiccation, the CytoGROW™
incubator maintains ~95% RH at 37°C.
