Benchtop Incubator - 12 Chamber MIRI II Multi-room Incubator - 12 chamber system

The Esco MIRI® II-12 Multiroom Incubator is a top-of-the-line solution for IVF laboratories, able to meet exacting standards of performance and validation. The incubator features 12 chambers and 24 independent PID temperature controllers to ensure minimum environmental stress for embryos.

Overview

The MIRI® II-12 incubator uses pure CO2 and N2 gases, allowing for precise control of CO2 and O2 concentrations in each chamber. The incubator features a recirculated gas system that ensures quick and complete gas replacement in less than five minutes, with gas cleaned by a 254 nm UVC light with filters to prevent dangerous ozone production. The incubator also has a complete gas control system, including pressure regulators, gas flow sensors, gas pressure sensors, and gas filters.

The incubator’s software runs on a built-in touchscreen and includes logging functions for long-term data storage, as well as a USB module for off-site evaluation of quality control data. The incubator also includes a pH sensor port, allowing users to measure the pH of samples at any time.

Description

Each compartment is separate and does not affect the temperature of other chambers. The lid temperature and the temperature in the culture chambers can be regulated and controlled separately, with PET layers separating the top and bottom of each compartment.

And because it includes a separate PT-1000 sensor for each compartment, the MIRI® II-12 incubator can accurately monitor and control the temperature of each chamber individually, ensuring optimal conditions for embryo development. The circuitry for the PT-1000 sensors is separated from the unit’s electronics, so it remains a genuinely independent validation system

Sensors

Found in Esco Medical’s line of incubators:

CO₂ sensor: M400 is a CO₂ sensing technology that provides high-end performance of dual beam technology. It is valuable during frequent calibration and the fastidious nature of CO₂ measurement equipment. It operates on the principle of non-dispersive infrared sensor (or NDIR sensor) which is a simple spectroscopic sensor often used as a gas detector.

Temperature sensors: Located at the bottom of the incubator’s compartment is the LM35 sensor while the PT1000 sensor is found at the top of the incubator compartment. The LM35 is an integrated circuit temperature sensor, wherein the output voltage varies, based on the temperature surrounding it. It is a small and inexpensive IC that can be used to measure temperature anywhere between -55°C to 150°C.

The Pt1000 sensors, on the other hand, are the second most common type of platinum resistance thermometer. Pt refers to that the sensor is made from Platinum (Pt) while 1000 refers to a resistance of 1000 ohms (Ω). Pt1000 sensors are used in two wire applications as Pt1000s make lead resistance less substantial.

O2 sensor: KE-25 is an exceptional galvanic cell type oxygen sensor. This oxygen sensor is known for its long life expectancy, superb chemical durability, and is not influenced by CO₂. They are the most commonly used sensors for oxygen monitoring in fields like combustion gas monitoring, the biochemical field, medical applications (IVF incubators), and even in domestic combustion appliances.
