Agilent BioTek BioSpa 8 Automated Incubator

Description

The Agilent BioTek BioSpa 8 is an automated incubator designed to integrate with laboratory instruments to create a continuous workflow. It can maintain a controlled environment for cell cultures, with a temperature range extending up to 45 °C and a control resolution of 0.1 °C. The unit accommodates various labware, including up to eight microplates ranging from 6- to 1536-well formats, as well as cell culture dishes and T25 flasks. Features such as CO2/O2 control, humidity monitoring, and automated lid handling help preserve optimal conditions. The accompanying software logs environmental data and session timelines, and can send alerts. By connecting to devices like plate washers, dispensers, readers, or imagers, the BioSpa 8 enables automated processing for assays from ELISA to extended live-cell studies.
