The EC10 Bench Top Incubator is the latest advanced iteration of ASTEC's incubator line. It offers improved capacity and temperature stability, as well as industry-leading gas recovery and consumption rates, while maintaining the independently controlled chambers the line is known for. A reengineered design allows easy access to the rear chambers, enhancing user convenience. Each chamber is equipped with a built-in gas mixer, and an optional VOC-absorbing filter can be connected to the circulation gas line for continuous filtering. The chambers are independently temperature-controlled for rapid temperature recovery. The bottom plate design securely holds various dish sizes (6 x 35 mm, 3 x 60 mm, and 2 x 4-well dishes) for maximum storage capacity and custom plates are available upon request. Each chamber also features a tempered glass observation window to enable users to check cultures without disturbing samples. For enhanced safety, the incubator includes an analog output and BMS (contact relay) for connectivity to external devices, allowing remote monitoring and alerts for any irregularities. Convenient sampling ports located at the front of the unit provide easy access without moving the incubator, and secondary temperature sensors in each chamber offer improved lab quality assurance and safety protocols by allowing daily temperature checks while dishes remain inside. Designed for space efficiency, the EC10 can be installed in stacks of up to three units using an exclusive stand, accommodating a total of 30 chambers. This design helps labs run more cycles without compromising operational integrity.- Improved Capacity: Enhanced storage capacity with 10 chambers, each holding 6 x 35 mm dishes, 3 x 60 mm dishes, and 2 x 4-well dishes.
- Independent Temperature Control: Each chamber independently maintains temperature with rapid recovery due to the built-in gas mixer.
- Observation Windows: Tempered glass windows allow for culture monitoring without disturbing samples.
- Safety Features: Includes an analog output and BMS for remote monitoring and alerting of irregularities.
- Convenient Access: Front sampling ports and secondary temperature sensors for easy access and improved quality assurance.
- Space Efficiency: Low-profile design allows stacking of up to three units with the exclusive stand, providing 30 chambers in one spot.

The ASTEC SD830 mini-Cube Single Drawer Incubator is designed to offer a versatile incubation solution that is both compact and expandable. The mini-Cube can be used for both dry and humidified culture, heated from the top and bottom to ensure a stable and well-protected environment within its chamber. The standard bottom plates for humidified incubation can achieve over 90% humidity in just three minutes. Optional bottom plates for dry incubation are also available. A new optional split chamber feature allows dishes for up to two samples to occupy the same drawer. This design enables users to access a desired dish in half of the chamber with minimal disturbance to the other half, maintaining separate identification in a compact space. The solid aluminum base drawer is removable, allowing it to be autoclaved for cleanliness and sterility independently of the rest of the incubator. The mini-Cube’s gas mixing system, located at the back of the unit, efficiently combines incoming gases to provide the necessary mixed levels for your culture, eliminating the need for premixed gas. The mini-Cube also offers front-located gas sampling ports for easy access. The unit is designed to maximize lab space, with the capability to stack up to three mini-Cubes in the same footprint as a 30L water-jacketed incubator.-
