The ASTEC MN-2 MINI Bench Top Incubator is engineered to provide maximum flexibility with a minimal footprint. A compact desktop incubator, the MN-2 MINI is compatible with both dry and humidified incubation requirements, making it a versatile addition to any laboratory setting. For humid applications, water can be placed under the perforated plate, building humidity through natural evaporation up to 90%+. For dry applications, the MINI includes base plates to adjust to non-humidified cultures. This adaptability makes the MINI suitable as a primary culture incubator or as a standby unit for transferring cultures.
The thermal environment in the MINI is optimally sheltered with a heated top and bottom, ensuring uniform temperature distribution. Each chamber is independently temperature-controlled and designed for optimal cell culture conditions. An observation window, inherited from the EC6S model, allows users to monitor cultures without disturbing the internal environment. An ergonomic latch securely seals the chamber, preventing any gas leakage that could compromise the culture. The MINI’s design also includes easy access and convenient sampling ports located at the front of the unit, allowing operators to reach samples without moving the incubator.
Safety is a priority with the MN-2, which comes equipped with a standard alarm system for both temperature and gas flow. These alarms can be monitored redundantly through outputs at the back of the unit. Additionally, gas flow can be disabled when the incubator is not in use, conserving gas and reducing costs.
The compact size and sophisticated design of the MN-2 make it an excellent choice for labs that require a flexible and reliable incubation solution.
