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.
