Cell-Tek 3000 AS provides optimum conditions and the ability to manipulate oocytes and embryos at a comfortable stereo microscope magnification, then move without compromise of temperature, CO2 or humidity, to a high power optical system for embryo assessment. The new stereo illumination allows observation of cells and tissue as never before. The integrated dual LEDs allow observation of the embryo by white or IR-light (625 nm) similar to that utilised in “time lapse imaging”. The inbuilt mirror for the stereo microscope can be adjusted by motorised control. The dish can be safely moved from the stereo low power microscope position across the stage within the chamber to the high power imaging microscope without moving from the perfectly controlled environment.

All instruments and dishes in the chamber are maintained under optimum conditions of temperature, CO2 and humidity. Filtered and VOC free environment through UV photo-catalytic oxidization together with HEPA & carbon filter. As all equipment is located internally specimens are not affected by drafts from air conditioning ducts or unstable air environment typically found in laminar flow or biological safety cabinets.

The Cell-Tek 300 chamber provides an optimal environment for maintaining the required temperature and optimum pH of culture media whilst manipulating oocytes and embryos using stereo microscope.
