NBS Galaxy incubators are offered in a range of three sizes and two models, with an unrivaled number of options.
All Galaxy incubators feature:
SIX-SIDED, DIRECT HEATING PROFILE
Pioneered in Galaxy incubators, the unique direct-heat profile gently bathes the cells in a consistent atmosphere through gentle convection. This system guards against wide fluctuations in temperature and CO2 that can shock cells, as seen in traditional forced-air culture systems.
FANLESS DESIGN
Galaxy incubators pioneered elimination of conventional fans, replacing them with our unique heating profile, which sets up a gentle circulation of air. By removing the fan, Galaxy incubators have eliminated a classic source of repeated contamination, allowing the entire incubator — including upper shelf — to be utilized while maintaining uniformity. In addition, since there is no fan, there is no need for an expensive internal HEPA filter that needs to be replaced frequently.IR CO2 SENSOR
Standard in all Galaxy models, is our unique InfraRed (IR) CO2 sensor. This sensor offers specific measurement and accurate control of CO2 levels. The traditional thermal conductivity (TC) sensor is highly sensitive to changes in chamber humidity and temperature fluctuations, and is therefore fundamentally unsuitable for use in CO2 incubators. Uniquely, the Galaxy IR Sensor can remain in the chamber during the entire high-temperature disinfection cycle, ensuring that all chamber components are sterilized.
SIMPLIFIED CLEANING
On all models, the chambers are pressed from a single sheet of stainless steel, with no welds or seams, eliminating another potential source of contamination. In combination with the easily-removable, replaceable shelves, this makes chamber cleaning a rapid and efficient process, so more time can be spent engaged in science and less with maintaining the instrument.
In common with our 170 liter incubators, our 48 liter and 14 liter incubators incorporate all of the superior design and innovation of the larger units, in a smaller format. These units offer the ideal environment for hypoxic applications, research requiring isolation, and IVF research.
Galaxy CO2 incubators come with a wide variety of options allowing customization to meet your exact requirements and level of sophistication. With High Temperature Disinfection (HTD), three levels of O2 control, and new active disinfection and humidification options, there is a Galaxy incubator for every application.
NEW FEATURES
25mm Access Port
Available for adding instrumentation or additional probes.
RS-232 Port Standard
For communication and external instrument logging.
Perforated Shelves
The unique design of the perforated shelving system optimizes temperature, CO2 and especially RH recovery to minimize the effects of door openings and closings.
Innovative Sealed Inner Glass Door
Available on 170 liter models, the new sealed inner glass door system allows viewing access to the samples while maintaining complete sample and environmental integrity. This system is designed to minimize costly CO2 and N2 consumption and to provide optimal sample stability and uniformity throughout the culturing process.
