(DH-35iL) Culture Dish Incubator

The introduction of glass-bottomed 35 mm culture dishes extended their use into areas such as confocal microscopy, fluorescence microscopy, and high resolution image analysis. The DH-35iL Culture Dish Incubator is a system designed for imaging live cells in an open culture dish (for easy access) or in a closed dish (for gas atmosphere control).

DH-35i Incubators work well with 35 mm culture dishes from all suppliers. Adapter rings are supplied to ensure a close fit for the supported dish. Dishes can be placed in the holder with or without dish covers.

The culture dish holder is machined in three pieces. The midsection and top are easily removed for dish replacement and enables the positioning of electrodes at low angles. Resistive heating of the DH-35iL is provided via the optional Warner TC-344C and TC-324C Temperature Controllers and a CC-28 cable.

Clamps are provided to ensure good contact between the dish and the heated surface and to prevent unwanted movement. The removable midsection is magnetically secured and has several ports to allow multi-channel perfusion, atmospheric maintenance, and aspiration of the dish. The base of the holder has a 25 mm aperture and the removable cover features a 36 mm glass aperture*.

When combined with our SH-27B and SF-28 In-line Solution Heaters, a complete micro-environmental system is achieved.

Included with the system are an MP-2 perfusion manifold and a set of 6 culture dish adapter rings. Series 20 Stage adapters are available for all major microscopes.
