CCM-iBIS

Making "Time-lapse" Affordable & Easy

As a pioneer of time-lapse incubation systems (since 2005), ASTEC proudly introduces the all new cell monitoring system for embryo culture known as the "CCM-iBIS". Utilizing a robust built-in gas mixing system, we have successfully reduced the gas consumption and made our unit to be the most cost-effective time-lapse unit available in the market today.

Features

Optimized design

The upper Lids have been skillfully built with grade A Japanese Steel, curved to perfection, which allows extra room & flexibility to the user, while opening and closing the chambers. (The Red LED Light Source is built & engineered securely into the lid.)

Completely separated incubation chambers

Nine small incubation chambers completely separated, securely incubate the embryos without disturbing one another. Each chamber independently maintains the appropriate temperature through PID control, ensuring optimal culture conditions.

The EmbryoGrid is commercially available with affordable price from Astec.

The CCM-iBIS uses the EmbryoGrid. It is designed to be optimized for the better results that is continuously showing in published data from various sites. The EmbryoGrid is also available at an affordable price directly from Astec.

Easy Access

Gas sampling port, conveniently located in the front of the unit for easy access & hassle free testing. The touch screen panel allows for easy and straight forward control of all parameters.

Highlights

Advanced yet, Simple – Phototune

We are proud to introduce the all new Phototune (7 years of evolution) that is now the most flexible and advanced yet simple to use software available in the market today.
