incubators.
Direct warming of the dishes in the chambers gives superior temperature conditions in
comparison to conventional multiroom IVF incubators.
The temperature in the compartment will remain stable up to 1 °C (even when a lid is
open for 30s) and will recover within 1 min after the lid is closed.
The Esco Medical Mini MIRI
®
multiroom IVF incubators have 2 completely separate cul-
ture heat chambers. Each chamber has its own heated lid and warming plate for Petri
dish. Mini MIRI

Humidity capacity for 35 mm Petri dish is 16 pcs.
And for 60 mm and 4-well Petri dishes
–
8 pcs.
To ensure maximum performance, the system of Mini MIRI

Humid-
ity multiroom IVF incubators have 4 separate PID temperature controllers. They control
and regulate temperature in culture chambers and lids. Compartments do not affect each
other's temperatures in any way. The top and the bottom of each compartment is sepa-
rated with a PET layer so that the lid temperature would not affect the bottom. For vali-
dation purposes, each compartment has a PT-1000 sensor built in. The circuitry is sepa-
rated from the unit's electronics so it remains a truly separate validation system.
