Intended Use
INHECO’s Incubators (Incubator MP, Incubator DWP, Incubator Shaker MP and
Incubator Shaker DWP) are automated and compact single incubating positions for the
use in fundamental research, drug discovery, clinical research and diagnostic
applications in automated liquid handling stations.
The incubators can be used as stand-alone devices or stacked to form a tower. The
flexible design of the incubator devices allow even stacking of different devices in one
tower. The unique vibration reduced shaking principle offers free programmable shaking
curves (orbital, linear, eight, elliptic, etc) and amplitudes. The precise automated drawer
system guarantees a direct and easy access by robotic grippers and pipetting heads.
The Incubator devices have a built-in precise temperature and shaker control (only
shaker devices), plate loading sensors, several test routines and an USB interface for
controlling the devices, enabling the use of the Incubator products in FDA, IVD compliant
environments and applications. Software and verification tools are available to form a
complete thermal solution for all kinds of incubation applications.
The Incubator devices are designed specifically for use in Life Science and In Vitro
Diagnostics. The Incubator devices are prepared for easy integration into IVD
applications, but the final IVD validation has to be performed by the first marketer (IVD
application).
When using the devices of the Incubator family in a Biosafety Laboratory Environment,
the user of the device is responsible for labeling the device according to the WHO
Laboratory Biosafety Manual (ISBN 92 4154650 6). The user is furthermore responsible
for operating the devices of the Incubator family depending on the biosafety level
regulations according to the WHO Laboratory Biosafety Manual.
A technical skilled integrator has to install and integrate the Incubator. The Incubator
should be used exclusively by laboratory professionals trained in laboratory techniques
with labautomation systems and having studied the instructions for use of this
instrument.
