The Invitrogen™ EVOS™ Onstage Incubator (OSI-2) is a second-generation, fully integrated environmental control system for live-cell, long-term, time-lapse imaging on the EVOS™ M5000 and EVOS™ M7000 Imaging Systems. It provides precise control of temperature, humidity, and gas composition (O₂, CO₂, N₂), enabling extended imaging sessions under physiological or hypoxic conditions without compromising cell health or experimental accuracy.
Designed for maximum convenience, the OSI-2 features an on-board air compressor, eliminating the need for an external air tank, and integrates seamlessly with EVOS software for direct control of environmental parameters and image acquisition settings.
Key Features & Benefits
- Complete Environmental Control – Maintain precise temperature, humidity, and gas composition for the entire duration of live-cell imaging experiments.
- Seamless Software Integration – Fully operated through the EVOS M5000 and M7000 user interface with automatic hardware recognition.
- On-Board Air Compressor – Eliminates the need for separate air tanks, simplifying setup.
- Flexible Vessel Compatibility – Supports slides, chambered slides, coverglass, multiwell plates, petri dishes, and T-25/T-75 flasks.
- Hypoxia Capability – Three gas line ports enable nitrogen purging for controlled low-oxygen environments.
- Quiet Operation – 45 dB with cover (48 dB without), ideal for sensitive laboratory environments.
- Stable Performance – ±0.1°C temperature stability minimizes thermal artifacts and focus drift.
