App Can Control Automated Incubator from Anywhere

Cell biology and screening scientists and technicians can now be free to monitor and control their automated incubators from virtually any location outside the laboratory where Wi-Fi is available.

The Thermo Scientific Cymon remote monitoring application essentially replicates the next-generation display of the Cytomat 10 Automated Incubator on a Samsung 10.1” touchscreen tablet, which can be operated remotely. The Cymon application is available as an option for the Cytomat 10 incubator, which includes the application, a tablet and a wireless router. The Cytomat 10 is a fully automated incubator and storage module for high-capacity cell growth and assay incubation. It is designed to access plates in less than 10 sec, and is equipped with a fully automated decontamination routine. It features the company’s “Next Generation Display,” which uses icons to help users monitor and control process set points, temperature, humidity, CO2, O2 and logging of up to 1,000 data sets with selectable increments.
