The Esco Medical MIRI® II-12 Multiroom Incubator is intended to be used to provide a stable culture environment at or near body temperature and CO2 and N2 gasses for the development of gametes and embryos during In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) and Assisted Reproduction Technology (ART) treatments.
To ensure maximum performance and ensure an environment with the least amount of stress for embryos, the Esco MIRI® II-12 Multiroom Incubator dedicates one chamber for each patient and has 24 completely separate PID temperature controllers.
The compartments are separate from one another and do not affect each other's temperatures in any way. There is no effect on the remainder of the system from any disruption in one chamber, such as a temperature reduction after opening the lid. The temperature in the culture chambers and the lids can be controlled and regulated as well. The top and the bottom of each compartment are separated with a PET layer so that the lid temperature would not affect the bottom.
For validation purposes, each compartment has a PT-1000 sensor built-in. The circuitry is separated from the unit's electronics, so it remains a genuinely separate validation system.
The incubator needs 100% CO2 and 100% N2 to control the CO2 and O2 concentrations in the culture chambers. A dual-beam infra-red CO2 sensor with extremely low drift rates controls the CO2 levels. On the other hand, a chemical, medical-grade oxygen sensor controls the levels of the O2 in the system.
