Astec CHRONOS Timelapse Incubator
The next generation in embryo culture and monitoring technology. Designed to enhance clinical outcomes and streamline workflows, CHRONOS provides continuous, undisturbed observation of embryos throughout incubation, supporting improved decision-making and patient satisfaction.
Key Features
The CHRONOS is an advanced embryo-culture incubator that provides a quiet, precisely controlled environment for early embryo development. It enables non-invasive, continuous time-lapse imaging from fertilization to transfer, allowing embryos to be monitored without disturbance and images to be captured at user-defined intervals. Temperature is maintained within ±0.2 °C (or ±0.1 °C on select models), while CO₂ and O₂ concentrations are continuously monitored and automatically adjusted in real time, even after brief drawer access. The system is compatible with dedicated EmbryoGrid IVF culture dishes, ergonomically designed with non-slip stability and precise alignment to the tray optics for optimal performance and traceability.
EmbyroGrid IVF Dish
The EmbryoGrid IVF dish is a thoughtfully designed
IVF dish specifically tailored for today's IVF labs and
procedures, enabling embryologists to consistently
achieve higher success rates, time after time.
Central Grid of Microwells
The central grid of microwells allows a group of embryos to share the same culture media while still providing individual control over each embryo. The alpha-numeric labelling system makes viewing the embryos in the CHRONOS simple.
Lid Optimised for Oil Overlay Culture
The EmbryoGrid lid features a unique design that increases the space between the dish rim and the lif, improving CO2 exchange.
