INCUBATION DEVICE FOR MICROTITER PLATES

摘要

In the incubation device for microtiter plates, which comprises a heating and incubation chamber, the heating chamber (21) has a controllable hot-air generator (3, 7) over which are arranged air-guide devices (4, 5) for the equalization and distribution of the stream of hot air to the microtiter plates (1), as well as air-guide devices (6) for the collection and return of the hot air to the hot-air generator (3, 7). The heating chamber can be closed by a gate (2). The incubation chamber (22) is divided into a plurality of compartments (9) by shelves (25) for receiving the microtiter plates, it being possible to close each compartment (9) by a gate (2), and the side walls (23) of the compartments (9) being provided with heating devices (11). Furthermore, the incubation device is provided with a gripping and transporting device (26) whose working platform (18) is vertically displaceable and which has a horizontally displaceable gripping arm (19).
