Galaxy® CO2 Incubator Applications
Stem Cell Research
 Stem cell research is advancing at a rapid pace and recent studies have shown that for many cell types, an environment closer to the physiological oxygen concentrations (2 - 5%) the cells normally encounter in-vivo can result in:
- smaller cells with reduced complexity
- reduced spontaneous differentiation
- increased clonogenicity
- reduced spontaneous chromosomal aberration frequencies
- extensive propagation of specialized clonal derivative cells.
Galaxy CO2 incubators offer a direct-heating system which gently bathes cells in warm convected air. In addition, we offer highly regulated CO2 and O2 environments with the ability to closely mimic physiological normoxic conditions and to provide the optimal environment for stem cell work. Rapidly emerging stem cell technology requires a greater sophistication in the incubation process than traditional incubators can provide.
 With the availability of three different ranges of oxygen control (0.1 – 19%, 1 - 19%, 1 - 95% O2 ranges) Galaxy incubators offer stem cell scientists greater choice and flexibility in controlling cellular O2 levels than any other brand of CO2 incubator. The features and design of Galaxy incubators make them ideal for this critical and sensitive emerging field of study.
In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
Galaxy CO2 incubators allow clinicians and embryologists to closely, reliably and repeatability mimic the environmental conditions that sperm, oocytes, blastocysts and developing embryos encounter in-vivo. Each Galaxy incubator is custom-manufactured, giving practitioners the largest choice of optional features. Many features can be also be retrofitted at a later date, allowing modifications to operating parameters, as optimal IVF incubation conditions are further defined.
 Choose from three sizes:
Galaxy 170 for high cycle throughput clinics and for media storage. Galaxy 48 is compact, stackable, and easily capable of incubating up to six patient samples. Galaxy 14 is ideal for culturing 1 to 2 patient samples; and for incubation while samples undergo observation and manipulation.
Wide choice of O2 control options:
1 - 19%, 1 - 95%, or 0.1 - 19%
Specialized IVF service and support:
New Brunswick has a dedicated global network of specialist IVF distributor partners, who have in-depth knowledge and specialist technicians who can respond immediately and restore correct function to your incubator.
With the many unique advantages that Galaxy CO2 incubators offer, together with unparalleled support and service, it is not surprising that they have become the incubators of choice in IVF clinics.
