What is the ibidi Stage Top Incubator Multiwell Plate – Silver Line?

The ibidi Stage Top Incubator Multiwell Plate – Silver Line is a complete incubation system for high-throughput live cell imaging in multiwell plates on every inverted microscope with a standard K-frame fitting (160 × 110 mm). It combines the ibidi Heating System Multiwell Plate and the ibidi Gas Incubation System to deliver precise, stable control of temperature, humidity, and CO2/O2 throughout long-term imaging sessions.

Designed for motorized stage microscopy and high-content imaging workflows, the system supports ANSI/SLAS-standard multiwell plates including all ibidi µ-Plates, and eliminates evaporation through ibidi’s patented, feedback-controlled Humidity Control technology.

Key Features

• K-Frame Compatibility: Easy installation on any inverted microscope with a standard K-frame opening (160 × 110 mm) — no special adapters required.
• Active Humidity Control: Patented, feedback-controlled humidity regulation prevents evaporation inside the Incubation Chamber throughout long-term assays, maintaining stable media volumes and osmolarity.
• Optimal Heat Distribution: No condensation on the Incubation Chamber lid ensures brilliant, undisturbed images across all wells during time-lapse experiments.
• Highest Focus Stability: Heat regulation by continuous current minimizes temperature and z-position fluctuations for maximum imaging stability across the entire multiwell plate.
• CO2 and O2 Regulation: Full atmospheric control with independent CO2 and O2 regulation (CO2/O2 version: Cat. No. IBD-12726) enables hypoxia studies and physiologically accurate cell biology experiments.
• High-Throughput Compatible: Designed for standard multiwell plates with motorized stages, supporting high-content screening and high-resolution imaging workflows including DIC and TIRF microscopy.
