Nice equipment.
Cell culture for growing FMD Virus
I found it very easy to use. It gives me perfect environmental conditions for mammalian cell culture. After sale service isn't professional but still a good value for money product.

Usability suffers due to unnecessary complexity
Cell culture incubator
The incubator keeps consistent CO2 and O2 levels, the sterilization cycle works, but the workmanship is extremely poor. First, the inner door handles broke after a month - all of three them - , and it took 6 months for Thermo Fisher to send a replacement. Second, The door-close sensor is set improperly, so it will often say the door is open even when there is a full seal. You have to manually depress the switch then close the door to get it to register the fact. If you are going to add extra doors and sensors to an incubator, at least make sure they are reliable in the field.

Highly recommended!
General cell culture use.
We use these incubators for a variety of critical cell cultures for our work. They are easy to use and extremely functional. The self-cleaning function is great for simple sterilization of the interior (though the need to remove the HEPA filter is a bit annoying). The graphic interface is very intuitive. Great incubator that I've used across many different institutions!

Nice Incubator
Stem cell culture
The incubator has been in constant use for the last year or so, it is in a busy lab with various models of Panasonic incubator and is the favorite one. Compared to our Panasonics the recovery time is better, the shelves do not bow and the display on the front is more user friendly. The Hepa filter needs to be removed before decontamination and the port for monitoring the gas could be improved. The extra-large wheels on the base when stacking them makes the top shelves very high!

Designing effective contamination prevention strategy: Crucial factors to consider for cell therapy production
In advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMP) manufacturing, the quality and safety of the product needs to be ensured from the first stages of development. Discover how to design an effective contamination prevention strategy that will minimize risks to cell therapy products and allow you to implement appropriate control measures.
The webinar will outline the types and sources of particulates in a cell therapy production environment and their impact on product quality and safety. It will also explore the role of laboratory equipment in contamination prevention, and provide clarity around regulatory requirements, validation methodology, and the validation process for laboratory equipment.
Key learning objectives
- GMP guidance for ATMP – how to identify risks to cell therapy products and implement appropriate control measures
- The role of laboratory equipment in contamination prevention and what to look for when sourcing suitable equipment
- Types and sources of particulates in the cell therapy production environment and their impact on product quality and safety
- Regulatory requirements and validation methodology for particle emission testing
- The validation process and compatibility of lab equipment with disinfection protocols
- How to evaluate effectiveness of lab equipment, including built-in features designed to control contamination
- How to determine lab equipment suitability for GMP cleanroom environments
Who should attend?
Lab scientists, lead scientists, R&D scientists, principal investigators, engineers and lab or facility managers involved in the cell therapy development journey starting from R&D and pre-clinical / clinical testing (translational institutes, medical institutes, academic incubators, GMP production facilities) through to the later stages of cell therapy development, such as commercialisation / scale up and QC testing, usually taking place in Biotech, Biopharma, Contract Research Organisations (CRO), Contract Manufacturing Organisations (CMO) & Contract Development and Manufacturing Organizations (CDMO).
This webinar will be of interest to principal investigators, lead scientists, research scientists, lab managers, facility managers, process engineers, and others working in this field.
