Mechanical characteristics
Reshape Imaging device dimensions, front
Reshape Imaging device dimensions, side
Weight: 25 kg
The sample trays which hold plates during imaging are 500x330x6mm in outer dimensions.
The tallest object that can be placed with clearance under the door/camera in the Imaging Device are approximately 60mm in height.
Please note that the device uses a static focus designed for microtiter plates and petri dishes, and so tall objects might not be in focus
Incubation temperature characteristics
Minimum Incubation Temperature range (Absolute) from 10°C - 40°C.
Minimum Incubation Temperature (Relative to Ambient): +5°C above the ambient temperature.
Incubation Temperature Stability: Maintains within ±1°C of the setpoint
Incubation Temperature Homogeneity: Uniformity within ±1°C of the setpoint across the chamber.
Power draw and electrical requirements
Compatible with both 110V and 230V outlets
Max power draw: 150W
Max current draw @ 230V: 0.7A
Idle power consumption: <20W
In the event of a power outage, your Imaging Device will activate the Auto Resume feature, automatically continuing imaging from the current job time once power is restored — no restart required.
Please note that any images scheduled during the power outage will be lost.
Environmental Requirements
Operating ambient temperature range from 10°C to 35°C.
Relative humidity less than 70% RH (non-condensing).
