Seamless Integration of Astec Bio Incubators in XiltriX monitoring System

Many IVF labs are looking to use their lab space more efficiently. By replacing box type incubators with benchtop incubators, precious laboratory space can be saved. The trouble though is most incubators cannot be easily integrated with monitoring solutions in the market.

Dr. Salman Aldakhilallah of the King Fahad Medical City in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia has been an important XiltriX customer for many years and recently wanted to expand his laboratory with Astec Bio AD3100 incubators. The lab already used the XiltriX real-time monitoring solution, and desired to connect the benchtop incubators completely in their existing XiltriX system for all critical parameters. Knowing XiltriX was able to solve this problem for them, it gave them the assurance to select the Astec Bio incubators. XiltriX International cooperated directly with both its partner Kafou Medical and Astec Bio to provide a plug-and-play connection solution.

Astec Bio has engineered their incubators to be ready for monitoring, enabling a direct interface without modifications. To allow for an even easier connection, XiltriX collaborated with Astec on the design of dedicated connection cables, which are kept in stock at XiltriX for rapid deployment worldwide. These cables are available for all types of Astec Bio incubators and pinouts for all devices are properly documented.
