AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In the laboratory, frequent opening and closing of the incubator doors leads to instability of the cell cultures, affects cell growth, and increases the risk of contamination and increases the burden of maintenance and cleaning.

Method used

The image detection system is adopted to monitor and evaluate the occupancy status of the storage area in the culture device through lighting devices, camera devices and data processing devices in real time, and provide information on the occupancy status to reduce unnecessary culture device opening and improve usage efficiency.

Benefits of technology

By reducing the opening frequency and time of the incubator door, keeping the environment stable, reducing the risk of cell culture contamination, improving cell growth reliability, and reducing maintenance and cleaning costs.
