We offer an upgrade path for the InsituPro with a functional thermorack 30 work area to the advanced liquid handling and operation system of the InsituPro VS for small or medium sized baskets. This significantly improves the preservation of the specimens and eases maintenance. Additionally, the InsituPro will be operated by a PC to make operation and editing methods more convenient than with the keypad.
Sample rack configurations
| Work area kit for 30 small specimens | Up to 30 baskets with diameter 5 mm, e.g. for Drosophila, zebrafish and young mouse embryos |
| Work area kit for 30 medium specimens | Up to 30 baskets with diameter 10 mm, e.g. for chicken and mouse |
Number of individual probes
| 30

Windows Editor software for the InsituPro
The pre-defined standard protocols delivered with the InsituPro are now easier to edit than ever before. Designed as a graphical interface, the Windows Editor software shows the work area, the protocol and important parameters on the computer screen. With some intuitive clicks and copy/paste operations you can adapt any of the protocols to your specific needs.
The most recent software allows direct operation of the InsituPro with a PC. Please ask us for further requirements.
