Panasonic incubators and the world’s first synthetic burger With an increasing world population and demand for meat products, there is a compelling case for developing alternative methods of production. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, global meat demand is estimated to increase by more than two-thirds by 2050, when there is expected to be a global population of 9 billion1). Rearing cattle for meat production on this scale requires a huge amount of money and resources. In response to this pressing issue, a team led by Professor Mark Post, alongside...

decontamination systems within the incubators were vital. If decontamination did not take place successfully, the whole process would need to restart. As the physical burger took 3 months to produce, this is a risk which could not be afforded. These three considerations – capacity, control and decontamination – were major concerns when specifying the equipment for the burger’s production. Panasonic was pleased to be able to provide a successful solution, comprising of two models of incubator, which met the required criteria. Capacity, control and decontamination The large range of Panasonic...

each incubator door opening, providing additional security to the cells in culture. In addition, all interior surfaces in the incubator are constructed from InCu saFe® copper-enriched stainless steel alloy, providing constant germicidal protection and, in combination with the SafeCell® UV lamp, preventing the growth of moulds, fungi and bacteria. The University of Maastricht also chose to use a H2O2 decontamination option for complete incubator decontamination. This process circulates vaporized hydrogen peroxide throughout the chamber to eliminate contaminants, after which it is broken down...

The added value of good instructional videos Panasonic Biomedical Journal

Open the catalog to page 10

Instructional videos are hot. The great thing about videos is that they visually present a product or service in an attractive and accessible way. In a simple, yet clear manner, they explain the operation, maintenance or servicing of products. As they reach a wide public, are persuasive, save time and are an excellent way to convey the manufacturer’s message, the use of Panasonic instruction videos online instructional videos really is an added value to every company. Yet many organizations do not use this means of communication. We at Panasonic, however, believe that the use of...

Panasonic incubators facilitating enhancements in IVF Panasonic Biomedical Journal

Open the catalog to page 12

Although occasionally taken for granted, a tightly controlled, reliable incubation system can be one of the most valuable pieces of equipment in a laboratory. The ability to culture a healthy cell line can make the difference between a successful and failed investigation, and influence the results of research projects. One prime example of this is the IVF research taking place at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, where Panasonic incubators are being used for cell cultivation. The Karolinska Institute With assisted reproduction now increasingly widespread and scientific technology...
