The Problem with Traditional Incubators

Most incubators were designed for a world before automation, AI, and high-throughput experimentation. They limit visibility, flexibility, and data-driven decision making.

Limited Visibility and Control

Experiments run “blind,” with no visibility without opening the door, and no option for remote monitoring or control.

 

Poor Scalability

Need to purchase separate incubators for new workflows or capacities, which increases the cost and complexity of controlling them separately.

No Integrated Data or AI

Most systems lack built-in imaging, structured data capture, or analytics. That means no automated insight, no trend detection.

 

Meet the Modular AI Vision Incubator System

A flexible incubation platform that combines modular hardware, high-resolution imaging, and AI-assisted analytics—so your lab can see more, adapt faster, and scale smarter.

Stackable Modular Chambers

Configure and reconfigure multiple chambers for different experiments, capacities, and environmental requirements—all on a single base unit.

Built-in AI Enhanced Imaging

Integrated cameras enable time-lapse imaging and real-time observation and the possibility of application base analysis and prediction.

Stable Environments

Advanced temperature precision, optional high-range humidity control, and both manual and application-based operation ensure stable, uniform, and fully automated incubation conditions.

Remote Monitoring and Control

Control all functionalities remotely and access experiment data, review images, and receive alerts from a web dashboard, enabling true remote and distributed workflows.

Why We Can Build This Device

Our team has engineered and prototyped various types of laboratory instruments for 20 years, including incubators, ovens, centrifuges, chemical and laminar flow hoods, rotator shakers, water baths, and specialized safety equipment. This broad experience ensures we understand both engineering requirements and medical device standards. Furthermore, we are equipped with expertise in modern software technologies and AI.

We know the standards and design incubators to meet international performance benchmarks, achieving:

  • 20–80°C temperature range (expandable for refrigerated or R-incubator models)

  • Up to 95% humidity control

  • ±0.2°C temperature uniformity under full load

  • PID microprocessor control, Class-A sensors, and dual over-temperature protection

  • 316/304 stainless-steel chambers with rounded, easy-clean design

Before prototyping, we perform Finite Element Analysis (FEA), vibration testing, and high-accuracy simulations. All electronics, firmware, and control systems are built in-house, and we integrate AI-enabled monitoring for smarter, safer performance.

By analyzing and understanding the technologies behind top global brands like Siemens, Eppendorf, Memmert, Hitachi, and Mindray, we are able to adapt and integrate their proven engineering approaches into our next-generation incubator.

How You Can Contribute

Our team has strong expertise in mechanical design, prototyping, software implementation, and AI development; however, your contribution is essential in several critical areas.

Early-Stage Financial Support for Prototyping
As we move from concept to physical prototype, we require early-stage financial support to validate core functions, test modularity, and build our first generation of mechanical and electronic assemblies. This funding will enable us to transform our concept into a working proof-of-concept system ready for iterative development.
Scientific Guidance and Subject-Matter Expertise
At this stage, scientific insight is essential to ensure that our incubation concept aligns with real research workflows. We seek experts from fields such as microbiology, cell culture, environmental testing, and pharmaceutical R&D who can help us refine requirements, identify critical features, and validate practical applications before prototyping begins.
Mentorship on Standards, Certifications, and Regulatory Strategy
Even in the concept phase, aligning with long-term standards and compliance requirements is crucial. We need mentors who can guide us through applicable laboratory equipment standards, safety expectations, and regulatory pathways in Canada. Their support will help us design with compliance in mind from the very beginning, reducing redesign later.
Patent and Intellectual Property Mentorship
Our concept introduces novel approaches in modular design, environmental control, and AI-driven monitoring. We need mentorship to assess what aspects may be patentable, establish an early IP strategy, and understand the best path for protecting our innovations before entering the prototyping and public disclosure stage.
Workspace and Light Fabrication Access
To begin turning our concept into a tangible prototype, we need access to shared labs, fabrication workshops, and light manufacturing spaces. Having a physical environment for early mechanical assembly, electronics integration, and rapid iteration is essential for advancing beyond the conceptual phase.
Marketing and Market Discovery Support
We are seeking mentorship to help us identify and understand our early target users, evaluate market demand, and shape our initial value proposition. Expert guidance at this stage will help us validate problem–solution fit, assess competitive landscapes, and position our concept effectively before moving into development.
