Sartorius Incucyte S3-C2 Inverted Fluorescence Motorized Microscope with Controller (Used – As-Is)
The Sartorius Incucyte S3-C2 is a fully automated inverted imaging platform built for real-time live-cell analysis inside a standard CO₂ incubator. Designed for hands-free acquisition of phase contrast and dual-channel fluorescence images, this system supports continuous time-lapse monitoring of cell cultures across multi-well plates.
Please note that this unit is being sold as-is and we are open to offers. It came in on consignment from the leasing company and was previously used in a working lab environment. It arrived in good condition and powers on, with limited functionality accessible via the touch panel.
However, we do not have the required software or license, and the included computer cannot communicate with the Incucyte. As the software license is non-transferable, we are unable to fully test or demonstrate the system. You will need to contact Sartorius directly to obtain a new license and arrange for any necessary service or support.
