Estimating the term…
An incubator system configured to illuminate at least one or more cell culture chamber devices and to rotate them about a respective predetermined axis, each cell culture chamber device comprising an enclosure, the enclosure configured to contain a cell culture media, and at least one viewing area configured to allow inspection of at least a part of the cell culture media, the incubator system further comprising at least one illumination device and at least one monitoring device, the at least one monitoring device configured to provide one or more monitoring signals of at least part of an illuminated cell culture media or an illuminated cell culture chamber, illuminated, by at least one of the at least one illumination device, with a signal of electromagnetic radiation, preferably incoherent or coherent ultraviolet, visible, infrared, and/or near-infrared light of broad or narrow wavelength spectrum, and wherein the incubator system further comprises or is in connection with one or more processing units configured to extract and/or derive data from the one or more monitoring signals, said data representing one or more aspects of the cell culture chamber device itself and/or the cellular activity occurring within.

The incubator system according to any of the preceding claims, wherein the one or more processing units is configured to calculate a status of a cell culture process in one or more of the cell culture chambers by extracting or deriving data from the one or more monitoring signals from said one or more cell culture chamber device, wherein the incubator system is further configured to automatically modify or adjust the operation of the incubator based on the calculated status and/or to alert a user about the calculated status thereby allowing the user to manually adjust the operation of the incubator system.
The incubator system according to any of the preceding claims, wherein each respective predetermined axis is a horizontal or a substantially horizontal axis.
