Biological experiments are highly sensitive to even the slightest changes in their environmental conditions. The developed transport incubator ensures continuous temperature control, stable power supply, and real-time environmental monitoring throughout transport, pre-launch operations, and payload integration. By maintaining precisely controlled conditions until the experiment begins, the system effectively prevents transport-induced artefacts and ensures the integrity of biological samples.

The developed incubation device enables the simultaneous and exceptionally gentle chemical fixation of a large number of biological samples within a compact system. An innovative fluid distribution concept achieves high flow rates while preventing damaging shear forces on delicate cell cultures. This allows biological states to be preserved with high precision, providing the foundation for reproducible scientific experiments even under the demanding conditions of spaceflight missions.

The developed membrane-based fixation system introduces a fundamentally new approach to preserving biological samples for spaceflight applications. By eliminating pumps, valves, and complex tubing, the system significantly reduces technical complexity while bringing culture medium and fixative into controlled contact through an innovative membrane separation concept. The result is a rapid, gentle, and highly reliable fixation process for delicate cell cultures within a compact design optimized for scientific space missions.
