The supernatural evolution of the incubator
Beyond heat and precision, Reshape delivers clarity. Our smart incubator monitors experiments, records every result, and reveals hidden insights—so you never miss a discovery.
”This has not only helped us speed up our development time but also saved a lot of manual labor.”
“With the help of Reshape, we have moved further in improving the workflow in 6 months than in the 3 years before with other solutions we tried.”
“Reshape has given us a lot of new capabilities we didn’t have before, helping us tackle some of the trickiest experimental challenges in our work.”
“Getting deep insights into everything that happens during our experiment is hugely helpful to discover new phenomena more quickly.”
"The Reshape system has revolutionized how we screen and study microbial clones. We can now track metabolite production, release, and diffusion at an unprecedented scale.”

How it’s different from normal incubators
Unlike standard incubators, Reshape’s Smart Incubator provides continuous high-resolution imaging and precise AI analysis while your experiments incubate. It captures what would otherwise be missed—giving you an entirely new way to understand your assays.
Yes, it’s an incubator.
That can be controlled with up to five different temperatures, all at once.
But it’s also a camera.
It images all of your experiments during incubation and provides time lapse videos on our platform.
And it’s also a plate reader.
Get data such as colony counts, OD, color, size, and much more with our AI models.
Versatile plate and assay compatibility
Image any standard plate format, from Petri dishes to 384-well plates,
and run a wide range of assays.
Fits 75 petri dishes or 50 microtiter plates per incubator.
The next generation of incubator, opening the door for kinetic data
Reshape Discovery® is where your experiments live, grow & connect
Collaborate seamlessly and let our AI models transform every result into objective, digital data.
From ISO-certified models that detect pathogens like Salmonella and Listeria, to advanced R&D models built for discovery, Discovery® makes your data smarter, faster, and more reliable.

FAQ
Get answers to commonly asked questions.
What plate types are supported?
It is very flexible and can take anything from Petri dishes to 6–384 well microtiter plates.
How big is it?
One incubator is: Height: 190 cm (74.8 inches), Width: 88 cm (34.6 inches), Depth: 60 cm (23.6 inches).
How often can it take images?
From every 10 minutes upwards.
Can I run different assays with the same incubator?
Yes, you can run insect assays one day and colony count plates the other. The same incubator can be used for all of our assays.
How many plates can it hold?
Each incubator rack can hold 75 petri dishes or 50 microtiter plates. One sub-unit can hold up to 15 standard Petri dishes or 10 microtiter plates.
What temperature ranges are supported?
The incubators can be set between ambient +3 °C and 40 °C, covering most microbiology assays.
Does it work in dark or light conditions?
Yes, the imaging system is fully controlled and does not depend on ambient light. Optional illumination modules allow top and bottom light for dark agar and media and fluorescence imaging.
Can I access my data remotely?
All images and analysis data are stored in the Discovery platform and can be accessed through a secure web interface, making it easy to collaborate or review results from anywhere.
How easy is it to set up?
The incubators can be set between ambient +3 °C and 40 °C, covering most microbiology assays.
