Oxygen Control from 0-100%
The only system available for hypoxic/hyperoxic tissue culture studies that allow CO(2) incubation AND sample manipulation conveniently in a heated oxygen controlled atmosphere.
Through a strategically positioned oxygen sensor and controller the Coy Hypoxic Glove Box can maintain a uniform gas concentration throughout the chamber and optimum control. As gases are required in the glove box, they are introduced through a unique gas tube shower system which, along with the internal fan, provides the circulation required for uniform gas distribution and fast response of the controller. To allow for the relief of pressure induced by gas addition, special check/bleed valves are installed in the glove box.
Cultures are incubated in the heated, humidified, gas controlled (up to 100% O2 ) incubation box which resides inside the glove box. The glove box is heated and gas regulated, but not humidified. This allows samples to be analyzed with delicate equipment that would be damaged by high humidity. More importantly, controlled oxygen conditions are maintained in the sample analysis area. Tests that could not be performed with a bench top enclosure and CO(2) incubator because of the biologically fast reaction to ambient oxygen can now be performed.
Now all COY Hypoxic units can be equiped with optional CO2 Controls. For Precise control and monitoring of CO2 Gases inside the glove box.
