OxyCycler - Model A44C -Dynamic CO2 Controller for Animal Modeling

Dynamic CO2 Controller for Animal Modeling

• Static or Dynamic CO2control
• Reproducible Hypercapnia Exposures
• Controls four chambers independently
• Monitoring and quality control
• Data logging
• Convenient PC user interface
• Hypercapnia In Vivo

FULL RANGE DYNAMIC PROFILES

Use this dynamic CO2 controller for animal modeling to control carbon dioxide profiles with multiple setpoints anywhere from 0.1-20%.

Hold any setpoint for any length of time. Rate of change between any two setpoints is fully adjustable. Cycle any profile any fixed number of times, or continuously.

WORKS IN ANY CHAMBER

The OxyCycler A44C works exceptionally well with BioSpherix A-Chambers. However, it can work with practically any semi-sealable enclosure. Large or small. Square or round. Flexible or rigid. Manufactured or custom made. Most chambers can be fitted in minutes.

MULTI-CHAMBER IS PRODUCTIVE

The dynamic CO2 controller for animal modeling controls up to four chambers at once. Operate all chambers simultaneously, or each independent of the others. Control different profiles, or same profile in every chamber. Start all at the same time, or each at different times.

CONTROL IS EFFICIENT

Nitrogen or compressed dry air is infused to lower CO2. Carbon Dioxide is infused to raise it. Feedback from the carbon dioxide sensor inside chamber tells the OxyCycler A44C exactly infuse. No gas is ever wasted! Any disturbances are immediately detected and corrected.

OPERATION IS SIMPLE

Once installed and configured, it’s easy. Check calibration once in a while and don’t run out of gas. Otherwise it’s all automatic! Can work continuously year round, or on occasion as needed.
