OXYGEN CONCENTRATION

Changes in O2 concentration do affect the physiology of the cells in vivo and now you can simulate these O2 dynamics in vitro. Complex, multi-setpoint oxygen profiles can be arranged to recreate conditions such as heart attack, strokes and epilepsy. When a profile is made, it can be reproduced to develop these dynamic models. The OxyCycler C42 is the predominant instrument capable of meeting these demands.

CREATE ANY PROFILE

The OxyCycler C42 incubator controller is a unique instrument that offers sophisticated O2 and CO2 profiling. It easily creates any profile needed between 0.1-99.9% O2 and 0.1-20.0% CO2 independently and in multiple chambers simultaneously. The OxyCycler C42 enables multiple setpoints for any length of time, over any rate of change between these setpoints with any number of cycles and setpoints. The OxyCycler C42 makes complex oxygen cycling easy.

MANY FEATURES

A standard OxyCycler C42 comes with computer software for easy interface, real time trend charting, data logging, and remote operation. Since the OxyCycler C42 works with semi-sealed subchambers the profiles are normobaric. N2 and O2gas infusions displace the chamber gas while internal and external pressure remain equilibrated.
