Sometimes Cells Need To Still Be In The Body ... to complement in vitro data with in vivo data. Cell Research: Whole organism modeling is sometimes necessary in order to complement and substantiate cell culture data. Some cellular phenomena can only be modeled by exposure of whole organisms during different stages of development to various physiologic gases. Not surprising, these are the same gases important for cells in the dish. In contrast to cells in vitro, cells in vivo still have local communication ties to neighboring cells. They also still have humoral and neural communication lines to...

The Foundation for Good Laboratory Practices When combined with one or more controllers, the A-Chamber becomes its own environment, where the atmosphere can be monitored and maintained. The gases the animals are exposed to can be for an experimental disease model, or to keep valuable animals separate from technicians without dangerous off gas build up. If used with controllers featuring a monitor pod or limit controller, CO2 can be controlled at 1200ppm, OSHA’s standard of air quality for humans, or even lower. Since CO2 is the most-produced off product of animals, keeping CO2 in check means...

The A84XOV can use a PC interface (desktop or laptop) to control and monitor oxygen with ease. Typical Configuration OxyCycler A84XOV Multi-Chamber Dynamic Oxygen Controller The Oxycycler A84XOV is a powerful research tool for scientists who do oxygen sensitive work. It makes complex oxygen profile control easy. Using a PC interface, you can create four independent, controlled profiles in up to four different chambers. Control oxygen profiles with multiple setpoints anywhere from 0.1-99.9% oxygen. Control both the time between setpoints and how many times the protocol repeats (1-999 or loop infinitely)....

The A41OV can use a PC interface (desktop or laptop) to control and monitor oxygen with ease. Typical Configuration OxyCycler A41OV Dynamic Oxygen Controller The OxyCycler A41OV controls a single chamber with programmable, dynamic Oxygen. Create a scheduled pattern for oxygen levels that can repeat as often as you need. This allows you to simulate a great range of conditions. From sleep apnea to recreating a heart attack’s effect on O2 within the body and more, this controller is ideal for scenarios where a technician only needs one chamber masterfully controlled. • Dynamic setpoint (0.1-99.9%)...

The ProOx P360 is easily operated via front panel interface. Optionally, the controller can be built to work via PC software, adding trend plotting. Typical Configuration High Infusion Rate Oxygen Controller The ProOx P360 was designed to handle the oxygen demands of large chambers, typically found in animal modeling applications, more efficiently. With a maximum flow rate 10 times that of the ProOx P110 (also shown in this catalog), your chamber gas adjustments happen much more rapidly. The integrated flow rate adjuster allows you to dial in your desired flow rate with a simple twist of a knob....
