Product catalog summary
Overview: The document introduces the OxyCycler GT4181C, an advanced gasotransmitter controller designed for precise and reproducible carbon monoxide (CO) exposure in cell culture systems. It addresses the challenges of CO research by providing a controlled environment for dynamic and static exposures.
Specifications: The system controls O2, CO2, and CO levels, with a CO range of 0-400 PPM. It uses electro-galvanic fuel cells for O2 and CO sensors, and infrared sensing for CO2. The system operates on 12VDC power and includes safety features like ambient room safety sensors.
System Components: The OxyCycler GT4181C consists of a GT41 mother controller and a GT81C piggyback controller. It is compatible with standard C-Chambers and fits existing incubators. The system includes a multipod adapter plate for microbial barrier protection and easy maintenance.
Installation and Operation: The system requires specific gas supplies and calibration gases. It is operated via computer software, allowing programmable exposure profiles that can be stored and repeated. The controller sits outside the incubator, with umbilicals connecting to the internal components.
Safety and Monitoring: Safety procedures include ensuring well-ventilated gas tank locations, checking for leaks, and minimizing exposure setpoints. Optional safety hoods and ambient sensors are available for monitoring gas levels. The system can model hypoxic and hyperoxic conditions to simulate physiological and pathophysiological environments.
Performance and Applications: The OxyCycler GT4181C supports hypoxic preconditioning and graded hypoxia, useful for preparing cells for implantation or studying disease models. It allows for controlled oxygen toxicity modeling, relevant for various medical and research applications.
Technical Details: The document provides detailed specifications for electrical power, control range, accuracy, gas supply, and system dimensions. It also outlines the operational parameters for sensors and the configuration of the controller's front and back panels.

CO Subchamber Cell Culture System CytoCentric Products • First CO Gasotransmitter Cell Culture System • Precise Automated Exposures of CO • Dynamic or Static Exposures • Simulate Physiologic and Pathophysiologic conditions • Unprecedented CO Induced Phenotypes The GT series all use the same multipod adapter plate. This attaches to a C-Chamber and sits within your incubator. Single Chamber 0-400 PPM CO Control ADVANCED GASOTRANSMITTER INCUBATION Carbon monoxide (CO) is now known to be an exciting gasotransmitter involved in cell signaling, with powerful and interesting effects on cell phenotype. Until now, CO was difficult to study in cell culture because the only available method for applying CO in vitro used to be chemical donors. This method made it messy and difficult to control, and CO exposures were hard to reproduce. Now, with the OxyCycler GT4181C controller, cell culture in subchamber culture systems makes CO research easy, precise and very reproducible. UNLIMITED PROGRAMMED, DYNAMIC EXPOSURES Consisting of a GT41 which provides the common O2, CO2, and RH control, and the modular GT81C piggyback controller, which provides the CO, a subchamber culture system controlled by the OxyCycler GT4181C is the most advanced and reliable method for CO culture. Any dose and duration to cells in culture can be simply programmed. With the click of a mouse, any exposure can be precisely reproduced. Inside the culture chamber, all critical conditions are controlled by the OxyCycler GT4181C. Interface between the cells in culture and the GT4181C is completely protected by a microbial barrier. In addition, none of the sensors are directly exposed to the cells. This way, if the culture chamber gets contaminated, the sensors will not. Likewise, if the sensors ever get contaminated, they cannot contaminate your cells. MODULAR FLEXIBILITY The controller is compatible and will fit any standard size C-Chamber. The entire system will fit any existing incubator

Oxycycler GT4181C-3

Hypoxic stress can model components of many severe diseases such as heart attacks, strokes, asthma, or epilepsy. Frequency, duration and degree of drops are all adjustable. Cells destined for implantation will experience hypoxia and may be better prepared if they are conditioned to it before implantation. Ischemia may also be protected by conditioning. The OxyCycler GT4181C can easily run any preconditioning profile. Acute Hyperoxia Graded Hypoxia Model step reduction in oxygen, similar to altitude acclimation, to gradually condition cells for hypoxic upregulation of gene expression. The rate...
