Description
The VelO2x system has been engineered to provide an isolated and highly controlled oxygen environment to small animal models (ie mouse and/or rat). By directly mimicking the oxygen conditions experienced across a wide variety of disease or treatment models, the VelO2x grants researchers a better understanding of how O2 levels affect various conditions such as sleep apnea, systemic hypertension, pulmonary dysfunction, and ischemia to name a few.
The VelO2x system itself has two components – a gas mixer and an animal chamber. The ICONIC Gas Mixer, which offers pinpoint control of O2, is connected to the isolated chamber where animals are held. The isolated chamber comes in 2 sizes: a 31L and 66L size which hold 1 and 2 cages respectively.
