Hypoxia Incubators and Chambers

Hypoxia incubators, workstations, and chambers are used for experiments that require oxygen levels below the ambient atmosphere. As oxygen levels regulate many metabolic functions in cells, hypoxia incubators allow for the reproducible and precise control of O2 gas within the chamber, usually by varying the level of nitrogen. However, not all incubators can control extremely low (less than 1%) oxygen levels. Aside from incubators, hypoxia workstations and chambers function like glove boxes that enable researchers to handle cells and samples under controlled, hypoxic conditions. Many of these also include temperature control and can function like an incubator. Look for useful features like alarms and monitoring for sample protection, data recording, and direct O2 control. Hypoxia incubators connected to imaging systems and plate readers are useful for cancer cell research, metabolic disease research, and investigations of cellular growth factors.
