Plas Labs Hypoxia Chamber
Click here to see used and refurbished Plas Labs Hypoxia Chamber from American Instrument Exchange.
We pretty psyched about this Hypoxia Chamber from Plas Labs. The model 856-HYPO is ideal for tissue culture work, including tumor cell and stem cell research, and is engineered to provide a controlled temperature, oxygen and carbon dioxide work area. It features an internal circulation fan, single electrical receptacle, and clear acrylic transfer chamber. One pair of glove ports are mounted on the main chamber.
The unit is controlled via the 8” color touch screen display mounted on the fan and motor housing, where it is easy to see from the operator’s position. The main screen displays the chamber process values for oxygen and carbon dioxide percentages and temperature. Oxygen can be controlled from 0-25%, carbon dioxide from 0-20%, and temperature from ambient to 40°C. The display also features on-screen data logging and external data logging (to hard drive or USB thumb drive). Other features of the control system include a 240-watt silicone heater, internal circulation fan, serrated gas inlets for nitrogen and carbon dioxide, an internal linear pump for oxygen introduction, and internal metering valves for nitrogen and carbon dioxide.
The control system is connected to sensors on the back of the Hypoxia Chamber that constantly send an analog signal back to the internal programmable logic controller (PLC). The PLC converts the respective analog signals into oxygen and carbon dioxide percentages. Depending on the set points, the PLC will either remove or add oxygen or carbon dioxide.
The basic housing of the Plas Labs 856-HYPO is formed of .375” thick clear cast acrylic and bright white acrylic back and floor with one piece thermoset white bottom, one pair of glove port rings with gloves, LED light strips (top mounted), pressure relief valve, internal circulation fan and single electrical receptacle with sealed cover.
The transfer chamber is constructed of .375” thick acrylic plastic which is also rigid. The clear acrylic provides constant visual observation over any items being transferred into or out of the glove box and is mounted to the right side of the Hypoxia Chamber. It includes inner and outer doors with black neoprene gasket, continuous stainless-steel hinge and two stainless steel toggle clamps; two gas purging valves, and vacuum gauge.
