The Ruskinn range of hypoxia workstations has been designed to replicate low oxygen 'in vivo' physiology providing the ideal research platform for cell biologists and cancer researchers.
Features and Benefits
Optimum Working Capacity using Minimum Bench Space - 494 plates (96 well) working capacity
Rapid Sample Transfer - Interlock transfers 56 plates (96 well) in 5 minutes
Direct-Hand Access into Workstation - Using convenient cuff & sleeve system (Ezee Sleeve™)
Low Gas Consumption - Designed to work with Nitrogen for economical running costs
Safe Working Environment - VOC filtration tested and validated
Accurate Oxygen Control - Oxygen stability from 0.0% (anoxia) to 20.9% (ambient) in 0.1% increments with one touch sensor calibration
Accurate CO2 Control - CO2 stability from 0.0% to 30.0% in 0.1% increments
Cycle Programming - Allows a user-defined timed sequence of up to 4 different O2 and CO2 concentrations
Accurate Temperature Control - Incubation control from Ambient + 5°C to 45°C
Accurate Humidity Control - Option of ultrasonic humidity system to give precise environmental control
Imaging Ready - Please ask about imaging options
Invivo2 500 (A) for Animal studies - Please ask about our modified interlock protocol that allows you to choose the level of O2 reached during the purge cycle
