For precise gas control of stable hypoxic/anoxic environments
Pencoed, UK, 25th February 2008: Ruskinn Technology Limited has today launched its new, enhanced gas mixer – Gas Mixer Q – for the precise control of hypoxic or anoxic conditions during the study of complex cell interactions. Designed to interact with the INVIVO2 hypoxic workstations, the gas mixing system provides accurate control over O2 from 0.00-20.90% and CO2 from 0.00-30.00% through incremental steps of 0.10% (2 decimal places) for higher precision and accuracy. Gas Mixer Q is ideal for researchers who perform experiments under low oxygen tension and those investigating the specific effects of CO2 on cells.
