OxyGenie™ - IDEAL FOR SHORT TERM HYPOXIA/PHYSOXIA STUDIES

OXYGENIE - YOUR ENTRY INTO PHYSOXIA

OxyGenie™ is a key tool for use in proof-of-concept or start-up validation for physiological cell culture.

OxyGenie™ connects directly to a gas cylinder for continuous physoxia; or, it may be utilized as a portable tool when utilizing miniature gas cylinders supplied with each device.

6 culture wells facilitate complete enclosed physiological for adaptation to any experimental procedure.

TEMPERATURE:

(including the level of stability/uniformity).

• Temperature control up to 60°C.
• T - range: from ambient to 60°C.
• T - accuracy on specimen: ± 0.3°C.
• External T - sensor (included).
• On-board data logging and download routines to USB.
• On-board logging of calibration and alarm events.
• Alarm buzzer and external alarm connector.

LCD TOUCH SCREEN CONTROL:

• Touch screen adjustable temperature parameters and temperature data logging.
• External temperature sensors (included) and self-calibration routines allow easy calibration of the heating devices for the highest accuracy on sample temperature.
• The controller is equipped with password-protected routines to re-calibrate the sensors against certified thermometers.

IMAGING CAPABILITIES:

• Silicone culture wells were seated on microscope slides of different thicknesses: 170um, 500um, and 1mm.
• Borosilicate coverslip mount on request (#5 -> 0.5mm thick or #1.5 -> 0.17mm thick).
• Focal plane 1.8mm (with 1mm glass) from the bottom of the heater plate (heater attached).
• Weight: 8kg.

Recommended gas composition of used mixtures with Nitrogen (N₂) as carrier gas – O₂: 0% - 21%, CO₂: 0% - 10%.

KEY FEATURES:

• Plug & play in just a few steps.
• Benchtop working with easy storage.
• Easy access for researchers looking to carry out short-term physiological experiments.
• Useful for shared equipment such as confocal microscopes, and electron microscopy sample preparation.
• Irradiation compatible (needs to be uncoupled from OxyGenie™ before treatment) Utilize ‘filler station’ and mini gas bottle to perform portable physiological studies (sold as an optional accessory).
• Can accommodate a wide variety of cell types, including animal cells, bacteria, fungi, plants, drosophila, etc.
