Increasing Number of Activities Related To Cell Culture Boosts Demand for Hypoxia Chamber
The hypoxia chamber consists of an outer shell made from an aluminum alloy. The inner chamber is an acrylic tube containing a sterile solution containing a non-toxic solution of solution, water and bovine collagen. The outer chamber, along with a sterile needle containing microcassettes for inserting the samples, forms the inner chamber. The inner chamber is sealed with a precision-fitted lid which is closed by snap-locking lever. Hypoxia is a form of oxygen deprivation, depriving a cell of oxygen, which can result in cell death. Cell death in the presence of oxygen leads to cell suicide, or programmed cell death. There are different types of hypoxia chamber systems including Closed Hypoxia Incubator (CLI), which utilize a closed pumping mechanism for circulation of media within the chamber. The closed chamber allows for optimal temperature and circulation control, along with minimal contamination. Continuous flow of media results in optimal oxygen concentration and temperat...
