Miniature Microscope Incubators > CO2/O2 Controllers


CO2 and hypoxia controller - CO2-O2-MI

Designed for live cell imaging and time-lapsed microscopy, for use with miniature incubators and custom enclosures. Connects to a cylinders with compressed CO2 gas and balance gas - Nitrogen usually. The output connects directly to a gas port of the incubator or a humidifier. Simple to use through the touch screen. The controller makes 0-20% CO2 and 0-20% O2 mixture to supply inside the incubator. CO2 control at 5% level keeps pH of media constant. The controller ships adjusted for 5% CO2 level requirement. Can be adjusted to fill incubators of different volumes by controlling output flow rate. The instrument not only controls gas content inside the incubator, but also brings the gas consumption to the minimum. For hyperoxia applications, consider another model. Sample publications.

Heated humidifier CO2-500ml
A heated platform with 1L reservoir to provide gas saturation with water vapors by passing the gas mixture through heated water. When passed through heated water, CO2 mixture becomes humid. Can be also used as an indicator of gas flow - bubbles will indicated gas flowing inside the incubator. Connects inline between the controller and the incubator.

Heated Water Trap TC-HUM
This heated 5in. long plastic cylinder able to trap water that might come out from humidifiers due to condensation. The temperature control inside the cylinder continuously warms the gas flowing from humidifiers and eliminates temperature fluctuations inside the incubator. The cylinder incorporates an easy disconnect cap to remove water. Small size allows to position the trap next to the incubator on the microscope stage. Includes two luer barbed connectors (male and female) to connect tubing. Includes a 1-channel temperature controller and 10in long flexible heater wrapped around the cylinder. Connects inline between the humidifier and the incubator.

Required accessories: sources of CO2, N2 gases, miniature incubator.

Optional accessories: a humidifier CO2-500ML, Heated water trap TC-HUM.
